Just leaving a note and saying thanks for the posts.

Well I just had to see now :) Hi Scott!! hey nice profile

Continuation from Toni.
I have to assume that her anger is displaced and she is very angry about diabetes in general. Jeff's response to me was basically "What do you want me to do about it?" and a lukewarm thread about accepting newcomers. I will be checking out what can be done about cyber-bullying. It is a murky area, which is why these Parents may be correct, that they can hide behind the anonymity of the Internet.

Scott, there is no longer any reason for you to get involved. It was my niece. It ever occurred to me she would log on as she shuns anything diabetes-related. I did post a thread about parental responsibility in response to the "troll" thread. There are MANY who responded who knew me from the chat. All responses were negative, basically telling me I was either the "troll" (and I can forgive the posters who believed they were talking to an adult). However, many posters knew they were talking to a child, and just chalked it up to her being poorly brought up and ill behaved. She is inappropriately angry at the LITTLE things about D (such as when someone in the media cracks a job about D). Contrast that with her responsible behavior in living with D and her vocalizations to us that it is "no big deal." Will continue on another email.
