I agree that private messages should be keep private. We all assume the risk of receiving private correspondence since our e-mail address is there for everyone to see, as it should be. Some of it has been very good that I have received. I have found the best way to respond to attacks is to totally ignore it. I don't give the attacker the satisfaction of a response. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me!" It's his or her problem, not mine. If we have this attitude and don't go on the defensive every time we think someone is messing with the chip on our shoulder (we all have one or two), the world would be a much better place. Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing, but not being very good at debate, they fall back on attacking the other debater. I disagree that if I feel I have been attacked, then I have been attacked. That assumes that I will always interpret the words in the way intended, and all of you know that there are misunderstandings and the same statement can mean one thing to one person and another to another. It also assumes that we are always of sound mind, but I won't go there! > ---------- > From: judith richards[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 10:15 AM > Subject: Re: steeee-rike one / amendment > > -----Original Message----- > From: janet paterson <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Friday, August 06, 1999 10:16 AM > Subject: Re: steeee-rike one / amendment > > > >At 10:02 1999/08/06 -0400, i wrote: > >>hi all > >> > >>one of our members received this > >>uninvited and unsolicited message from another member: > > It seems to me that if the person who received this anonymous > message wanted it posted to the list, s/he would have posted it to the > list. > Keeping a boiling pot bubbling does not necessarily make good soup. > Judith > -- > Judith Richards, London, Ontario, Canada > [log in to unmask] > ^^^^ > \ / > \ | / Today's Research > \\ | // ...Tomorrow's Cure > \ | / > \|/ > ````` > >> > >>--- Anonymous Sender <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >>> It is a shame when old people like yourself pick on > >>> the younger follk. > >>> Your words speak of a bitter, cold, heart. > >>> I only hope you shutt up soon so my PD-digests > >>> aren't filled with more of your posts. > >>> > >>> (No first namee) (No last name) > >> > >> > >>janet > > > > > >the above sender is not a member of this list > >i wonder which PD-digests are meant? > > > >janet > > > >janet paterson > >52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset > >snail-mail: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada > >website: a new voice <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> > >e-mail: <[log in to unmask]> >
