Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Friends, Of course I immediately unsubbed alisia722@... and reported them to . Just when you think this sick, sad world can't get any worse, along comes a jerk like that and proves it can. sigh.... I also received a letter from one of our members advising me of a new " game " other sickos who have nothing better to do are playing with support groups. Maggie writes: " Several people join a list solely for the purpose of deliberately stirring up list trouble--working like a " tag team. " These are people who like to hide their identities to harm others--very despicable. The warning was that these sick individuals are having a contest to see who can cause the most amount of trouble--- the prize being the amount of trouble they can stir up. Some are writing directly to subscribers--some are sending very hateful, inappropriate posts to the list directly. Evidently, Usenet lists are a prime target because they are unmoderated. An EPD and Lyme list seem to have been targeted also. PS--I received copies of some of these messages--and they are so over the top, it is unreal. The list owners involved unsubbed the folks straight away. Seems the people post OK at the beginning, they read various posts (or archives) and then unleash an attack on the most vulnerable person. It is hard being part of this species sometimes. " I agree with Maggie - It can be hard, especially when you realize that animals are kinder to one another and more honest than we humans are. I've often said it's a shame more people can't experience a near death episode in order to see the truth about themselves. Be well friends and focus on the positive.
