Rita,
You are way off base here. I never said shut-up, I asked for
you to either run around your house ranting or to send it privately.
I don't believe I was making an attack on anyone, nor was I being
hurtful. I was politely asking to not send it to the state list. I
can't and won't speak for everyone else on the list, but personally
for me, this list has been truly 100% better since the nastiness
stopped. Personally, I think Jan should have e-mailed Mari privately
if she felt attacked. I still don't understand any of Jan's e-mails
today at all. I have tried and tried to find a nastiness in Mari's
e-mail to the list and in the end, all I found was a concern being
brought to the list, something the list is for.
I want to add one more thing, Jan may have looked for
someone to protect her. I am not sure, but it didn't appear to me
that anyone was running to protect her and by her private e-mails to
you, it certainly didn't appear that she needed to be protected from anyone.
You can check my last e-mail, I never said, nor did I intend
to tell anyone to shut up, I was simply making a suggestion. I am not
the person who can or can't tell you what to do, that would be either
Tina or MAK. I would never be bold enough to step on their authority.
I am done hashing this out, I am sorry if you misunderstood my letter,
Debie Blindauer

OK Debie,
If we are going to ask everyone to set limits, let's ask Jan to also do that.
As I said, it has been a very long time since I have said anything except to
encourage, inform and support others on this list. Check the list archives id
you doubt my word. I am tied of being told to shut up. I think Jan needs to
stop crying for other to "protect" her.
