[nabs-l] Security in ourselves, acceptance in others

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi David,

Thanks for clarifying! I guess I was getting into a pretty touchy 
subject.  So, I'll just keep the Forums when I get them for my 
own reading and send them to people offlist if I think they might 
be interesting.  I just wanted to see what people thought of the 
ACB's president's comments.  So, guess that's my warning before 
you delete my email address from the list.  * Smile! Thanks! 
Sorry for anyone who was offended.

 Chris

Chris:

While what you are trying to do is "well meaning," it is
inappropriate, and not in step with the purpose of this list.  
This
is not a debating society, and nor are we a vehicle to distribute 
the
Braille Forum.  This list is for NABS and blind students, not to
discuss the founding of the ACB, or debate how it is different 
from the NFB.

Hmm...  that's interesting.  Well, I went out of my comfort zone 
a
little and signed up to get both the Monitor and the Braille 
Forum
(ACB's magazine) by email.  I will attach this month's Braille
Forum.  Although a lot of it has to do with the lagistics of 
their
convention in Reno, please especially take time to read the
President's Message column from Mitch Pomerantz.  You'll see 
there
what he says about the NFB and Dr.  TenBroek and Dr.
Jernigan, while comparing the ACB's founding to that of the 
United
States.  What do you all think of this? Am I stirring the pot too
much? Oh heck...  another little debate won't hurt.  * Smile!
