Hey Y'all, I'm confused. Has Deborah actually been removed from the list? I thought the comments made by John were simply about the topic of Chiari, not about Deborah being blacklisted. Some things said were unfortunately somewhat less than sympathetic, we all have foot in mouth days though. If you have to have PD to be on this list...........I don't belong. I'm simply somebody who has worked with several people with PD, and similar symptoms. Can someone make clear what has actually taken place before it ends up spiralling out of control?

I am truly amazed that Deborah was removed from this list and that her circumstances were equated to a "soap opera." It is hard enough that many of the people around us don't understand what it's like to have PD or one of the look-alike syndromes. On Friday, a number of local teachers ganged up on a their arbitrator (the teachers are in the midst of contract negotiations); they accused this man of being a coward when he left at the end of the day because he was shaking. He tried to tell them that he had PD, but it took until the next day before they found out that the man had PD and that they finally apologized to him for their behaviour. These are teachers with Bachelors and Masters degrees, people who are supposed to helping to keep bullying out of the classroom. To see this similar type of pettiness on this list makes me very sad. Isn't this supposed to be a place where we can receive some mutual support and educate one another? IMO, Deborah should be returned to active status on the list (if she is so inclined) and she should receive an apology for what was said about her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
