Reply #76: Unfortunately, [View All]

bobbolink has lashed out more than once with the notion that "if you don't help me specifically you are undeserving of praise/deserving of wrath", which is not only wrong but hateful. You apparently weren't there when she denounced clergy for http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2692542#2697451">speaking up for gays because they weren't speaking up for her at the same time, then made the outrageous claim that no gay person has ever helped her in any way (apparently she knows the charitable giving records of every one of us somehow). Now she bashes H4H, a wonderful charity, because she's not eligible for their services. I suppose bobbolink would think Mother Theresa was dirt because MT never did anything specifically for her.

Lashing out at everyone is not the way to get people on her side. Screaming "you don't deserve anything because YOU don't do anything for ME" is not going to win any support or sympathy, nor any empathy.

And please don't tell me I know nothing of need and the search for services. I've experienced plenty of it myself, and I've worked in the human service field for nearly 20 years including several in a family shelter, 20 with adults with developmental disabilities and 5 with adults with mental illnesses.
