hi again charlotte

oh, the agony contained in those little words "if.." and "then..."!

for your info,
the topics capability of listserv is no longer in use
due to lack of interest from the majority of the list-members
[i.e. maybe 4% of the members participated]

many of us do not have [or require] any filter capability other than the delete key

my 'suffering' is a function of my own brain and my own thoughts
as i respond to what i see around me

no one else and no thing else can 'make' me suffer or 'cause' me suffering
regardless of whether such 'suffering' is silent or not

>intolerant. I don't feel my post deserved that response....

i'm sorry you feel that way
no 'accusation' as such was intended;
tolerating other members' viewpoints and opinions
[your opinion of mine and my opinion of yours] in my humble opinion,
seems to be the hallmark, if not backbone, of a 'successful' support group
where sharing can take place freely and without fear of censorship

we cannot change the behaviour of others
you can't change mine
i can't change yours

(even more astonishing [to me, at least]
i am finding that i cannot judge anyone else either)

the only thing we can change
is how we perceive the behaviour of others

your perception of me may cause you stress
or not;
it is your choice

my perception of you may cause me stress
or not;
it is my choice


yours in peace and love
