Hello all, I have successfully unsubscribed (spelled correctly this time – smile) from my old address and am now receiving my messages in my new inbox. To date, I have heard nothing more (apology or otherwise) from the person who wrote the rude response. Like the world out there, this list is a microcosm of people, and I am thankful to be a part of it, regardless of who else is on here. Though the words shocked and stung me, I want you to know that I appreciate the support you demonstrated for me. While I don’t post often, I always read and learn. Thank you for caring enough to nurture and be helpful. I know you will continue to be your best selves as we move beyond this incident.
Take good care of yourselves.

It was Marilyn who apologized for asking the question. The very rude person has not bothered to apologize. This thread has continued as many of us have wanted to offer support for Marilyn.

Yes, this person made a very rude and inappropriate comment. However, she did appoligize for it. Was it wrong to make such a comment, yes, but every one makes mistakes and she owned up to it and appoligized. Its time to let it go.

First is that Marilyn has nothing to apologize for, and I hope she doesn’t judge this whole list by a few rude members. As anyone can tell, this list is full of members who want to help other blind people. But it also can’t keep mean and self righteous people from joining the list. IMHO, the moderator doesn’t need to give this person a second chance before kicking them off the list. Marilyn made an honest mistake, but anyone who would tell someone else on the list that they don’t have a brain, is just not someone who should be given another chance or be allowed on this list. Finally, I’m on plenty of lists which have nothing to do with blindness and I don’t find blindness related lists to have a greater number of rude people on it then your average list. I wish it were the case that blind people would kinder and more gracious then the general public, but unfortunately this isn’t the case. I also don’t think that the opposite is true, and that is that the blindness community is more mean spirited or has more rude people in it then the general community. I find this to be just another unsubstantiated prejudice against blind people. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com>> On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Saturday, June 6, 2020 3:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Apology It would have taken the same amount of energy to just anser the question as opposed to making that comment. It's interesting that I notice this kind of behavior a lot more on blind oriented lists.
