David I know who I am and I know who "Gypsy" is, we are NOT one and the same person. This is what I am trying to get through to you. "Gypsy" is an incredibly well educated lady and in fact, works in a very highly paid position in the medical field. I am not saying that I am not educated, I am and I know when I am being called a liar on your website. It is not the fact that Rosealeigh ("gypsy") and I write in the same way, we don't. I am a very experienced typist, I have been typing since I was 10 years of age and now that I am well and truly on the wrong side of 40, then I have had many, many years of typing experience behind me. I have my own business where I make cards, invitations and stationery, so I have to be able to type well. Rosealeigh is also an accomplished typist, she is responsible for the production of high quality medical reports, so because both she and I have a good typing manner is no excuse to accuse us of being one and the same. As for "gypsy" voting for the same venues as I do, she has only been to one venue - The Band Club!!! Maybe she just goes in and clicks on any show that she likes the name of, how in the hell would I know what she votes for??!!! From what I read of what she wrote on the webiste, she was going to try it first before becoming a subscriber, what is wrong with that??? I did it and then became a subscriber. I am not interested any more. I have absolutely had it with the absolute shit being put on me. If you think that I am pissed off with this whole scene David, then you are right!!! The thing that I am sick of on the website is the pen names being used. People won't come clean with who they are. I know who are few of them are, it hasn't been hard to figure it out and "Mic Rophone" in reality is supposedly a good friend of mine!! What a load of crap!! This person has not yet figured out that I know who they are!!! Fozzie Bare I know well, he was at my wedding!! "Red" and "A song from my heart" both go to the same karaoke show as me, so I know who they are. What is wrong with people coming clean on who they are, are they afraid of the repercussions??? I have always been totally honest as to who I am, I have never used a pen name and have always signed myself as "Roz". So how on earth this forum has gotten the idea that I am "gypsy" just because I am kind enough to allow her to use my computer, is way beyond me. I have had enough of people putting shit on me because I support my husband when he is working hard as a host for Karaoke Kapers and I support George Galea's shows. Just because "Mic Rophone" doesn't like George Galea doesn't mean to say that everyone has to dislike George. They will openly support people like Foster and Joan Cosgrove who own and run F.J's Karaoke and the shows that they put on. They will also openly support Chris and Sue Schmidt (I think it is their last name) and their show at Eastern Creek Tavern because they are friends of theirs. But when it comes to a show that Mick does for Karaoke Kapers then they are so down on him because of their hatred of George. People like that are ruining karaoke. You would have seen my article that I wrote for "where2sing" titled "Has the fun gone out of karaoke" - yes the fun HAS gone out of karaoke!! If you want whole hearted support for your website, then you should make people come clean about who they are. People like "Mic Rophone" are brazen cowards because they hide behind a pseudonym. If you changed the rules on the website and made people come clean with their real names, then you would find out who the genuine people are and who are the false ones. I will talk to Rosealeigh when next I see her and find out if she wants to keep subscribing to your website. She can make here own decisions and can go into it for herself and have a look at what was written accusing me of being her. She can make her own comments if she wants to. I can't speak for her, she may well continue and end up subscribing, she is out today looking for her own computer, she will make her own decision on it. What do I want you to do? I want you to go into the website and delete EVERYTHING that has my name on it, that goes for past comments on the chat forums, both general and "ask David". I don't want to be associated in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM with "Where2sing". If Rosealeigh wants to keep writing her opinions on places that she goes to, then that is fine with me, she can do what she likes. As for me, well this is it, goodbye and good luck. I don't want any more e-mails, I want nothing to do with where2sing.

I cannot understand your complaint about the site. It looks as though you and Gypsy are using the same account, and that is why you are both shown as the same identity on the forums. As you mention that Gypsy and you are indeed living in the same place and using the same computer, this is hardly surprising...lol. If Gypsy wants to be a separate identity, she will need to start her own Sign In and make sure that neither of you is automatically Signed In as the other person. I don't see anyone being unfair to you, but I do see you being rather feisty with other people - I'd go as far as to say you bring everything down on your own head and have no one other than yourself to blame. There are only 'identities' in the Internet, not actual people, and the requirement to Sign In keeps it a heck more 'honest' than most other sites. I believe that 'All Ban' for breakfast also does help... But, as you wish, I have now de-activated your email addresses on the website - bear in mind that this denies you access, and that you will need to email me if you desire to gain access again.
