It's also amazing that long time FReepers are branded as trolls or simply insulted for having a view that differs with the "All Terri-All-The-Time" crowd. Sad

Look, I'm not going to brand any of you as a troll if you've come on to honestly have discussion with us here who regard Terri's life as having worth, even in its debilitated condition. However, some FReepers just seem to want to get our ire up without really discussing anything. We've had our share of taunting by some of you, just as you feel that we've called y'all trolls. It works both ways. If you want to have legitimate discussion then do so. Don't be taken aback when we try to support our positions.

If you're just gonna do a countdown of days till Terri's feeding tube is removed, like some longtime Freepers have done on these threads, then I'll count you as a troublemaker and nothing more. If you want genuine give and take, then do it! There's no need to harass us! We truly have deeply felt convictions about trying to help Terri's family. I would do the same for any other of my countrymen that I thought were in danger of losing their life for no good reason. IMHO, our society is not doing enough to protect the vulnerable. Can you honestly stand by idly while someone is about to be murdered? My conscience won't let me.
