Re: Re: Breach? consequences

[Guest guest]

Is there any chance PSC can benefit from this breach? Maybe a cash donation from the magazine to apologize, or some publicity about this group and our goals would help? Also a mention about the conference in Denver would be nice. At the least a published acknowledgement of the situation and increased efforts, by the magazine, to require writers to prove they have permission from individuals to publish their remarks.

When we have been given lemons I'm sure we can find a way to get some lemonade.

No one is going to pay us in anyway, shape or form for an article published 4 years ago that many of us have known about for quite some time.

I have the right to feel the way I do, and have the concerns I have about it happening in the future. Nothing is going to change that. I'm not going to apologize for the way I feel -- thank God I don't have to. God gave me the right to think for myself and a strong sense of what is right and wrong. I, as a writer, would never be so careless, unethical, or unsympathetic to someone else's feelings and concerns.

Y’all are going

way overboard on this one. The article

was written in 2003, four years ago! There is no way to prove there was a

breach, especially since the author had permission from many (if not all) who

were quoted in it. The author C.E. Pelc

was/is a freelance writer, she has written a lot of articles for a lot of

different publications. She also

writes movie & music reviews. She

currently is on the staff of a parenthood magazine and writes about disabled

children & teens, being a single parent, traveling with kids etc. No one is going to pay us in anyway, shape or form for an article published 4 years ago that many

of us have known about for quite some time.

Sure you do, no one said you shouldn’t.

I was just saying the magazine won’t face any consequences. Everything on the web is public domain. Remember a woman in our group who said

she as going to write a book? She

worked in a lawyers office. (I think her name was Janet??) She was pulling quotes and stories from

all of us - with permission. There

have been several others. There

really isn’t anything we can do about it, except be careful of what we

say.

I understand all of the differing viewpoints that have been mentioned here.

Perhaps there could be a change made that would at least share an opinion about

the " policy " (said loosely) of this group. I do not remember what goes out when

someone signs up, so this may already be in place; but a statement about

confidentiality should be included. Also, I notice that at the end of emails

there is a Yahoo logo etc. added, if we have any input to that we could add a

line about confidentiality.

The internet has brought up more questions that anyone imagined, and the

confidentiality of a " public " forum is certainly one of them. I am glad that

this issue has been raised as I will remember this as I post things about

Suzanne. Thank you .
