OK, I've seen enough personal attacks on others now. We've got

members going through a lot and needing support right now,

I’m pretty upset

- now. Wasn’t too much before, had a fake

smile on my face and used humor everywhere I could. & I have been called immoral,

ignorant thieves, who only care about ourselves for a day and a half - and now

you decide to step in and protect her.

And you did so by attacking someone else for their opinion! Good grief athan. By the way, if I was such an evil thief,

where have you been for the last 8 years?

You talk about someone needing support, where were you when she attack

us?

OK deep breath Barb,

deep breath…….OK I got it off my too small chest.

Suffice it to say that my message was meant for *everyone* who has made

a personal attack. I've seen a number (and I'm getting in on this late

because I was busy all day yesterday so don't assume I'm only talking

about people who have posted in the last few hours). It's also a mistake

to assume that everything I've had to say to people on this issue has

been said on this board.

You read too much into my message! Now please, calm down everyone!

In her response to , Dawn made the following

remark: " Just because we either suffer from PSC or love someone who

does, does not give us the right to steal from another group of

people. "

So besides not appreciating and/or acknowledging the distinction

between illegally copying and using, say, software or DVDs on the

one hand, and providing access to scientific/medical literature on

the other hand, as this PSC support group has been doing now for

many years, with no complaints or issues being raised by anyone of

any consequence, she compounded her impudence by accusing some very

dedicated, hard working people of stealing.

So I think it's understandable that some here might have gotten a

bit irritated with Dawn.

I understand that. I've dealt with it both on and off the group. Can

we please move on now?
