Just returned from a week's vacation, and read this. I'm shocked, surprised, and MAD! Ms. Proctor, Do you realize the damage you have done to this great site? Apparently you don't or you would never have made such a "dumb" thing. Your actions have and will hurt the site much more than anything Traci did or could do. Traci has spent countless hours and (HER) money helping the site become the best for upstate research. What you did was mean, dirty and just plain underhanded! I too think YOU should be removed as state coordinator! I am a contributor to the site and also do transcriptions like alot of people. I am informing you that "anything" that has my name on it WILL NOT be allowed to stay on the site. It will be removed. YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO USE ANY OF MY INFORMATION -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SCPICKENS] Pickens and Newberry Co websites Ms. Proctor: I was very disappointed to see that you took the Pickens and Newberry County websites away from Traci Parsons-Holder. I think that it was a mean and nasty thing to do. Traci has done an outstanding job as the county coordinator for these two counties. She has spent countless hours and money to make the pages as informative as possible. She also has enlisted the aid of many researchers to do transcriptions for the site. Most of the materials to be transcribed were purchased with her own money. She also made trips to SC to scan materials and photograph headstones. The banners were put in place for a reason: to preserve the cemeteries. I would think that you would commend her for trying to protect the cemeteries of our families. My roots run deep in Pickens County, SC and the surrounding areas. I am also beginning research into Newberry County, SC. You blatantly disregarded all rules of etiquette by not informing Traci of your decision to remove her as county coordinator. To go behind her back and contact rootsweb in order to gain these sites is an unforgivable sin. Personally, I think YOU should be removed as state coordinator. Everyone who has contributed to the site is going to be very angry about this. I know I am. I am a contributor to the site and also do transcriptions for the site. Anything that has my name on it WILL NOT be allowed on your site. I sent materials to Traci to be put on the site for the express reason of helping to make Pickens County the best site on the web. Under Traci's coordinatorship, it was beginning to be the best. Now, you have undone all that good work that Traci and all the others have done. I, for one, will not be accessing either one of the county websites. I will also advise everyone that I know that does research in these two counties not to either. Also, I will be contacting the USGenweb to remove any of my information that may stray onto your site. If it does show up on there, I will seek legal action. You do not have my permission to use any of my information. Patricia A.
