try to think of a message in the positive before the negative, it helps sometimes

i think her point was that she does not know BOB ad did not ASK him to post here for her, she probably is recieving LOTS of emails from people scoffing at her for having someone post on this board on her behalf
i think her point is that she did not do that

I made it quite clear in my initial post that we had never met, but that we had some correspondance and were planning a meeting before a medical issue on my part caused a cancellation. I also made it clear that that message was copied from another board.
I knew Jill had been on TER and thought that since it was posted on another site, it should be here also, for those here that knew her to read.

I have apologized to her for bringing this on her.
I feel really bad about it.
I expected to get some flack, but not the vitriolic bile that some of you people spewed.
Again, I say,...
to those of you who sought to help Jill out or gave her moral support...Thank you
to those who could do nothing but bitch, complain, chastise, and smother her with venomous and hateful emails...shame on you.
When, and if, the time ever comes that you need help, you can bet that some of us here will be the first to jump in.

I hope you remember.

Just my opinion...

There are many kinds of cancer. One of the worst forms is that cancer of the soul nourished by hatefulness and believing that being 'right' is better than being decent to one another.

I wish Jill a speedy and graceful recovery from the physical form of the disease. For those with the metaphorical form?

You will reap what you sow. Good luck with that.

If it were possible to get a group of honest (this is key) providers / hobbyists to collect and diperse funds on a case by case basis it would be great.  It shouldn't be a problem for many hobbyists that are retired and have the time.  It would require several people who are unrelated and unknown to each other to approve requests.  If everyone donated just $1 it would go a long way.  I know most providers do not have any insurance.  It would be great.  OK you can knock me down now.

MDL,
I am posting my post from below thread under yours again up here because it jives with what you had to say and I want it to get read , thanks for posting on what kind of person Jill is for those of us that don't know her.  My post was:
**************************************************

I don't know Emma or Jill or the others, but after reading this whole thread, yep, I did and it is 3:19 in the morning- the bottom line that I see is that none of us have walked a mile in Jill's moccasins, there are too many variables in her own life that we do NOT know about to make judgements, even if they are such "smart" and well informed ones, yeah, I'm impressed, right. It seems to me that some people are going to great lengths to defend their arguments at the expense of Jill when they truly do not know the whole picture, that to win the debate at any cost is more important, hows them priorities? Think about it..you either have compassion or you don't. Jill did not post here anyway for help, Bob did for her. Another bottom line is maybe she is scared even if it is a level "0", she was asking for support from us and if you are any sort of human being you overlook the partial details you think you may have and you just bite it and reach out your hand. Whether someone deserves it or not, if you give from your heart financially or emotionally- it will come back to you someday when you may need it, oh, I forgot, some of you won't ever need it, you've got it all figured out-again, yeah, right.  To Jill, I don't know you , don't have much to give, but I will reach out and write you with what I have, please try not to worry and hang in there- if you ever need someone to lean on- its easy to reach me, take care and you are in my prayers. J.

PS- Have any of your thought about becoming insurance salesman?
