Watch out everyone Ball has it in for Pattim. There was a postin her today that was purged within 30 minutes.
Re: freedom of speech stops where anothers begins
Hi Pattim, it was a new one, different then the one last night. I can’t even tell you what it was about now because I quickly put it into the recycle bin in my brain. I think he’s most threatened by you because you are educated, not new to ADHD, and have chosen medication. Well, if people keep reporting it then his stuff won’t be read anyway.
Hi Terry,
That post was up last night too. I had to laugh at his witty repartee after I finished being furious at him/her…I have had this happen once before about 3 years ago, someone using my name and posting things that were offensive and that is why I don’t give out my e-mail address anymore. I e-mailed Ld-Online late last night and they purged the offensive post this morning.
I have worked with people who have issues similar to this person’s as a speech intern. I have empathy for them, as they can’t help themselves and don’t see what they are doing as offensive.
I remember talking with a person who was schizophrenic that was seen inside my home by neighbors, when I was not home. I remember confronting him about his “behavior” and he didn’t see anything wrong wtih what he had done. He didn’t understand that he was violating my privacy.
He said, “I have my free agency to do whatever I want to do,” and I told him “I’ve got news for you,” “your free agency stops where mine begins.” then he said, “What planet did you come from?” I laughed…I was not getting anywhere with logic and reasoning with him and I didn’t have the heart to press charges either.
One of my favorite quotes is by Reverend Henry Burton and I think it is something we should all remember:
Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
“Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another’s tears,
“Til in Heaven the deed appears—
Pass it on.
