[nabs-l] my blog about my experiences at LCB

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Kathryn,

I find it interesting that you are only responding to Tyler's message and not Hope's message when they both appear to contain information about something they do not like about the NFB training centers. Even though the email could have been worded differently to convey a different attitude, I found Tyler's email to be rather meaningful to the discussion of using guide dogs at NFB training centers. I do not believe a person's experience should be any less significant simply because it happens to be negative rather than positive. If anything, I think people should be willing to hear both negative and positive experiences regarding NFB training centers before making the decision to attend an NFB training center. Therefore, I do not believe you have the right to ban someone from expressing their opinions regarding their own personal experience simply because you do not happen to agree with it.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
