Who said I did? Exposing hypocrits like Hines and Richardson is required, as
I do believe in "If you remain silent you agree."

Leo van de Pas, doing his best to Restore Civility...

Just because we are of the same opinion does not mean there is an
alliance
between myself and Peter Stewart, I cannot remember the last time I have
been in touch with him off list. Don't forget I also have the private
e-mail address of Spencer Hines, this does not mean I am in alliance with
him either.

The root of discord is crap produced and too many people willing to
accept
it, and let Peter Stewart and Leo van de Pas not spoil our little game of
mutual admiration, never mind that the quality of genealogy suffers.

What do you want from Gen-Med? "Nice" afternoon tea parties, or the
genealogical discussions the group was set up for?

We know for years the main contribution of Spencer Whines has been
attempts to display himself as the big know all, but who only gripes and
belittles other people. Genealogy, do you still know what the word means?

The "New Look" here, the Big Change from more Civil Times, is the
strong
alliance between Peter Stewart and Leo van de Pas, which is dedicated
to
bashing Douglas Richardson at every pass.

That's what lies at the root of the discord.

Quite so, Leo.

Hines is thrashing about in search of any way to save himself, flailing like
a fish that has thrown itself into a boat, no need for hook line or sinker
to land him. He is now trying hard to fillet himself, ready for the cooking
pan.

He doesn't realise that exposing the depths of his foolishness to the same
online audiences he spent years trying to convince of his smarts is counter
to his own interests. If he were to lie very stilll & keep quiet, he might
get overlooked or tossed back into the murky waters he came from as too puny
to consume.

But instead he advertises his distress and makes it worse by every turn.

Civility is fine, but not at the expense of giving free bandwidth to
imposture and lies.

And indeed Leo is one of the most civilised among us, far superior to me
(and most others) in good nature, diligence and generosity.

It's gratifying that Merilyn has spoken up against the ridiculous suggestion
that we are in league to combat Richardson or anyone else. To borrow a
splendid phrase from Australia's last outstanding prime minister, our
critics have shown themselves to be "all tip and no iceberg".
