 | I'm not mad at you per se, Ed. I'm angry that so many of the people on this site seem so dismissive of cruelty and injustice perpetrated against an entirely blameless person. Ms. Sammartino was attacked for what exactly? That she didn't graduate from Forrest Sherman? I know a number of people who fail to reach that particular requirement. She's considered disruptive and strange? How do we know that? The " self-appointed hall monitor" has selectively deleted the comments that would allow us to reconstruct the conversation. What does Alisa Allan have to do with this? How about Cindy Montagnaro? What does Dave Flick's obvious animosity toward Lucy Bond have to do with it? Why did Lucy defend this woman? People find her comments strange? Have any of you considered that Patrizia is a native Italian speaker, and uses english as a second language? Was Patrizia known to members of this group from the Allied Teen Club at AFSOUTH? Carney Park? Was she invited to this group by Max Devivo? Who attacked her, and why did they do it? Why has Patrizia Sammartino been singled out for banishment by the"hall monitor". It takes two to tango, why hasn't anyone else suffered the same punishment? Who is anyone in this group to punish anyone else? The woman is entirely inoffensive in my view, and I don't tolerate bullies well. I want this decision reversed because it gives all of us a bad name. If others don't think that's important, well, I would suggest they're not very thoughtful, and their manners and sense of fairness leave something to be desired. |
Comment History  | James, just pulled up a map of California. I'm not well versed in California geography, so I now know you are north of LA near San Francisco. The wife and her parents went out there last year and then up to the wine country. I hear it's beautiful up that way. Maybe if I find myself out there for an extended stay, we could meet for dinner or something. I would enjoy that. |
 | YES! Someone gets it!!!!! With all the daily bs we go thru in our lives is this really needed?! Let it be what it is and whoever she is can deal with it and the consequences. Remember there must be a "reason" this " started" so whatever it is must be dealt with by the "leader" of the pack so to speak. Isn't that what happens in real life? We may not like the outcome but we deal w it! Ok lunch over....gotta run back to "deal" with" it" hugs and positive energy to all ! No I'm not weird just staying positive! SMILE...... |
 | I am in Santa Cruz, just south of San Jose. I do go to LA once a year or so. Whazz up? |
| Hey James! I understand what you're saying. I don't want to get in that fight. And I really don't want to debate with Tom. I have read all of your comments and I think I would be comfortable in saying that I think you and I are on the same page. BTW, I will be heading out to LA on next Monday. We have a presentation for a project in Inglewood. You anywhere near there? If we get the project, I should be making some trips out to Cali from time to time. Love to hook up with some or you guys out that way. I've never been to California, if you can believe that!! |
| Thanks Dory, I'm not one for slinging mud and name calling. I come here to visit and read and enjoy about my ole friends from back in the day. I/we are too old for all this mess. I was hoping we could all just get along, but maybe it's beyond that. Plus, I'm a lover not a fighter and life's too short! |
Original Post | It's no problem. Just put Patrizia back in the group and cut the gratuitous authoritarian bullshit. Right now. Who do you think you are? Dislike the conversation? Tough shit. Don't read it. |
