[nagdu] Growing Up Fisher

Obviously adding to the tedium but, something worth serious 
consideration, if one cannot abide by list rules in terms of eticate and 
topic rules, simple solution leave!  You could go one step further and 
set up your own list with your own rules--YIKES!

> You asked what rules had been broken. The rule of respect. By Mike's tone, he was not being respectful of Buddy. Again this had nothing to do with the actual writing, but the way he sounded. Nor did this have any thing to do with Mike's opinion or Buddy's opinion. Again it was the tone. I am getting blue from saying this so much. Nor should I need to explain repect to you, to whom I assume are a grown man. As someone said already, there are rules on this list. I don't care if you don't like the show or not, take it apart bit by bit, express your opinion all you want...but do it in a respectful manner. Also again, this has nothing to do with that I did or not recieve my guide from any particular school. I didn't know about the show until someone posted about it today. Nor do I watch TV. I am the moderator of this list, and do have the authority to tell persons who have a bad tone to be nice. And again, if you have issues with that, please do take it up with Marion, NAGDU president. Everyone since has discussed this show in a respectful manner, but you seem to go and go on and on about this. Your more than welcome to email me offlist, I can not call you.

Nor did I take away your right as a blind person to express your thoughts. What I did ask for, is for the members of this list to be nice to each other. And yes Howard, it was rude.

It is tv show and we can have opinion just like the rest of the country. I understand that this show is being back byGDF and it is all about money. WE as blind people have same rights rest of the country and don't need to kiss as just so we can get a guide dog.
