Dear List from Brian Jensen; Recently I have been reading a list members comments which I find offensive and derogatory to myself and possibly other list readers and submitters. I work as a therapist in Mental Health and am often confronted by behaviours which are abusive to others in many fashions. Two of these abusive behaviours I have recently observed list written are possibly verbal and emotionally abusive to the reading member. I do not feel this type of behaviour is to be condoned or supported by simply letting it happen over and over. I believe in personal integrity and respect for others is a given; in our mode of communication on this list. To let this behaviour continue amounts to allowing dysfunctional and harmful communication to continue being passed onto the list. I am not speaking of the person here, but of the behaviour I find unacceptable. I contacted Steve--Fjordlist Captain last night to request the removal of this type of communication and behaviour from the list we all share. If this is a kitchen table discussion-----and it continues I choose to leave the derogatory abusive conversation. If you share in my comments and observations about this behaviour please contact Steve privately about your feelings and thoughts.
