Ron just wanted to drop my 2cents. I have not met an OT who is as passionate as you about our profession. I know were u are coming from and don't feel that you are bullying anyone. You are strong opinions, but not offensive. I hope that other OT's don't leave the list and continue to support this vital venue that you creted. Keep it up ------Original Message------ From: Ron Carson Sender: otlist-boun...@otnow.com To: OTlist ReplyTo: OTlist@OTnow.com Subject: [OTlist] Bully Sent: Aug 14, 2009 11:12 AM
Several people, some long-time members, have recently left the list. They commented that I am coming off as a "bully" and this list should not be about "me". If you feel "bullied" by my comments, then I am sorry. It is not my desire nor intention to bully anyone. However, I do have strong opinions and convictions about OT-related topics and I'm not hesitant to post them. But, do NOT let that stop you from posting as well. In my opinion, one thing sorely lacking in the OT profession is CONVICTION. We have too few people with too little conviction about their theory, beliefs and practices. Conversely, we have way too many sheep just going with the flow of traditional practice patterns, even when these patterns are inconsistent with theory. Finally, don't take things personally. This is NOT about YOU or ME, it's about the practice of OT. I have NO negative feelings towards anyone, past or present, on this list. I will gladly shake the hand of any OTnow.com list member or ex-member. -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/otlist@otnow.com Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/otlist@otnow.com
