- The thread started here, Kebbie. Does it occur to you
- that people can't repost the hateful things you say if you
- use the 'abort' command once in awhile? Or think before
- you post? Not all of the folk who are flaming you read
- your comments here first. Since we don't get alt.flame
- here, I think Susan did us a public service by letting us
- know just what we were dealing with.

- They both make me very proud, because they are willing to
- speak out against sick people who would abuse others. Susan
- Garvin gives selflessly of her time and energy in the real world,
- to help others who have problems, and who must run a gauntlet
- of verbal abuse in order to obtain legal services. She's a
- good person, Kebbie. I wonder what sickens you about that?

- This is an interesting perspective on someone who had
- legitimate resentments for a thoughtless trivialization
- of a very serious problem.
