Janet, thank you for making that known. I did look at Mr. Boots site and thought what is he complaining about for heavens sake.? I said I would not mention pigs again and this is the second time I changed my mind. I loved reading it. Laughter is good for the soul. This time I will promise again not to mention them. Thank You again.Nita ps. please everyone get those nails out of the coffins. janet paterson wrote: > hi all > > my, my, my, isn't this a fun day? > > if any newbies are wondering what in heck is going on here > i think this is just a little growing pain > that the list has to go through > once in awhile > > in re my postings "you are cordially invited..." > as well as any messages about list-mom-owner issues: > my words spoke and speak for both barb patterson and me > > in re carole hercun's receipt and public posting > of a private message to her from an ex-list member david boots > "trying to understand" > a little background info needs to be aired > to clear up a lot of apparent mis-apprehensions > about david and his history here > > david was a list-member for a couple of years > he did not leave the list voluntarily > > he was removed from the list > due to his habit of sending similar private messages to other list-members > some of whom were so upset by these invasions > that they left the list > and have not returned > > i think it is sad > that david still seems to feel the need > to send unwelcome and uninvited email messages > to listmembers > > i think it is tragic > that his skill with words has been used to such ends > > he has written to barb patterson > offering to 'take over' running the list for her > a couple of times when a list kefuffle has cropped up in the past > > so i have to wonder > at his motive for the recent 'attacks' [because that's what they are] > > and i have to wonder > at his motive for 'watching' the list at john cottingham's website > > let's not let the pig/humour discussion > get in the way of what's really happened here > > the pigs represent laughter, joy, silliness, fantasy, and above all, hope > [pennies for parkinson's / pig-cell implants / pd + fun ] > and by attacking and manipulating that issue from afar > david has displayed his wordskill once more > > might i suggest removing the nails from the coffins? > > if any member of this list > attacks, harasses or 'flames' another member of this list > please be assured that the attacker will be summarily booted off the list > and the internet service provider serving the offending list member > will be informed of their offensive behaviour > > if any member of this list > receives unwelcome and offensive email from any other member of this list > please bring it to the list's attention, as carole hercun did; > such attacks are the acts of a coward; > dealing with them in secret only works to a coward's advantage; > any attackee will have our staunch support > both publicly and privately > > in accordance with the above > i have written to sonic.net expressing our concern > > now, > can we get back to sharing and crying and laughing and complaining > about real issues? > > with love > > janet > PIEnet list-mom > > 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]>
