Rick-- because I shared your concern about Cindi's departure I wrote to her
offlist. In that way I learned that she was in a terribly difficult
situation personally, with many losses duing the past year, and thus very
easily offended and upset. I have replied offlist to her rather unpleasant
letter to me, and given her some additional information she indicated she
needed--also urged her to reconsider the list.
It was unfortunate that she dropped in on PIEN at a time when she was
personally at least as stressed as the members whose exchanges upset her!
Sorry this kind of thing happens--but I don't know how to avoid it, as we
are an open forum with no censor and a place where sometimes we "let it
all hang out".
