To the readers of Alt.support.breast-implant:
Many of you have seen or read the numerous messages which go back and
forth
Quoted message said:between Ilena Rosenthal, Director of the Humantics Foundation for Women,
and
Quoted message said:persons she refers to as her "enemies". We, the undersigned, are certain
that
like us, you have grown immensely tired of this back and forth.Therefore, as the turn of a New Year symbolizes new beginnings, we are
offering
the following New Year's Resolution. Commencing from the period
immediately
Quoted message said:following the posting of this message, and through January 31, the
undersigned
posters pledge to completely ignore Ilena Rosenthal. And we mean ignore

same spirit offered by the great non-violent peace activists: we will not
not
respond, no matter how provoked. We will not provoke. We will not
acknowledge
the presence or even existence of Ilena Rosenthal whatsoever on Usenet.Ms. Rosenthal herself has said, "Here's another idea ... ask those

[email hidden])Here is a perfect opportunity for her to finally make that promise real.
On February 1, the success of this will be assessed, and a thorough and
honest
accounting will be offered in the form of a brief summary report. At that
time,
it is up to the signatories to this resolution to decide for themselves
whether
or not their participation ought to be continued.One note - this pledge does not mean that the signatories refrain from
posting
to Usenet, or even from a.s.b-i. It means, simply, that for the period of
this
point through January 31, it will be as though Ilena Rosenthal does not
exist to
them. They are free to post anything else, so long as it does not respond
to,
refer to, or in any way acknowledge Ilena Rosenthal, the Humantics
Foundation,
or any directly associated entities.Thank you for your understanding of this matter. We would ask that any
non-signatories not inflame the rhetoric themselves, and if you must write
on
this subject that it be in a moderating and reminding capacity.Our best wishes for a happy, prosperous, productive, and peaceful New
Year.
Quoted message said:Any
of those not listed who are interested in participating are free to add
their
names at the bottom, so long as they recognize the responsibility such
signing
carries with it. We do not want anyone joining with us who cannot
exercise
Quoted message said:the
self-control necessary to engage in this civil action.Sincerely,

[email hidden],I made this resolution severalyears ago. Unfortunately, I am still the
victim of her attacks as she sees me everywhere anyone posts from AOL. I
have absolutely no desire to deal with this woman, but, alas, she will not
leave me alone.
