, " they " are the newbies, people who have had little or no experience

with diabetes. When given information that is not correct, it is damaging to

their learning process. This is what I referred to as being a stumbling block.

Marilyn, who are " they " ? The name

of this group includes the word

" international " - why do you persist

in pushing US methods, US manners

US recipes (using US ingredients),

US politics and US religion at us

as if we were all the same and all

in agreement with you? Don't you

have just a little tolerance for

opinions other than your own?

, to be honest, I can't see a problem here. If you do not wish to read

those posts that seem to upset you, why don't you just hit delete? That is

what anyone should do if a post is contrary to their belief, unless it is

something that is incorrect and that could cause problems for another member.

No, of course it hasn't - this is

the place to debate diabetes, not

a cooking group or a place for

political and religious activists!

Don't you think that perhaps it

would be more appropriate, Marilyn,

if you would take your recipes,

politics and religion off this

diabetes list, my dear, or at least

tone them down a little instead of

trying to shout everybody else down

and dictate other people's " thought

patterns " ?

I have no intention of shout everybody else down or dictate others thought

patterns. It is not I that seems to be eager for a showdown. I just wish to

point out when I see something contrary to what is taught. I noticed that

others also saw the inaccuracies.

I see that you are out to be

quarrelsome so I will back off

until the list owner clarifies who

it is that sets the tone here.

This were your words , not mine. I would like to have seen you put your

name here, rather than make it look like I have a problem. Marilyn

I don't understand why you are trying

to pass yourself off as moderator,

Marilyn, and trying to moderate this

list. This signature is totally

misleading. Only one person has been

introduced here as moderator and it

wasn't you.
