Dear List, I hope to have an advocacy listserv running very soon. Please keep a look out for the official announcement.

The function of this list should to be disseminate information, dispel inaccurate information and to lend hope and encouragement to all. > > Posting of insults to anyone's beliefs serves no real purpose except to inflate the ego of the one that is putting down another's belief. When Rayilyn Brown uses words like "Flat Earth Thinkers...stalling humane progress" it does not meet her stated objective of "Hoping people will look at this with an open Mind" > > Why insult a person you would hope to share enlightenment with. > > I would urge everyone to share enlightenment, not fuel another's persons equally impassioned belief that may not match yours. Support an argument through respectful logical support of your belief not through disrespectful name calling of those who do not believe the same. > > With all due respect rewrite your article prior to publication. It just may have a better chance of enlightenment. Your audience is not those who believe the same, it is those whom you wish to convince. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
