Guest guest Posted August 27, 1999 Report Share Posted August 27, 1999 I have been a lurker on this list, and for one reason in particular. It has become obvious to me that I can post about anything, and it may be personal, my story or anything. Then someone can send nasty emails to my inbox in response. This can be upsetting to be, but basically you are saying I cannot receive support for this. I cannot tell others what this person has done, and I cannot find out if it has happened to others as well. You are saying that someone can be mean to others on this list, as long as they are mean in private. And, if someone then shares what this person has done, they are at fault. You people who have something wrong with providing support for this situation are warped. I saw nothing wrong with the post that Cherly received a response to, and I support her for warning the group and sharing so that others like myself can feel encouraged if the same thing happens to us, expecially by the same person. I think you people need to put yourself in her situation, and provide support for a fellow lymie. This is lack of support and jumping to conclusions I see, as an outsider looking in, as a disgrace to the character of this list. There can be lurkers on this list who are just out there to be mean to us, and we have to watch out for them.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 1999 Report Share Posted August 27, 1999 Sara, I am surprised that your first post to the list is such a negative one. Have you read the private correspondence of these two individuals? Do you know for sure that there was a mean and nasty exchange by one person against the other? I have not read them, so I am not able to judge. As a moderator on this list, I do have the ability to block postings from anyone who causes trouble on the forum. I cannot guarantee that anyone who posts to this list will not receive mail from others in the group, nor am I responsible for the content of the mail. If the subscriber who is receiving what they claim are nasty messages, will send them to me I will judge for myself whether the perpetrator should be unsubscribed from our group. I have written to Cheryl and asked her to send " all " the messages that she has received, I have not received them yet. I have corresponded with the " alleged " perpetrator too, who has told me some of the content of the exchange and stated that only two emails were sent to Cheryl, the second letter asked that correspondence be stopped. From what I have been told by both of the people involved, I see no reason to block this person. If there was a reason to warn the group about some mad emailer I would certainly do that, but first I would block them from the list. There were four comments from other members stating that they were not interested in hearing about this dispute and asking Cheryl to keep it private. I asked both the parties involved not to continue this on the list and to try to work it out between themselves, it has nothing to do with Lyme issues to my knowledge. You wrote: " I think you people need to put yourself in her situation, and provide support for a fellow lymie. This is lack of support and jumping to conclusions I see, as an outsider looking in, as a disgrace to the character of this list. There can be lurkers on this list who are just out there to be mean to us, and we have to watch out for them. " Could you please explain to me just how I am not providing support? Seems to me that you are the only one jumping to conclusions. Who are you referring to when you write " You people? " Sara, it takes a whole lot to make me lose my cool, but this childish nonsense is pushing me over the edge. I am hoping that your next post as well as those from the people who are arguing will be strictly related to Lyme issues and not speculation about something you do not know all the details about. Tell me, if someone wrote to me and accused you of writing annoying or nasty mail to them, but they did not send me the proof of their complaint, do you think that I should just delete you from the group on their say so? I would really like your reply about this. But do me a favor and respond to me via private email as I see no need for this issue to be discussed further on Lyme-aid when I have stated over and over it is a SUPPORT List contrary to your belief that " You People " have a warped sense of what is support, not only do I care to be supportive, I above all want to be fair.

I treasure each and every e-mail I receive from this group and yes, that includes arguments and differences of opinions. But like a family, we will get past this and get on track again.
