A friend of mine once told me that she would be forever grateful to Sandra
because one time when this friend was being mercilessly attacked in a forum
we used to frequent, Sandra (who I don't think knew my friend all that well
at that time, but who I've always always found to have a very good sense of
what is what) calmly said, "Stop being hateful to (my friend)."

So, I'll be a karmic designated hitter here and say, for my friend who would
if she were here:

Stop being hateful to Sandra.

If you are frustrated, go buy a punching bag, but don't use the "safety" of
cyberspace to personally attack someone on this list, please. That is not
what it's here for.

When you ask in public for people's ideas and help, it is helpful to learn
to deal gracefully with what comes your way and discard what won't work and
keep the rest. Neither you nor any of us get to pick who answers the
questions in a public forum.

It isn't kind, useful, acceptable, or polite to disrupt the list with
personal attacks on another member.

*****Sandra just took an opportunity to take a pot
shot at me.. Like she does every time she finds a tender spot. She wants to
always get the last word in and she aims lower every time she punches.
Folks continually tell me to ignore her advice. And I say again, why dont
she ignore my posts? Uhhh, let me see, her kids are perfect, so what in
the world can she offer in the way of advice to folks who have special needs
kids? Can't she just at least sit one out? Maybe let some folks who
really
know what they are talking about offer some REAL support, advice and
suggestions. *****
