- --When I read the post from Kane/whatever (can't even remember his real name)
- I was appalled that someone would post to this group that way. There are
- others where that type of humor(?) would be appropriate. On the other hand,
- this is an open forum; we are all free to read and post. When someone is
- obnoxious, I just ignore. When I posted about my daughter being in danger
- I received a number of supportive messages and 3 that were dreadful. These
- were to my email account rather than the group. I deleted the dreadful ones
- realizing there's always going to be some smartass with a warped sense of
- humor who thinks other peoples problems are to poke fun at, right!
-
- On the other hand, there are some really caring, helpful people out in email
- land and we should be grateful. Sometimes being so close to a problem gives
- us narrow vision, and other peoples viewpoints/opinons broaden our horizons
- so alternatives become visible.
-
- In otherwords, just ignore the assholes.
