Braswell: HOW DARE YOU!!

[Guest guest]

This flaming attack on is absolutely uncalled for! You cite love and

winners, but your screaming, yes that's what those caps are, is anything but

loving. I was not in the least embarassed to see my name in lights. Just

curious given that my keyboard was recently down for a number of days. If

people cannot understand why quickie one-liners that offer no coherent

information to anyone should be private, then something is seriously wrong. I

watched the FM support group turn into a completely useless forum for support

or anything else because of the lack of understanding and kind of reply that

you just posted. It is called a flame. I've only been here a few weeks and

was really pleased with being in a flame-free zone. I was also really pleased

that it was running a good 70-80% medically relevant information with only

about 20-30% being trivia. I like the jokes as much as anyone and want them

to stay. The one-liners that have no meaning to me at all I'd prefer to go

private. But no matter how I feel, your attack on is the kind of poor

nettiquette that should be squelched pronto. You haven't a clue how bad a

private forum like this gets when the figures for relevant to irrellevant

posts get reversed. To nip it in the bud when there are few of us is a really

good plan. Otherwise one day down the road you are going to have this

wonderful private forum with 300 messages a day, 275 of which will be of no

use whatsoever in combatting these dreadful diseases we are all fighting.

Nobody, not even I imagine, is against love or winning or support. We

are, however, concerned with getting so out of balance that the forum becomes

absolutely useless to anyone.

Sincerely,

Jan K
