[Dysphagia] I am fed up

[cohoe at uci.net (Nora)]

I vote for a kindler, gentler listserve as well.  Can we stop wit the
questioning of others and simply be supportive?  If we fear posting for the
ridicule of one member we allow her to win.  Let's ask those beginner
questions and let's advertise those courses.  This listserve is for SLP's;
let's take it back.

Subject: [Dysphagia] I am fed up

Hello all,

  I am an SLP and proud to say that I am attending "beginner" workshops even
though I have been practising for a long time. I suppose I never think I am
a perfect SLP, and guess what, I may even learn something from the new
grads, who as someone put it, should already know everything form their
masters program.

  I posted a question a few years back when I was a new grad, and a
particular person posted a reply and made me look like a total idiot (the
same person who normally does this). I feel saddened to say that I have been
afraid of posting since then. But reading all of these replies, I am glad
that others can see how toxic this list serve can be.

  Its a shame really, because there are some really great SLPs who post here
(all in fact), and I am sorry I had such a bad experience in the past.

  Thanks,
  Vicky
