[nfbwatlk] A Day of Frustrations!

[Kaye Kipp]

Maybe this person needs a heavy dose of NFB philosophy.  He/she  ought to 
come to our convention or to a literature seminar to find out what it's all 
about.  I'd give that person the strongest piece of philosophy I could.  And 
you're right.  That kind of behavior does nobody any favors.  In fact it's 
downright despicable.
