[nagdu] Sarcasm: NAGDU List

[Marion Gwizdala]

Dar,
    I also understand that you sometimes use a wheelchair. I thought this 
list was only for people who walked. People who use wheelchairs don't 
understand those of us who walk, so I am going to unsubscribe. I also 
understand that there are some black people on this list, a few gay people, 
and, OMG some women here, too! None of these people understand me as a 
straight white male and, because of these characteristics - especially the 
blacks and the women - are so ignorant as to not be able to adequately 
understand anything at all!
    I admit this message is meant to be sarcastic, but I send it, not to 
flame or offend anyone; rather, it is meant to help you understand the 
illogical position you are taking. The purpose of this list is to discuss 
issues related to guide dog use. One need not be a guide dog user to discuss 
these issues. Furthermore, there are several people on this list who have 
come here to get advice and direction before getting a guide dog and there 
has never been a problem with this. I'm not sure what makes this specific 
issue any different! Neither do I want to know! Though I am not the 
Moderator - I am actually the person who assigns the Moderators - I urge 
everyone to cease and desist the sort of bigotry this attitude reveals. All 
are welcome in our Movement who want to work in the direction of true 
progress. Similarly, all are welcome on this list, provided they conduct 
themselves with dignity and respect!

Fraternally yours,
