Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Dear Jen Please know that I fully respect what you and Pattie wrote,and if we truly are an open honest family, home, support group, then we should acknowledge everyones point of view, whether we agree or not. Some of the best debates end with great results and answers. I dont think you or anyone else should have to apologies for expressing your opinion, that will only make people wary of bringing up something that may be bothering them. This subject should not have become so emotional, we are all here for the same reason our children and that should remain the priority. Thanks for your opinions, i for one greatly respect it.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 . I joined this listserve a few months ago. My daughter Raven is RSS, and I keep in touch with some of the people privately. I just wanted to tell you that you have NO REASON to apologize. I appreciate your posts, and completely agree with you. I never post on the site,(never have anything to say) but I feel that you need to read this. Have a great day, Mahalo Mollison, 6, Raven 5 (rss) and Lenore 1 Brock wrote: I obviously have been out of town for the last 2 days. And I realize that this issue is being put to bed. But I need to tell you that I am absolutely shocked at the responses that have been posted. I will email privately. But I wanted to clearly convey my apologies for what I hope people realize was never any intention. Several people talk about feeling singled out? Holy )(#$*#$. How would you think I feel???? Did I truly give any impression that I thought that the listserve wasn't a great place? Did I truly give an impression that I thought that the listserve wasn't our home? Did I truly give an impression that we shouldn't be supportive to others? Are ideas about subject lines and replying directly to people that bad? My example that got so upset wasn't directed at anyone. We have all done what I wrote. I would have never used such an example if only one person had done that. Gosh, guys! My example wasn't saying we shouldn't be supportive. We should!!! It was just a suggestion that maybe we send those privately to the person. But it is a suggestion. Not a critique of any specific person, and certainly not a mandate. My mouth is literally on the floor. I realize that I am a day behind all of you, but I am in absolute SHOCK that Katy's original email and mine have pissed off so many people!!!! I think Pattie's email was absolutely the best - that we are a large family and we should continue to find ways to meet the needs of all of our family members. My email was only a suggestion. There was no slamming in it; I never pointed fingers at anyone; I didn't say anything negative about the listserve. So here is my apology, and I will drop this forever. I apologize if my email offended anyone. It was not my intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 You should not feel that you need to apologise. All your message did was offer a suggestion. If others took your suggestion the wrong way, that is not your fault. ne. > > I obviously have been out of town for the last 2 days. And I > realize that this issue is being put to bed.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi Jenn, The main reason for me to visit the American RSS-site, is the fact that i always get such warm reactions from peple. It really feels like a family, you always help everyone. I don't think you should appologize for sharing your opinion. Like a great member of this site one said to me " This too shall pass!!! " Greets, Amy > > I obviously have been out of town for the last 2 days. And I > realize that this issue is being put to bed.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi this is Sheldon and i hope it wasn't my response that pissed you off but if it was i am sorry and will back away for awhile and answer only if it pertains to Laikyn or me. Sheldon I am shocked I obviously have been out of town for the last 2 days. And I realize that this issue is being put to bed. But I need to tell you that I am absolutely shocked at the responses that have been posted. I will email privately. But I wanted to clearly convey my apologies for what I hope people realize was never any intention. Several people talk about feeling singled out? Holy )(#$*#$. How would you think I feel???? Did I truly give any impression that I thought that the listserve wasn't a great place? Did I truly give an impression that I thought that the listserve wasn't our home? Did I truly give an impression that we shouldn't be supportive to others? Are ideas about subject lines and replying directly to people that bad? My example that got so upset wasn't directed at anyone. We have all done what I wrote. I would have never used such an example if only one person had done that. Gosh, guys! My example wasn't saying we shouldn't be supportive. We should!!! It was just a suggestion that maybe we send those privately to the person. But it is a suggestion. Not a critique of any specific person, and certainly not a mandate. My mouth is literally on the floor. I realize that I am a day behind all of you, but I am in absolute SHOCK that Katy's original email and mine have pissed off so many people!!!! I think Pattie's email was absolutely the best - that we are a large family and we should continue to find ways to meet the needs of all of our family members. My email was only a suggestion. There was no slamming in it; I never pointed fingers at anyone; I didn't say anything negative about the listserve. So here is my apology, and I will drop this forever. I apologize if my email offended anyone. It was not my intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
