Below is the email that I sent to Trisha privately about this situation. I
am now posting it here on the list at her request.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>My original message to Trisha
Trisha,
I appreciated your making the nasty email public. Under "normal"
circumstances, I am opposed to making private emails public without the
consent of both parties, but I think this email was so over-the-top that you
had no choice.
I do think you were wrong about one thing, though. You indicated that he
was acting like he is 15 years old. Among my other interests, I own the
local movie theater here in Willcox, and I have several 15 year-olds working
for me. In fact, my assistant manager, who is now 16, was 15 when I
promoted her to that position. Your comment about him acting like he is 15
is an insult to all of the real 15 year-olds out there.
Don't for a moment think this person speaks for all of the others in the
group. We have, from time to time, shared the problems of several of our
fellow list members. That's what friends are for. If I wanted impersonal
information, I wouldn't join a mailing list. An Internet mailing list is a
community. So, please keep us up-to-date, because most of us on the list
care about how life is going for our list-friends, even if we haven't had
the opportunity to meet them face-to-face.
Bill in Willcox
