So rather than email any
listers PRIVATELY to discuss the events of the day, we should shit on Debbi for
politely asking that the sordid details NOT be rehashed for the 2345235'th
time? I can't believe that I'M the one who is expressing some sensitivity
here, while all the ladies seem to think it's no big deal. How exactly was
what Debbi did "fucked up"? She made a polite and simple request, and was
promptly told to fuck off (no those weren't the words used, but that was the
idea expressed).

Well, I just talked to Debbi, and she has unsubbed. I
agree that we all
deal with tragedies differently, and as I've said,
I'll be the first to
admit that pretty much anything is fair game here
(hell, look how long the
"ass" thread carried on). OTOH, as I also
posted earlier, and as Debbi has
now confirmed, it's just the fact that
we've ALL read/heard/seen this ALL
DAY, and neither she nor I see the
need to rehash the details again. I
mean, consider if any of us
DID have family or friends killed today. Would
we want those
details rehashed on a discussion list after it's been ALL
OVER the news
for a full day already?
But honestly if
there is someone who doesn't want to read about it no one is
forcing them
too. If anyone wants to they can delete what they don't want to
read. Many people, including myself need a place to just talk about
this
tragedy. I mean damn I see it on the news, I see it from my
window even. I
just found out that one of my friends worked in one
of the buildings that
collapsed, and I have another friend who works on
wall street, plus a friend
who was supposed to transfer to a job in the
WTC, I'm hoping she didn't
though, no one has heard from her yet. The
other two are thankfully accounted
for. My plans to fly to
California next year are no more. I find it
comforting to know that
there are people out there who I can actually talk
too about this. I
mean no disrespect to anyone, but what Debbi did was
pretty fucked up
especially at a time when everyone needs to join together.
Sorry
about the long email but I'm really about to burst right now, so many
emotions are running through me and i really don't know what to do.
