Okay, but there's a way to go and write a letter, and there's one that fans the
flames even more. Posting a petition list almost invites commentary, however
unjustified.
It's not just this latest petition thread, which in fact, could have been a lot
tamer, but plenty of others which start the churn again and again. I'll give
you the most insignificant of examples: The use of the word "bley". In our
group, we've actively tried, at the suggestion of Derek, not to use this term,
because it gives credence to the whiners. Yet everytime people use the word
"bley", it continues to perpetrate the stigma of what happens. It's like
rubbing it in, long after the wound has closed.
