ArchivesRe: There is a clear instruction about searching first on the posting screen. . .
in reply to a message by raindancing
Did it never occur to you all that many of the people who are posting questions about names in the database are probably themselves children? This is not an adult site and a lot of people who post on names sites are kids. Do you really think it is appropriate to insult someone who may very well be 8 or 9 years old for not following that instruction the very first time they post a question on this board?
Please remember that I did not say such people should not be corrected. I just said they shouldn't be insulted. Most of the time I find the way people are corrected about this to be perfectly polite and proper. This was an exception, and I don't care how long Anneza has been posting to the board -- and I'm perfectly willing to believe she was having a bad day and is not generally a rude person -- but I stand by my opinion that that particular comment was outrageous.
