I got to your page via a link on another blog http://www.theagitator.com/2010/06/29/late-afternoon-links-2/<br />"Almost enough to make me want to turn in my humanity membership card. What pointless cruelty." Well, they're Libertarians over there and eat up stories about TSA abusing citizens.Duncan20903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831186914102885023.post-45453545973900706482010-06-29T22:49:44.170-04:002010-06-29T22:49:44.170-04:00Peggy, please consider the possibility that you we...Peggy, please consider the possibility that you were not attacked by trolls but rather shouted down by apologists for the TSA. The story was just starting to get legs when you removed it. Your detailed first hand report was much more gripping than the summary presented by ACA. Restoring the story would be a great way to take a stand. Of course if you don't want to use this blog for political activism that's perfectly legitimate. But someone needs to hold the TSA's feet to the fire. <br /><br />I suggest that amputees traveling without children with them go to the airport plenty early to allow time to educate screeners and their management. Simply refuse all bizarre and disgusting requests.johnlichtensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314460340718826535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831186914102885023.post-24221459304891808992010-06-29T21:56:00.097-04:002010-06-29T21:56:00.097-04:00Tina,

Clearly they have nothing better to do than try to bring people down and make them feel as bad as they do themselves. Thankfully they will never be able to do that to you. You are an inspiration. I admire your determination and strength. Keep on writing!

I do suspect that what you got was more flaming than trolling, though. Both can be done non-rudely. I suspect that was not the case here.<br /><br /> I recommend that you google "Flame Warriors" (hilarious and informative) and if brave enough, spend some time at Encyclopedia Dramatica.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831186914102885023.post-46108321903717841882010-06-29T15:08:39.196-04:002010-06-29T15:08:39.196-04:00it saddens me to think that my son will also recei...it saddens me to think that my son will also receive 'brainless' comments that you have gotten. But they are best ignored, you can't argue with idiots :0) Yesterday I took my twins to the YMCA which has a big pool with diving boards and slides. Usually the first few times are hard to deal with as my son pops off his leg and hops up two flights of stairs (which he does without thought) or hops on a diving board (which is terrifying to watch as a mom because with each hop the board sends him higher and higher till he gets to the end) Usually we have the kid stares--the what happened to you or the little girls or boys in a group saying ewww and whispering about him. This year I only noticed one little boy, who didn't say a word but just watched as my son slipped his leg on to go to the bathroom (which I suspect was his wanting to go check out the vending machine) In fact an amazing thing has happened since last year--my preteen's hormones have kicked in lol. I watched as both my twins showed off for bikini clad teenage girls, and I watched as my one legged son leaned on a fence waiting his turn to hop off the diving board, while leaning he was talking to girls and they were talking with him--not about his leg--about how cool he was on the diving board! I know we won't go the whole summer at a public pool without someone saying something, we are surrounded by children there, but for the first time, the first swim was a pleasant one without remarks or major stares :0)tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353430450917029284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831186914102885023.post-28575030658570462212010-06-29T11:46:48.913-04:002010-06-29T11:46:48.913-04:00Keep writing.
