> This is exactly what I anticipated when I read Eliz's post and and that's why it bothered me so. It was an invitation to bring up the same arguments, even by the same people. And the bait was taken.
I'm not sure I'd see these last couple posts in these terms, but in general, with so many fish here, I'm afraid it's unlikely that bait will go untouched...
> It is amazing to me that some people feel that Sal has an obligation to discuss his diagnosis with the members of the board. Wrong now, and it was wrong the other dozen times it's been brought up. At what point could this be considered harrassment?
It's complicated. I agree that no one has any obligation to discuss their diagnosis, though of course they're free to do so if they wish. As far as people discussing someone else's diagnosis -- or possible diagnosis -- I think while sometimes it's accusatory, sometimes it does come from concern.
These last couple posts seemed OK to me, but I agree we need to watch where this leads. How does that sound?
