Pris

*THANK YOU, Brynn* ... I've seriously considered UNSUB due to the VERY
things you stated last night ... thanks for saying what I'm sure a LOT of
the other mbs are thinking, as well ... its very pathetic situation when a
FEW self-centered people feel they can CONSTANTLY run roughshod over their
fellow loop mbs w/ rude,
inconsiderate and narrow-minded posts and RUIN a perfectly informative loop
for everyone else ... as a newbie UNschooler, I joined this list for SUPPORT
not ARGUING ... *eeegads*, if I want arguing, I can just call my mil for
*THAT*!!! <NO LOL>

it's easy to hide behind the anonymity of a computer monitor when taking pot
shots, criticizing and picking @ others just b/c they DON'T SHARE *YOUR*
PHILOSOPHY ABOUT LIFE!!! ... ha, chances are I DOUBT these *FEW* would have
the nerve to speak in this manner if we were chatting fact to face; sort of
*BRATTY* don't you think???

my reaction to all of this *MONITOR RAGE* is similar to how I feel when
hearing of *yet* another ROAD RAGE incident; total disgust!!! basically
*SANE* people hiding behind their computer monitors like those who involve
themselves in road rage *hide* behind their cars ... it's SO RIDICULOUS!!!
ha ...

Pris ~> who'z in complete agreement w/ you, Brynn AND WHO'Z EVER SO GRATEFUL
FOR HER DELETE BUTTON!!!
