They are cuss words from my side of the tracks. All jokes aside Colleen I realize you meant well in your actions. I just think you need to re-think getting involved in personal battles that take place. Newsgroups conversations cannot be reined in by anyone. People that post have to be allowed to share their personality traits and they will share them whether allowed or not. You nor I may agree with them but in order for a group to flourish and grow it must take place. I realize that conflict can cause some people to be unresponsive but without conflicts we wouldn’t learn many things about other people and sites online to help guide us about what is right and what is wrong to get involved in. Many times these conflicts show us the truth about a person or a site. I hope that you and I can symbolically shake hands and continue to communicate here in the newsgroup. Now a little about me. I have been a part of the online community and the arthritis newsgroup for some time. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for a long time. I was only recently diagnosed with MS and then only 24 hours later after seeing a rheumatologist was told I additionally have scleroderma. At this time they are uncertain of its form. This is what brought me first to the internet in search of information about scleroderma. I found Sherry’s FANTASTIC site and joined the digest and I am just in awe of the work she does and in even more awe of the compassion and amount of information that is shared through this mailing list. I strongly urge people to contact Sherry about joining this list. From Sherry’s site I found the scleroderma foundation and paid my dues. I found Shelley’s site from the search engines and from her site found the SDWorld. I won’t go over my perceptions of the dot org again. I’m sure that pleases many here. Through Sherry’s site I found Amie’s site and have sat for hours reading stories. Through Amie’s site I found this newsgroup and began reading. So here I am. I think you all can fill in the remaining history. Smiles

Response:
Colleen, I greatly appreciate your effort at "diffusing" the situation, but this is not a "moderated board" and the discussion going on here is perfectly within the traditions and uses of newsgroups, and especially of alt.* newsgroups. I suggest that if you prefer not to engage in this lengthy and somewhat heated discussion that you avoid the threads containing it. I am adopting this same plan myself. May I ask that those who are resolved to continue their debate be specific about their subject lines? Those of us unwilling to engage in this debate will gladly steer around you in search of something else. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Richard Schiehl wrote in message <37F3BE34.80262…@gulftel.com>… > I can take the heat and yes I was trying to diffuse the situation. >MY POINT IS IF ANYONE NEEDS TO CONTINUE THIS DO SO ELSEWHERE. >No Annie, I am not naive by any means, I give people the benefit of the >doubt instead of jumping to conclusions first.

I can take the heat and yes I was trying to diffuse the situation. MY POINT IS IF ANYONE NEEDS TO CONTINUE THIS DO SO ELSEWHERE. No Annie, I am not naive by any means, I give people the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping to conclusions first. Shelley did go off in some other field. And if you read my messages right, I stated you were not at fault. As far as my usage of American slang…I call a spade a spade and there is no other word for it. Susan/Sherry/Jaimes your e-mails came through, thanks.

Thank you Amie. I really can feel the network at play in yours, Sherry’s and most of the sites online. The key to providing support is for everyone to work together. Smiles Apple Annie ***To reply remove "nospam" from my address***

That is hard to do. It is hard not to respond when someone is being a nasty person publically. Especially when it is trying to be insinuated that it is your fault. >No Annie, I am not naive by any means, I give people the benefit of the >doubt instead of jumping to conclusions first.

I did read you say that to me. But Jaimes did not deserve what you said to her. >As far as my usage of American slang…I call a spade a spade and there >is no other word for it.
There are words to describe a spade that are not considered cuss words. Besides Jaimes is not the SPADE here. I think it is obvious that Shelley Ensz has no intention to make this right so I am taking her off my christmas list. If she rears her head and I think she is not being on the up and up you can bet your bloomers I’ll respond. Smiles Apple Annie ***To reply remove "nospam" from my address***
