Don, Why all the hostilaty? It is certainly not called for.
The original question was fair, polite, and legitimate. It was asked simply to see how others felt. It did that and then, for some reason, you and a couple of others get nasty toward me. It makes no sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 5:18 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] blind techniques Mickey, if you don't like the list unsubscribe, just get the hell out...Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Mickey Fixsen To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] blind techniques All I did was ask an honest question abut a list that purports to be about how a "blind" person can do all kinds of handyman type jobs. I simply stated my frustration that some postings are strictly geared toward the sighted and tell, in no way, how a blind person can do the job. I was not at all rude or nasty to anyone. I think this is a very fair question and it did get some honest answers. I don't think I deserve the nasty treatment for asking an honest question. Maybe it's really just a "post anything you want as long as the moderator agrees with you list" and really isn't about blindness at all. If so, then I was mistaken. At least, all of my postings have been from a blindness perstective. -- Mickey ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ferrin To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] blind techniques This is great as we won't be without a research department in your absence Ray. good of you to leave the list in such capable hands.
