"I would be saddened to see this list
disappear because of a few antagonistic people."

Just for the record, I don't think anyone is trying to be
antagonistic. I think that we all filter things through our life
experiences and expectations.
Ah, EXPECTATIONS...mess ya up everytime.:)

If we can accept that what it is, it IS.
Acceptance helps us navigate discussions,changes, growth and LIFE in
such a healthier manner. I find that when something aggravates me, I'm
either filtering it through perceptions (that aren't necessarily the
truth) and/or doesn't match my expectations.

If something at the list is confusing, or not making sense, by all
means ASK. If an idea or philosophy isn't holding up to your life
experience, then state that and ask questions.

This list is certainly not the end-all-be-all of unschooling
information. It's one resource for everyone to use in their own way.

And it's not going anywhere. Kelly and I can vent with each other, but
fortunately one of us is usually more calm than the other when it
happens. In my lesser moments I think that charging people for phone
or email consultation sounds GREAT! I figure if my advice is worth the
screen it's typed on, someone will pay for it eh???

Yeah, then I realize that I enjoy being aggravated to some
degree...because it helps my debate skills, causes me to think hard
about how to explain something and challenges my dedication to a Zen
Buddhist philosophy of living. :)

Ren, living and learning here every day....
