Title: Let's avoid critisizing others please Post by: Patrick on September 11, 2002, 04:00:00 AM As I've said many times in the past, I don't care what somebody said in another forum. Speculation designed to put someone down does nobody any good.

Patrick; Yesterday I asked for clarification on why my post in this area was deleted. It was removed within hours of submission. A day and a half has now passed and no response. I know you have more important things to do today (and probably everyday), still you action causes my question and again I (probably like you) would prefer to handle this through email. I ask because I did not criticize or put anyone down and these are the reasons cited for your action; as I also did not offer a link to any other board. My question was, is this the same story referred to by a frequent poster here. It should be obvious from the (unmentioned) persons' response below he is not alone in his opinion. What is important (very), is that he informed on an RW to the INS without personal knowledge of the situation. He made this admission unsolicited in a thread on another board. He suffered serious abuse from members of the other board for his action (from what I know, rightly so). He has not been so impolitic as to make the same admission here. I wonder if others of his opinion here would also choose to inform the authorities, as he did. I am not judging or condemning, although if anyone asks my opinion, it should be obvious (yes there is an agenda here). The reason for my warning is simple, if one of YOUR posters comes here with a problem looking for advice and options (before acting), he could easily be betrayed to the authorities by this person before having option of pursing his own solution in his own way. We can not know more of the situation referred to or how their plan to rectify the situation was being dealt with. Other possible solutions were preempted by the betrayal of their situation by the frequent poster here. If I appear to be obtuse to any other members here it is because I am trying to not offend Patricks' interpretation of his own rules; as is his right. Patrick, I act because I have personal experience of this persons uninformed actions before in a case where he was grossly mistaken. Gentleman, life is not black or white (always). Today there are two other women facing deportation (under strict interpretation of the law) in New York city. They each have children born here and are being good citizens and want to stay. Unfortunately, they have violated there status as dependents on their spouses work visas. Their husbands died on 9-11-01 at the WTC. And is it fair and right to throw them out also as they are now in violation of their visa terms? Acorrding to several among us.....yes. I would suggest the successful pursuit of RW may require more understanding and flexibility than is always shown here.

Patrick, I noticed a post I made (which did refer to another board) has been deleted. I was not (IMHO) critisizing anyone, just determining if it was the same subject discussed here. Thanks and feel free to contact me off board.

Often times "good" posts get "cleaned" when they are in a thread with "bad" posts. Patrick dioesn't have the time to pick and choose... he usually just wipes out a whole thread. Don't take it persoanlly...

Mark: I appreciate your response and am aware of this. My entry appears to have been singly selected, perhaps because the person I referred to requested this action. I can not know unless Patrick answers. I have addressed another message to him above. Thanks for offering and trying to enlighten. joseph |
