I was feeling a bit embattled. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Calabaza, saddened by the whole affair which cost me someone I valued but who turned it into an either/or proposition, I can only go with what I have experienced and what I know in my heart. I was, however, making a more general observation, namely why can't we disagree civilly without being cutting at best and abusive at worst? <BR/><BR/>I have a question: cui bono?<BR/>Who benefits from the disarray when we savage each other?<BR/><BR/>And Val, I'm as nonplussed as you. I missed whatever was going on, too. <BR/><BR/>My feeling is that each and every one of our blogs serves a function, adds something to the movement. Otherwise, we wouldn't do it. That is not something to dismiss cavalierly.rsnlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727373901371275583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-46073312102479056762008-04-09T09:51:00.000-04:002008-04-09T09:51:00.000-04:00ms calabaza,I sure would like to hear about those ...ms calabaza,<BR/><BR/>I sure would like to hear about those "undercurrents" at babalu that I havent been privy to myself, being that Im so busy regurgitating stale news and all that....Val Prietohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857729823069869008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-74661203034484343422008-04-08T11:47:00.000-04:002008-04-08T11:47:00.000-04:00I also think you wrote an excellent post, because ...I also think you wrote an excellent post, because you can feel it comes from your heart. <BR/><BR/>It's OK to sometimes feel disheartened in this struggle; we're humans and that does not mean that we do not appreciate the suffering of those we left behind, en la boca del lobo.Cubanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211911134354346813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-68453265942717170432008-04-08T09:12:00.000-04:002008-04-08T09:12:00.000-04:00Your post did not come across as bellyaching to me...Your post did not come across as bellyaching to me but actually very thoughtful and full of passion. If I may, let me add that perhaps you fell into the trap of not knowing about some undercurrents going on at Babalu with regard to the topic of your post.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good fight.Ms Calabazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054430444508465670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-39174179110744738802008-04-08T06:07:00.000-04:002008-04-08T06:07:00.000-04:00Thank you.Thank you.rsnlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727373901371275583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-5171551248349145712008-04-07T19:26:00.000-04:002008-04-07T19:26:00.000-04:00I think you wrote an excellent post which to me di...I think you wrote an excellent post which to me did not come across as whining in any way. You said some truths that apply to some whose inflated egos constantly get in the way of what is really important; the plight of the 11 million on the island with very little voice.Jose Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205834601607620612noreply@blogger.com
