Cara, As someone who once held his own child while she passed, I can sympathize with your distress as you face end-of-life issues with a friend. However, as I learned during a similar time of my own, life goes on. In particular, I had to continue dealing with the day-to-day aspects of my job @ a busy non-profit organization & delegate responsibilities to others as required.
However, all of that being said, I don’t believe that the level of frustration, being experienced by the majority of this list’s members, is either understood or being acted upon by you or any other moderator. In addition, I don’t feel that a lecture on maturity or the usage of the delete key is warranted or appropriate. You are in effect calling the well-behaved members of this list to higher standards, while asking them to ignore or overlook the poor behavior of the individual who has chosen to ignore polite conventions that help to govern the interactions of society. Honestly, some of the posts I’ve seen by this individual directed a while back @ one of the ladies on this list, if directed @ my wife or one of my daughters, would have been cause for a swift & violent physical reaction. In short, while I feel deeply for you, the situation on this list has been ignored for far to long & is snow-balling. The, kind & considerate members of this list are, basically, pleading with you to either appoint a moderator who will act on these sorts of issues or—if life’s circumstances are preventing your full participation in this list’s activities—then relinquish ownership to some one who has the time & where-with-all to make a positive difference. I hope you can understand that all of this is offered with compassion towards you.
