[Vision2020] The Doug Stambler Experience

[Janesta Carcich]

For shame! SHAME on you!  I remember him quite well.
When I saw his posts,  or anyone elses I don't care
for, I would "click" and he would be gone. *snapping
my fingers* Just like that.

I suggest if you don't like a particular person, you
ignore them, or put their mail on block, if you are
incapable of doing it mentally.

To make fun of someone with a real or what you
perceive to be mental illness is nothing short of
insensitive and rude.
