well, ive had a rotton frw days with almost constant RLS, but this just made my day,
hi elisse, i just went and left my comment on the apology, and saw your suggestion about them giving us a chance to say something, great idea, so i put a comment near my first one on there, to second your suggestion
Maybe she will do a better article herself...i thought i would just plant the idea for her to mull over....
Everyone is doing flips. That is why I always say it pays to speak up! The page is now missing about 200 comments, but that is another issue and we DO want equal space for a factual explanation of RLS. Most US newspapers will do that. The apology is good, and they are still getting emails to te editors which are better than comments now on their web site. The apology was a nice surprise, no matter how carefully worded it was. If they/she truly are sorry, they will give a pro RLS view some space. But, now with the apology up, we will look like jerks, except if we ask nice for the paper to be fair and have something written that truly is RLS since it is RLS Awareness month. They don't want to look like they are being mean to a charitable organization(s).
Whoop Whoop!!
..... and speak up we did! There was absolutely no alternative but to do so.
