This isn't really directed at anyone in particular, but I think some folks here have failed to take into account that this is basically a child they're talking to/about. This kid has been met with mostly hostility here and there is absolutely no need for it. Even some people I genuinely like are getting in on it and I find that really disheartening. I could kind of understand some of the mean-spirited reactions from people her own age (because they're children also), but most of us are adults here! Some have been for decades. How about we act like it? Is it really that difficult to practice some civility?
If you don't like her posts/topics, just skip them. It really is that simple. There's nothing to gain from bullying a child.

Dan (and GF), you are correct.
To try and cure some insomnia last night, I came across some old summer thread involving the child (along with finally noting the 'I Love Queen' respondant in the Q+PR thread............oy frickin vey)
Anyhoo...comments were made. Nothing has changed. So, no more 'bullying' from this end. Trying to ignore is difficult, when almost every thread has a comment, but that's my problem. It's very similar to Mr. Mahler. Took me too long to realize that the 'situation' was just too sad for any more bashing.
If I try to start a Q&A similar to this thread, and any poster makes a similar 'assassin' comment, I still reserve the right to state that it is, shall we say, 'inappropriate'. Then again, the good give-and-take is becoming harder to find here.
Moving on once again.................anyone met the new Mrs. Taylor or slightly familiar with her? Will check in next month for any responses.

The only thing I'd add to Dan C's post which was pretty much perfect is that we have to remember that we're fans of Queen, a timeless and amazing band. If we were fans of Gene Krupa or Ah-ha or something we might get to have the place to the adults, but the fact is that Queen is going to capture the rock and roll souls of kindred spirits as soon as they're old enough to have rock and roll souls. Their opportunities to connect with peers over this music is going to be limited. It's unkind to make life hard for them here, even when it doesn't rise to the inexplicable level of bullying that this did. More than once the contributions of kids here have been great, sometimes on purpose and sometimes by accident. Regardless, there are real people behind the keyboards capable of being affected by what we say and do.

First, both spellings are acceptable. ====================
See?! I told you! Don't be a spelling cop because it might turn out that you're a bad one. I rest my case. ;)
