Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I think a book of prints and actual clocks would be cool. Boone would love seeing both, but esp. the real clocks I would bet. I don't feel that it is exploitation at all. Boone loves clocks and you are sharing it with the world. Very cool...JMHO Leggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I think I would sell them and save the money for Boone needs and for her future. I've never thought you are exploiting him. I don't know who told you that, but it's not true. Maybe you can start with the book, and prints. Not selling his actual work. I am pretty open minded and I am sure you would use the money for good causes and not to buy luxuries for yourself, but other people might think that way. You have to think if what those people think matters to you or not. Cecilia from Perú, mom to Dessirée (05/07/99) Lovely husband _____ I've stopped 37 spam messages. You can too!

I don't know who told you that, but it's not true. I think Cecilia is absolutely right. Why shouldn't Boone have some earnings? He may need them badly one day; who can ever predict what will happen. And he won't care. If you ever read The Siege and Exiting Nirvana, well, the mother in The Siege was very careful to protect her daughter's identity, but by Exiting Nirvana she knows her daughter doesn't care anyway and since she is by then in her forties, it seems likely that she never will. Boone is talented! Let him earn himself whatever he can. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Well, I just wrote to Kingsley publishers. We'll see what happens. As far as exploitation -- believe me -- I have been accused of it by certain people. It's like Boone doesn't have a right to profit from his own talents. Unbelievable. I found this the other day: http://www.williamgibsonboard.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=5006046771&f=6406046771&m= 1036090582 It's a science fiction board where they are discussing the similarities between Boone and his art and new book by a writer named Gibson. The book even has a character named Boone. (I think I better read the darn thing and see if Boone's life has been ripped off!!!) Anyway, they are making comparisons of the characters in the book and me and Boone. Freaky to see your life discussed by people who don't know you. One of the people on the board mentions exploitation. Why is it when disabled people are able to generate their own income it's called exploitation???? Oh well. Thanks, Cecilia and Leggs. I guess I'm going for it. Why do I care what a bunch of geeks think? Sissi RE: need advice I think I would sell them and save the money for Boone needs and for her future.

It was another one entirely. One of them went into this long story about a woman who " invented " a child with some illness and started raising funds, accepting donations, wrote a book, all sorts of stuff -- only to find out later that the child didn't exist at all. The person was accusing me of doing that even though I have never asked for donations or money of any sort whatsoever. So you see, some people are very evil and dishonest so they think everybody else is too. I tend to stay away from non-autism discussion boards after this and similar experiences.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 >>They attacked me<< May I ask about what? I found Boone's site to be very interesting and enjoyable to read BTW. I don't get why people think it is wrong for you to sell Boone's thing if 1)people are asking for them 2) He doesn't mind. I mean if you said " Boone, your quota for today is 16 Clocks, get building!! " Then maybe..LOL Just kidding Re: need advice > Are you a member of that forum? No. I never even heard of Gibson or his books until it came up on counter report. I like to keep track of who's linking to Boone's web page. > If you are why don't you get involved in the discussion? I'm not sure what I'd say to them or how they'd react. I did join a discussion once before about Boone on another board. They attacked me. Forget that!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 There was a woman in Urbana, Ohio about 1 hour form me, who pretended to have a daughter with cancer for money. She even gave her druga and had her go to counseling to prepare to die. It was awful, but what does that have to do with you? I guess I just can't stand judgemental people. They have no clue of what are lives are like. Libby > They attacked you?? How dare they!!
