Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I was hoping there would be more of a " professional " input of e- mails........let's hope this group does evolve in this direction and that we can benefit from an exchange of " good " information. ........after all this is about uplifting and supporting TCM as a profession.....up to this point there has been too much e-mail traffic besically about NOTHING. Let's evolve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Dear ? Whoa.....I don't see ethics as a nothing issue and it sure is highly necessary in the professional realm. I also want to see timely issues such as SARS (propaganda) and folks opinions on such...I very much appreciated all posters' 'two cents'. I don't see chastising the group as anything uplifting. Personally, when I find a group that does not meet my needs I leave. I don't expect a list to be managing my e-mails for me. I'm not sure what you are expecting this evolution to be, but but I have plenty of textbooks, periodicals and search engines. I want to communicate with other human beings in the field and whatever is in their hearts and minds. IMHO, Kit PS. Are you the owner/moderator?

Personally, when I find a group that does not meet my needs I leave. I find your reply to a reasonable request a bit righteous and demeaning. It is always a good idea to expect the best of people and if a person would like the group to go in a different direction, they have every right and responsibility to voice that niely. I don't expect a list to be managing my e-mails for me. This has nothing to do with what was asked. I'm not sure what you are expecting this evolution to be, I believe the gentleman requested more professional input. Seems pretty clear to me. but but I have plenty of textbooks, periodicals and search engines. I am glad you do. I am sure most of us do. I don't see how that has anything to do with the request for more professional input. I want to communicate with other human beings in the field and whatever is in their hearts and minds. IMHO, Kit That may be well and nice for you. You have every right to state so. That does not mean anyone else shouldn't ask for what they want. PS. Are you the owner/moderator? Does it really matter? He asked for a reasonable thing. I happen to agree. You might ask yourself why a reasonable request would illicite a somewhat snotty post in return??

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Yes....and I have the right to reply. He called previous posts " NOTHING " and he yelled it....in case you don't know what caps mean in e-mails. That and the rest of his post was chastising. I saw nothing polite nor gentlemanly. There's enough censorship going on in this country to not have to put up with it amoung the healing arts. Let professional e-mails be posted and let all others be posted also...it certainly is about managing his e-mails when he says " TOO (also yelled) many " . Nothing obtuse about it, even. He is trying to dictate to the list. He only wants to hear what he wants to hear and for everyone else to shut up and not fill up his inbox! If you both don't want to 'suffer' thru others e-mails...that is your problem to deal with.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 I read the response to the comments regarding 'too many e- mail' " ......and I think the reaction somewhat over the edge and has nothing about " chastisiing the group " ,......what follows below is my rsponse, agree or not, I thought it better (best) that we all just try to give this thing a chance. If it offended anybody please accept my apology,----after all we can all agree to disagree when necessary! What follows below is a message I sent directly to the person that seemed the most ofeended......which was not my intention.....just my opinion..... and then a reaction! Be well. _____ Dear Kit, I'm sorry if my message seemed a little strong about " too many e-mails " , but I found it overwhelming finding my inbox filled with things that were really not that important nor relevant to the profession. For example the comments re: SARS were really a little over the edge. I am a TCM practitioner with over 22+ years experience living and dealing with this in Toronto (Sars capital of North America as it has been referred to by the US media), and I do agree the media is having a hey-day with this one, but there is also the whole other side of uninfected but affected people that it has taken a toll on. I guess my expectations for the posting(s) would be more along the lines of sharing of professional information.....and not just one of an in-box filled with little clinically or professionally relevant information.....hopefully as time foes along there will be positive changes,........until then I have found a way to read the e-mail at the site at my leisure, and I guess that is what works best for me at this time and also where this group is at. Thanks for at least reading this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
