Thanks for your response, Sigismund -- I was wondering how many days would go by before someone responded ... I'm used to discussion lists where the conversation flows a bit more freely, in every sense of the word...
There does seem to be a sense of inequity here -- as if some are tolerated better than others are. I've never understood it, quite honestly. I can conform to it, if necessary, but I don't believe that true growth flourishes where people are squelched.
I'd like for Lou to be able to resume whatever he wants to say next -- I see that people have the choice to read, or delete, whatever comes their way.
It seems to me that people should feel free to share their experiences, uncensored, in an atmosphere of mutual respect, honesty, and maturity.
I personally don't do well in a punitive environment, but I try to be accommodating, so that I can hear what Lou has to say, and I'm putting forth a plea for him to be as honored and tolerated as the rest of us would like to be ourselves.
Shalom, Dena
