[Faith-talk] Dilemma

[Ashley Bramlett]

Brandon,

All I'll say is that if you did not like the posts here or want something 
different, you might ask some of your own questions or  pose your own 
experiences.

I think the list member causing some controversy already said he'd watch 
what he'd say. I think we can move on.
There is always the delete key too if you hate how a particular member 
posts. If you feel stuff needs to change, it also is a good idea to voice 
your concerns and suggestions to the conference calls monthly. Talking about 
it will be much more helpful than emailing.


And, I never saw any backlash against Catholics. If a member states their 
beliefs or opinion, its not meant as an attack on Catholics. We should not 
take stuff so personally.
I've seen worse on other nfb lists. I've seen personal attacks on many 
lists. Sometimes listers on nabs-l will keep telling another member to learn 
braille if they ask a question as if this will solve all their issues, even 
when the lister explained they have problems learning braille or simply feel 
that as an older blind student that braille is not for them for studying due 
to the lack of efficiency with it.

I am busy tomorrow but might check and reply to the list tomorrow night.
I hope we can get some new conversations going.

Ashley

Regarding the list, I just have to say that as a non-Christian, I'm super 
uncomfortable on this list. If a Catholic can get that kind of backlash from 
the list, then what would I, as a Pagan, receive?

i've considered unsubscribing many, many times, and honestly the only reason 
i don't is out of stubbornness. I believe this should be an inter-faith 
list, including all religions. If I left this list, there would be no voice 
for non-Christians.

I agree with some of the others that some boundaries were seriously crossed. 
I don't think this sort of behavior should be tolerated.
