To NCGenWeb CCs

An open letter to the NCGenWeb CCs: Mary White said...

I have received two comments so far. The first from Derick Hartshorn who believes Daryl Lytton doesn't have the "kahunas" to address the NCGenWeb CCs himself, and therefore Mary White must be Daryl.

In one paragraph Derick states in reference to my Blog post, "Daryl's characterizations of me are figments of his fertile and unbalanced imagination." Yet in the next paragraph admits, "Some statements made in the below
letter [blog post] were known between Daryl and myself...."

Always good at putting his foot in his mouth, if the statements were imaginary how could they be known to exist in reality?

The second comment is from the NCGenWeb-Discuss list. Derick accuses Daryl of lacking "kahunas" and then attacks Daryl on the list, knowing that Daryl is not subscribed to that list. It must indeed take "kahunas" to make personal attacks on a list the attacked can't reply to.

Derick hasn't changed much since the January, 2003 motion made by an USGenWeb Advisory Board member to declard Derick an Member Not In Good Standing. One of the reasons was because Derick harassed CCs on lists the CCs were not subscribed to. As it reads in the mothin, "his slander of Project CC's on those lists, most of which the CC's were not subscribed and ... and no form of defense against his actions."

It's almost hard to believe that in this day & age of ME ME ME, there is someone like you who actually cares enough about others to stick your neck out for them.

The response from Mr. H. is typical of the slime that flows from some leaders in NCGenWeb. Nola has been screaming ALIAS! ALIAS! for years. The same goes for Mr. H.
When that ALIAS! claim fails to impress anyone they resort to claiming that if they are not the same people using differnt names, then they are being controlled by the others. The sad part is, CCs are being kicked out and leaving on their own, making USGenWebs's general membership shrink to a small core of volunteers. The reputation of USGenWeb has generated a smell that few potential volunteers care to endure.

Mary ... sorry, I didn't know that you had already sent your post to the CCs, before I sent them a copy.

Rumor has it that Nola is threatening (again)to sue in a court of law various people if they do not obey her and remove all references to her and NCGenWeb and USGenWeb from the Internet.

The one thing that the USGenweb and NCGenweb dont realize is that they are becoming irrelevant. For 20 bucks you can search Ancestry, Footnote, etc. If you can afford the computer you can pay the fee. The emphasis should be on building a communtity of genealogists using social media, etc. Partnering with local historical societies, archives, universities, etc. Computer space is cheap and many of us know how to maintain servers, etc. An organization who is only worried about silly bylaws has lost its way and will not contribute anything meaningful to genealogy in the long run. These organizations must be full of angry old people with too much time on their hands.
