I know where you are coming from, and please just take a few weeks off.
Your perspective will be renewed and you will realize that these Terry threads are not really FR. They are populated largely by those who will not even be here when this matter does come to a close.
For those FR members of long standing who have participated in insult and impertinence, I can only say they are few.
Take a break, you did a fine job explaining this in a neutral fashion. But they want a cheering section. We cannot allow ourselves to be affected by it.
Hmmm ... maybe you and Hildy could both try not eating and drinking for a shorter period than you'd support for dear old Terri. Just 96 hours. See what its like. A wonderful painless exit and all. Such a blessing!
Neutral?????? You've got to be kidding. Hildy was no more neutral than those she disagreed with. Perhaps even less so.
I have been around these boards for a long,long time. Long before I read about Terri and became STUNNED at the injustice of that case.
There is NO ONE ON FR who supports the right to die more than I do.
No one.
But that is not what this case is about, it is about EVERYTHING that FR stands for....the very foundations of our rule of law.
If you and Hildy think that supporting breathtaking injustice on the part of Judge Greer and felos and michael shiavo is NOT what FR is about, tough.
Hildy posted material that was FACTUALLY INACCURATE and it was pointed out to her....documentation rules at FR.
I don't want Hildy to leave, nor do I appreciate you saying those who support Terri are not really a part of FR.
Grow up.
All of us are a part of FR. That is what makes it so wonderful.
