[stylist] Kuell article in Monitor

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Oh boy, be careful what you put out on a list serve. Let's just say I
know a former NFB member who was officially banned from the NFB for
discussing stuff like this on a list serve.

I am of course saying this with derision.

Chris, I think you are a fantastic writer and editor and leader for that
matter, and any damage done from this current situation is not a
reflection upon you but upon the organization and the people making such
judgments.

Here's to those of us who think for ourselves and aren't afraid to
question and voice concerns despite the unpopularity of it all. I
believe in democracies and not communism or dictatorships.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your kind words. The ironic thing that has happened since
Gary 
Wunder asked to use this essay (Tom Scanlon never asked) is that I've
been 
censured by the president of the NFB of CT for questioning unethical 
behavior by her and the board of directors. Although I didn't question
the 
behavior publicly, I was kicked off the NFB of CT listserve, and
resigned as 
editor of The Federationist, where I've been the editor for 6 years. The

experience has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so to speak.

I had no idea Connecticut ever extended that far. I live on the very
Western 
edge (I could walk to New York state if I was so inclined) and Scranton
is 
about an hour and 45 minutes from here. Some day I'll have to catch a
bus 
and attend one of your book signings.
