All I ask is that everyone remember that passions are running very high and 
hearts are aflame. It is so easy to hurt and be hurt right now. (Paul, you 
know I love you as a friend, I know the real you and I know how much you love 
Joni, but you've got to take that biting edge off of some of those comments, 
please?)

People have come and go on this list for many years. Some come back and some 
do not. Everyone has to remember that people are here because of their love 
for Joni Mitchell. When a person leaves, they are just as grieved at leaving 
their Joni brothers and sisters as they are grieved about the actual incident 
which led up to their departure. It really hurts.

Now is not a time for anyone to make any major judgments or decisions about 
anything. There is too much going on emotionally. It's the same wisdom one 
gives when someone else is grieving over the loss of a loved one. Major 
decisions should be put on hold until the person is in a right frame of mind 
to weigh the consequences of their decision. Slow down and breathe. 
Everything is going to be all right. We have "the bond." Never forget that.
