Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Yes, I still want to unsubscribe to this list serve. I thought it was interesting that the ones that had already written requesting to unsubscribe had to yet again be the ones to write to verify unsubscribing. Maybe the other way around would have been a small way to apologize for the inconvenience of hundreds of emails? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Dear , I too agree with many of the others who have expressed gratitude at what you are doing. You have irritated people, and that is GOOD, these people need to know there are people like you, me and many others out there that are plain tired of being spoon fed only what THEY allow us to have. We want more, and I say how many of them that are complaining would complain if they were in our shoes? IF they were in our shoes, then THEY would understand where you are coming from and be glad to engage in dialogue and helping to enact change just as you are trying to do. THEY would be screaming bloody murder if THEIR kids or loved ones were NOT getting needed therapies, but then hey maybe those people who are WHINING might be the kinds of people who are only in their profession for the great pay an benefits, and really wouldn't care about whether their kids or loved ones were doing without. Maybe just maybe, I do know that there are STILL good, helpful people in this world, not everyone is a stuffy shirt, keep digging, we will get there with or without them. I am on your side.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 unsubscribed please [ ] An apology Dear list members, Yesterday was a busy day for me. I unsubscribed about 150 mostly angry people that I had subscribed to the list without their permission. These unsuspecting subscribers included every director of special education from all 50 states, the president and board of directors of United Cerebral Palsy--plus all 150 or so UCP chapters from across the country. Other subscribers included various members of disability advocacy groups. Still other subscribers included the day-to-day administrative personnel of HCFA/CMS--the folks that are making the decisions and pulling the trigger on what services are allowed and disallowed. I had also subscribed staff members of the national Brain Injury Association--plus their individual state offices. Base subscribers included influential members within the hierarchy of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, the controlling entity of Hyperbaric Medicine. What I had hoped to accomplish with this gathering is a place where we could exercise our freedom of assembly, a place where we could talk and share and discuss and debate and finally reach some sort of concensus on the incredible, life-changing, society-changing treatment known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Instead we shut down . Can we try again? If you still want to remain subscribed don't do anything. If you want to unsubscribe, write to me directly--not the group--and I'll unsubscribe you. mailto:dfreels@...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Katrina, you write " We would have done this research within little people of our country, but only about 20 of them are members of the group which is trying to gather them together. " What country and school do you attend? You still haven't answered questions we have of you. Barbara An apology It appears that our questions made a lot of you feel angry and insulted. So, I would like to apologize for making you feel this way. You all say we should have told you from the start exactly who we are and what is the purpose of our study. The truth is that we never meant to do any harm or to make you feel like you're just some experiment subjects. Since we come from a small country in Europe, we were warned by our mentor from her own experience not to tell our residence if not necessary, since a lot of people don't take you seriously if you come from a small country they might have never heard of, so this makes our research a lot more difficult. Since our first spoken language isn't English, we might have expressed our selves awkwardly or in the way that wasn't right. We are sorry for that. Some of you were worried about the content of the questions we asked you: these are standard questionnaires which were written mostly by American researchers to use on everyday people and must be used in our research since they have already been tested and found valid. I would agree that some of them might be offensive but due to their integrity (I shore hope this the right word for what I meant to say J) we mustn't let anything out. And most important, please don't think we are not aware of you all being individuals with your own identities. We wrote " one of the little people " just to make shore we got to the persons we intended to, not because we would think you're just " some people " . So, again please accept our apology. It's important for us to get this information since us finishing this college year might depend on it. But to me personally (it's Katarina who is writing this message) it is also important that you understand, we meant no harm and that with this research no harm will be done to little people as well. We would have done this research within little people of our country, but only about 20 of them are members of the group which is trying to gather them together. I hope this made things a little clearer. Thank you if you perhaps decide to respond anyway. If not, thank you for at least listening instead. Since, this is the last day of 2005, I wish you all a Happy New Year 2006, full of God's blessing and loving bonds with all around you. Please forgive me for all the lexical and grammatical mistakes I might have made. Have a nice day J ! Katarina --------------------------------- for Good - Make a difference this year.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 You say you come from a small country in Europe, but apparently it is not this countries custom to first introduce oneself properly before trying to intimately interrogate a small minority of people in other countries. Whatever country it is you come from, it would appear that you feel you have the God Given Right to ask the most intimate of questions. As Barbara said, even with your long apology, you have still not introduced yourselves properly, explained the course you are on, explained the hoped for outcome of this intrusive cack-handed survey you have contrived, taken into account the fact that members of this group begin from a very early age, nor sought to placate the worry of those you appeal to. Maybe you should construct a similarly intrusive, interigational questionaire about yourselves, and supply the answers at the same time. Then you may, just may, find that people understand you and your motives that little bit better. Cheers Fred, who, for all he hates questionaires, did attempt to fill it in.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Now I'm insulted! I wanted to be offended! lol But see it only goes to show that as a few of us were (possibly) mistaken by your original post and its intent, and conversely then you felt you were mistakenly misunderstood by those same few and their initial reaction to it. So we may need to apologize too? Because in as much as you (may) come from a small country, you may need to forgive the few of us on here who also come from a small country. Well, if they don't actually live there, they tend to visit 'there' a lot:P. It's called the land of Assumptia, which ironically may be next to your small country? So, can we all move on and just ask the questions?! Grady pondering to himself, " What were the questions anyway?! " :\ Katarina, email me the questions privately and don't worry I'll even correct your lexical and grammatical errors for ya:P. > > It appears that our questions made a lot of you feel angry and insulted.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi Russ, I had to apologize last summer. Glad I am not the only one needing to apologize for something. You add so many great things to the group. Kindest of regards Aletha [low dose naltrexone] An apology Hi LDN Gang ,I would like to apologize to any that I have offended by posting an off-subject theological article into this LDN forum. As has been pointed out to me privately, my doing so was inappropriate. I ask your forgiveness. Respectfully and with hugs Russ : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
