Rick Hermann <[log in to unmask]> cried: "I don't think the people on this list (at least not this one) need someone out in the ozone answering their questions on how to live with Parkinson's. My vision of the list is that we're all in this together." This really gets my anger going! Mr. Hermann, whoever you are, do you realize the good that Sandra Norris has done for the PWP community? If, as you say, "...that we're all in this together," then why don't YOU act like it! She was expressing her feelings, something we all share. You are wrong. People on this list DO need someone answering their questions. That's exactly what this list is for. It is NOT here so you and others like you can build your own egos by putting other people down. First the "Shut UP!" by a misdirected soul, now this? The last little tiff about jokes almost killed this list. Telling people to "shut up" and calling others "out in the ozone" can be the effective death of what was once a wonderful collection of warm, sincere PWP's who were here to help others. Not anymore. The post have dwindled to nothing, the feeling level is zip and now its come to the point that no one seems to care. Damn, this makes me sick. Rick, you own Sandra an apology. She is a perfect example of a community oriented, outward reaching PWP. She actually HELPS people, something I haven't seen you do. In fact, you own ALL OF US an apology. That was flat out WRONG. Or maybe not. Maybe your idea of fun is to destroy this list. Is that it? If that's the case then - good job. You should be, and probably are, proud of yourself. (The next three paragraphs have been deleted. I think by now everyone gets my drift.)
