Public appeals are interesting this morning. Look at this one, too, since I fear it may disappear:

I agree with you to a large extent. Although extreme ODD is considered to be indicative of a predisposition toward sociopathic behaviors, it seems to me that ODD is a personality trait, one that can become pathological if parents and teachers don't know how to cope with it.

Kids with dyslexia are arguably suffering with a real and detectable difference in brain function, according to remediation experiments using SPECT scans to track how the brain activates while the child reads.

I wish you could see how having ADHD has affected Thing 1's life, though. He can't attend a mainstream high school. He would be a drop-out today if we hadn't found an alternative program for him. He's clinically depressed, and has been suicidal in the past. It's very hard to even write this paragraph.

Thing 2 excels despite his diagnoses, in large part because he's s stubborn cuss.

Thing 1's learning disabilities have had a profound effect on his academic career, and part of the reason is because he's not a stubborn cuss.

In 1000 words, LeGuin couldn't explain why there was no other possibility. After trying every other action I can imagine, and having them all fail, I can explain why there seems to be no other possibility at CF.

It makes perfect sense to me. A member asks why her post was deleted by a moderator, possibly Michelina but obviously (there being no contact or no explanation) which one is unknown. No explanation. A discretionary appeal is filed and accepted. Nobody takes any action. That is pressed, the pressing of it is closed, another appeal is made, and the Execs start whining about how busy they are. Maybe if they fucking did their job, which every principle of leadership suggests is to make sure the people working under them do their jobs right, they wouldn't be so busy. And now, the stonewall is that a discretionary appeal is not an appeal as of right.

God! If someone asks for information, and it's determined to stonewall the answer, just say so. If someone asks for mercy (discretion) and it's granted, the excuse that they have no right to the mercy is a piss-poor one. Of course they don't; that's why it's mercy. Jeffrey would have been completely within his rights to deny a discretionary appeal. He is totally out to lunch in thinking that, having granted it, he can now say it's not an appeal as of right.

I have a new set of CF rules, that are more accurate:

1. You may post what we want to allow.
2. If you post something else, we'll edit or delete it.
3. What we feel like allowing is completely at our discretion.
4. We may tell you why we edited or deleted it, but don't count on it.
5. If we don't feel like doing so, you have no right to know.
6. Don't criticize us; we're in charge.
7. If you disagree with any of this, you're welcome to leave. Otherwise, see Rules 1-6 for your rights.

kib, while I appreciate your forgiveness, what you continue to accuse me of is flat out fiction. So get over yourself already.

How on earth can this not be taken as a personal attack?! This seems to me to be such an incredibly insensitive and inappropriate post. :huh: This relationship lab is quite strange to me.

okay i just have to ask. i just cannot stand it anymore. cib why didn't you show up for the IM meeting? why? would not everything have come out then? what were you afraid of? why not have the meeting? and why not even admit to everyone else that such a meeting was asked for by the same ones you persecute? what are you hiding from?

Crazy Liz

Those aren't new. Those are murron's rules.

THere is no one on cf that is analogous to that child, that is where it breaks down.

In my experience, there are rarely only 2 choices.
