I have the great pleasure to call Kaitlyn my friend. I find her to be one of the fine people in this world, and for some reason she always remembers me with my name and a smile. Communications is always a difficult thing and this List and the Internet makes it even more so that before. I know Fred well. He is a kind person and didn't mean to offend. I know Kathy as well, and maybe more than most, know what she is going through with Kaitlyn and the legal problems we are fighting with each day. Kaitlyn and her Mother have great courage and passion, and maybe we need to walk just a step in her shoes. This is a difficult situation but that is what life is about. We rant, we scream, we love, hate, and despair. We find a friend, we lose a friend. We love, and hate. We are human. We need to remember that, as to all of us. This thread has caused me a great deal of pain, since I can see it from the outside. As a Jewish man from the 40s I also know the anger that some words can cause. But, nothing was meant in this situation, just a burst of white hot flame that came too fast, too hot, and at the wrong time. A deep breath is needed, and then let's get back to a bit more tolerance.
