Dear all,<br> I am curious at the degree of hostility that Brian appears to generate, purely by restating the (self-evident) fact that prejudice exists against...

Hi Will,<br>may I just respond to this, please, as you mention my incident with the colourful welshmen?<br>I do so anyway.<br>I have never implied, that that ...
Hi Tiff,<br> It is kinda wierd how some people ( non clefted ) are really understanding about some of the issues and others can be so callous. <br> Some of my...
Hey guys, c'mon - we have to keep Brian going. I personally can't wait until he's old enough to be "prostate challenged", then we'll really hear about it...
Hi,<br>really well said, couldn't have said it better, so just join in with your opinion.<br><br>Hm, and by the way Will, Tom, etc.,<br>so, it is alright, if ...
Tom's msg to Tiffany reminded me of the two kinds of "friends" I've had (regarding my cleft). There are those who, when they hear me being teased, just kind of...
I know I am lovable MOST of the time…have my bad days and sometimes hearing that someone is having a bad life and saying it is all the cleft’s faults ...
i think we can all relate to some degree of emotional distress due to our clefts. however, i have found that my biggest emotional hurdle in life is MY OWN ...
The problem I have is absolutely not that Brian is expressing his views, because you are right Tom, I have no idea what he has gone through or what may have...
There is "venting" and there is "making accusatory comments."<br>Brian not only posts his opinions, but also includes comments that "attack" most of the rest...
To be objective, I will say that I have no way to disprove that Brian is *not* a 'Carrier of Truth'.....but *IF* he is.._WHAT will he do once he proves himself...
Yeah, i agree. Thats basically what i was trying to say (dunno if it came across that way)...that the prob is too many people complaining and not tryin to find...
Dear all,<br><br>Just sharing something from the British side here. I did post graduate social work training in England and we got a lot of training on ...

If he came across without implying that it is ALL members of this club or all the members children who are feeling the same way as he is, then maybe he...
I would also greatly have to disagree on comparing clefts to blacks…I have several black male friends who can not walk down the street without people ...
Will,<br>I have a right to my opinions as much as Brian.<br><br>I know firsthand that there is prejudice out there. Been there done that. What I don't like...
I see alot of people say whos pretty and whos not, but then other people think the same person who was called ugly very beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the...
Hi everyone! Let me first say that even though I'm not around as often, between school and work and personal issues, I do lurk around here and you are all ...
Instead of feeling agry with him, I feel sorry for him. His conclusions are a result of not having a place where he felt accepted when he was younger. ...
What a shame about the Abby flap not giving you the results you wanted. :( I've heard many times that it is a very difficult operation. Even though I did have...
Brians posts can come across as somewhat overbearing and arrogant It is clear however from the focus of these posts that his manner is somewhat of a ...
Hi Ana,<br>After I noticed that the left side of my nose collapsed (about 2 years after a total rhinoplasty reconstruction) I was told that they might be able...
