For me, it's not hatred for a person. How could it be if I don't know the
person? It is the content of the original post that bothers me, and don't
we all have a right to voice our opinion on the matter? Thanks.

I think that this matter would be best dealt with by a moderator.
So far I've seen nothing but bashers and flamers flaming this person, and
while whether his request was appropriate on this list or not, I am sad to
say that the bashers and flamers will not be dealt with at all, and that is
very sad indeed.
This is Christmas, for those who celebrate it, yet people are giving this
person all kinds of grief for posting something that may or may not have
been appropriate. None of us lowly list members have the power to say,
unequivocally whether this person's post was appropriate or not, so I think
this thread should end until the moderators get back and handle it.
Either way, I believe it's a shame to have to come to my e-mail, and see
nothing but hatred being spewed on a list that is there for the sole purpose
of helping others out.
Merry Christmas, or what ever other holiday you happen to celebrate at this
time of year, I'm sure you're making your religion very proud.

Hello everyone,
I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I
don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh
things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask
for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside
of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From
the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native
English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where
asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it
does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate
among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we
have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn
independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered
in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I
understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to
him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain
that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have
what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find
resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our
tone of responses.
I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the
info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a
part of a supportive community. Please let's think about saying no in a more
compassionate way.
Many blessings to members of all religions and to persons with varying
perspectives,
Terrie Terlau
