Kathy E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Hi all :) Yes tempers flare at times, as we all know that :) Let's take a breath, step back and reconsider some things said in anger are not truly meant, yet once spoken are hard to retract. Something for all to consider, we are all adults we joined this list to discuss and have some pretty intelligent discussions about high profile law cases and issues in the news, 98% of the time that is achieved, yet every once in a while someone says something that touches a raw nerve and the mentality and maturity level tends to take a nose dive to the point a referee (Me) has to step in and try to stop things. So now why do I need a break? Lets go into the details. The two recent trials both involving child murders bothered the crap out of me, since I have a private experience with that and it brings up stuff I personally don't care to remember, especially since they were on going when the anniversary of my sons death came and went. I do NOT mind covering trials for this list and I think it's something I should do if the list likes it, but after seeing the dead children yep I wanted a break to escape from so called reality for a bit, I then received the message about my histories through all this. I have been able to do one up so far for the schools, so I'm happy for that. Tonight I open up my email and what do I have, believe it or not I have 13 emails all saying "Private", I haven't read them all and I haven't replied to any, I will get to that to those who wrote. But Jesus Christ folks I'm one person, maybe in my position I'm not allowed to have feelings or to express them, well I do have them. I try to keep them off the list if possible sometimes I fail in that I know but I'm sick of the fights and the bitching. Your adults act like it, if you can't settle things between yourselves and you think you need a mediator fine let me know, but perhaps just perhaps instead of asking for me to mediate you could just as easily ignore the poster that offends or sets you off. It's not really that hard and people won't think any less of you, matterfact they may even appreciate you not replying to the offensive post. It takes a better person to walk away from a insult than it does to reply and start a flame war. There are plenty of times I am attacked and called some pretty cruel names yep I could go off also or just do as usual ignore it and move on. Okay I've said my piece, some may say I don't have the right, well I don't care, I do have feelings also. I didn't undertake the running of this list to be a babysitter for bitchers anonymous I started it to discuss legal cases and issues, let's get back to that. If you find this post offensive and wrong and think I have stepped out of line I apologize in advance for that. Guess I'll go find a interesting case that perhaps we can discuss instead of discussing and dissing each other. -- Kathy E "I can only please one person a day, today is NOT your day, and tomorrow isn't looking too good for you either" http://members.delphi.com/kathylaw/ Law & Issues Mailing List http://pw1.netcom.com/~kathye/rodeo.html - Cowboy Histories http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/2990/law.htm Crime photo's Subscribe/Unsubscribe, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the message enter: subscribe/unsubscribe law-issues
