[he] has every right to voice his/her opinion. Part of the advice, IMHO, was plain common sense.

And would you also say that the mind-messer had a right to voice THIS opinion to one of Terri's strongest supporters?

"...will you and the other one tooth wonders sit down, shut up, stay home and stop looking like loonies every time you are on TV?"

And lets not forget this mind-messer was cheering for George Felos' camp last October. His real goal here did not seem to be to help Terri, but to demoralize her supporters. He could have contacted the family and her team in one fiftyith the time he spent here rudely lambasting.

The nit-wit gets all his news from the St.Pete Times and CBS, and didn't even have the gender right for the person he'd 'seen on TV' so often.

I told him/her about being rude on the previous thread. FR_addict doesn't like MB26's tone. She is generally right, and what I read certainly appeared to be rude. And since I do not keep up with all of these lengthy threads/posts on Terri (or even Scott Peterson for that matter), I take her educated word.

That has not been my personal experience with MindBender. It did happen to me when Floriduh voter didn't like my asking if "you are willing to 'trash' the Constitution for this one woman?" Snippy reply "....blah, blah, blah. See ya."

With the exception of attending the protests, I had done as much as any other freeper in getting the governor's attention, as well as telephoning and e-mailing Florida legislators.

In my personal experiences on the Elizabeth Smart threads, I found that, due to ridicule, sarcasm, or FEAR of ridicule, sarcasm etc., many people dropped out, or just lurked.

I let it all roll off of me - took the heat, the jabs, the insults, and/or measured my own right back at them. Why? Because I knew I was right.

It isn't beyond the realm of possibilities that there are people in this forum, pretending to be pro-Terri, making the whole thing look ludicrous....ridiculing sound advice, starting a war of words. Think about it.

Yes, MindBender has the right to voice opinions, unless and until....you can always hit the Abuse button and let Jim Robinson decide.
