Recently a cluster of genealogy hacks went on a rampage to attack my posting many of Holy Trinity Cemetery's LOST burial records at Find-a-Grave; I used alternative sources, and the complaint to Find-a-Grave was that my sources do not mention the cemetery. Admin. threats followed that these memorials would be changed to "burial unknown". But those whiners, who have more ambition than research skill, were wrong.
Then an Admin. demanded I reveal specific sources used for my transcription of church registers. Who does this? And imagine any LDS or FHL employee NOT knowing how to check for sources?
A new tack followed, concerning my helpful research leads into Milwaukee's German newspapers: "Stop forcing volunteers to use your index at the library." Those valuable leads don't satisfy today's demand for instant gratification taught by the Ancestry retail site. Or maybe standard look-up requests were refused by MPL, or lacking, or both? It's easy to request a look-up in a specific resource when a name and death date are supplied. 😏
One Find-a-Grave subscriber demanded I post clippings & citations at Ancestry for her to copy. 😂
My effort to post the bulk of lost records for Holy Trinity Cemetery - from its founding through 1909 - is largely complete. That was accomplished just in time before a Find-a-Grave administrator vindictively terminated my access to my account there. 😇
