i hate to see people slammed or flamed because someone jumped to conclusions. it seems everything anyone says is wrong sometimes even if they meant well. i have been there, and i don't want to argue with anyone.
i am not getting involved with any side of any story, but i think it would have been nice to not have 100 people writing nasty letters to myself or someone else because of one letter that someone misunderstood. i didn't read Dora's letter, but if she is going through what i already had to a while ago, i hope the moderator will do her job and put a stop to it. iI'msure i am the last person any of you would have liked to have a response from! i am also sure eevery timemy name is on this list someone cringes, but i don't really care. this website is a nice way to learn lace as a hobby, and it is also nice to talk to others who can help each other out when they are confused or totally lost. it's a shame people aren't as careful as they wish ootherswere about what they write. i see a lot of careless aaccusationsabout other countries and other people's governments, but i see no one flaming or slamming them. i wish other people on this website would acknowledge the letters as you know they were meant to be for each letter that someone sends that says something different. if everyone on this website would do that, then these things would die down quicker. Making someone feel like they have been alienated by an entire list of people who are usually quick to reply to anything could be turned around if the lurkers would send a nice letter like what was just sent by clay blackwell. I'll remind you again i don't really care what you think, but I'll bet we are all hoping to here more about what was in Dora's bag then what someone took so offensively in her letter. we can all have one then,, and i think we are all going to need them. in America we have our emergency car bags that include a blanket, candles, flares, jumper cables, food, bottled water, flashlights, pocket knives, rope, a tarp, chains, and a battery powered radio that will pick up weather channels. what could someone carry around with them to help them in an emergency like this? i also agree with Dora because i don't drive. i walk, ride a bike or find a ride with someone. i usually carry a purse with food, a drink, a pocket knife, a miniature flashlight, a cell phone if you have one, but a blanket is hard to fit in a purse. it would better for everyone if you would just print suggestions on what to bring instead of sending nasty letters. we are all going to end up with gigantic walls built between each country or state to attempt to stop this crappy terrorism, and then 100 years later we will all celebrate it being torn down just like the china wall. there is no cure for terrorism and pointless to argue with people unless you were at al quada's gate. save the hate for them. --- Clay Blackwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dora wrote, > > > > I'm thinking, my knapsack is jsut about large > > > enough for bicycle tools and rain gear....
