Something that many of us do is just block emails from these folks. I don?t

ever get messages from sjnr. #1- I don?t agree with him politically or on

most things. #2- he?s irritating. He uses every opportunity to stand on a

soap box.



Anyway, it?s just an idea. You?d think these two ADULTS could keep their

conversation private and quit hitting the ?reply all? button. (Of coarse, I

just did it, but at least I?m funny. Folks out there reading this are

rolling their eyes and giggling because they wouldn?t expect anything else

from little ole Heather.)



It?s like my students (they?re 11). Some just need to be heard and they use

us as a captive audience. Like someone mentioned earlier (and is true with

many 11 year olds), if you ignore the negative behavior, it usually goes

away. I always just ask the kid if they need a hug, since they?re obviously

crying out for attention. So many we can see if our members with political

agendas JUST NEED A HUG!?!

 Hey all,



      Does this type of discussion REALLY have a place on the OBRA chat mailer?

If not, please stop bombarding me with all this; if so, I guess I'll just

unsubscribe. There are plenty of forums and chat rooms to discuss this stuff!



Thanks,



Jeffery Salamon
