This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BF.2ADIAE/1211 Message Board Post: I have some people who are having an internet vendetta. "Author" has written a family surname book and is trying to prevent other family researchers from posting anything about the family and claiming copyright violations. Several other family members are posting genealogical information to the boards which "Author" responds to with a nasty post of her own then lodges complaints to the board administrator (me) and Rootsweb. I am getting complaints from both sides of the issue and I don't want to choose sides since I have no idea who is right or wrong so I have been deleting both posts. I hate to do this since the genealogical information is probably valuable to many people but if I don't handle the situation quickly it will escalate. These folks have been flaming each other for months now on the surname boards and have now carried it over to one of the county boards that I administer. I would appreciate any advice!
