I understand your reticence, though. If you would like to read my apology, the offer stands and you have my email address.Leia Organahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341131220110311912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756661334718188857.post-23080231870446621772010-06-21T11:06:56.305-05:002010-06-21T11:06:56.305-05:00Anji - I'm not sure exchanging e-mail addresse...Anji - I'm not sure exchanging e-mail addresses is wise right now. I think I'd prefer our conversations to be on here, or over on the Mothers for Women's Lib forum. Let's give it some time for everything to blow over.<br /><br />But I do appreciate you making yourself public, and perhaps we've all learnt a lesson from this debacle. I'll be more aware of who is reading my blog, and you won't be quite so quick to judge its content.<br /><br />Butterfly - You know how much I respect you, so thanks for standing up for me. You're keep me grounded, friend.Tina & Anthea Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193448835565337916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756661334718188857.post-19432681797899619012010-06-21T08:43:10.602-05:002010-06-21T08:43:10.602-05:00Tina, there's nothing to apologise for.
I fee...Tina, there's nothing to apologise for.<br /><br />I feel like someone needs to state the obvious. The Spoon Theory is an analogy, right? An analogy? How about the word ‘metaphor’? <br /><br />Just because it was created by a lupus sufferer (as far as I know but actually, its originator is irrelevant) doesn’t mean it is exclusive to those who are ill or disabled or whatever else you solely want to attach it to. Having an analogy that is exclusive to a certain group of people defies its purpose of being an analogy; a comparison, a metaphor – whatever you want to call it. The purpose of her theory – I would imagine – is to make it understandable for people who are not in her shoes. Why you think Tina can’t apply this metaphor to her own life and experience when it makes perfect sense to do so is beyond me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756661334718188857.post-66498662072160351952010-06-21T07:59:03.225-05:002010-06-21T07:59:03.225-05:00And not to spam you, but is there an email address...And not to spam you, but is there an email address I can contact you at please?

However, your title implied that Spoon Theory was for the taking by anyone disabled or non-disabled, who wanted to use it - which is simply not right. I'm sorry if I've caused you upset; I actually stated in the conversation I was having on Twitter/Facebook that I'd been too hasty in my reaction.Leia Organahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341131220110311912noreply@blogger.com
