Dear Nicole
I for one hope that you do not leave the list. I find your anger
frightening at times, not because I feel threatened by it (although
sometimes I have felt that your barbs hit their mark with me), but out of
concern for you. Maybe you do not want my concern, and I admit I don't have
the first idea what you should do with it; but there you are. I read what
you say, despite the mild stress your anger induces in me, because it is
well worth reading. But I do realize that you may not wish to have to feel
the anger in order to be here. It's not your job to educate me, although
you have (not that I agree with everything you say, far from it); but we
are all here to learn.
As for Dian Fossey, I do not know what exactly was said in your
correspondence with Hope; but if Hope is taking the line that it is a
neutral act for a white woman to move in on an African situation and start
putting everyone right, then she should pause awhile.
Susan
