Ok, I'm back - had to take a breather for a moment.

Rosie, thank you, I think that's what I was trying to explain but took nine times as much space to not really put it as well as you did.

Well, one thing that this thread does make clear, at least to me, is that there is a lot of pent-up feeling among PWP that we don't seem to have had a chance to express to the powers that be, shall I say. So yes, MJFF and Debi, who was the only one brave enough to actually try and deal with us, sure got turned into a lightning rod. I empathize, but we had to start somewhere, and while one organization cannot represent all and they're all different, they need to start hearing this huge torrent of...perspective...And MJFF happened to be first in line through being open.

I think the rage and fear and despair about being sick are relevant to organizational entities - why should we pretend that we feel any other way than we do, and that is why the structure and tone of work done on our behalf is so important.
