Hi Tim, Thank you for your impassioned response. I’m pleased that my paper touched you and triggered your keyboard to erupt. I hope that you will not be tempted to invoice me for any resultant damage. :-) It’s interesting to note that you regularly provide therapy for victims of bullying and teasing. A few months ago, one of the poems that I contributed to the 2004 ISAD online conference was reproduced on a radio website in Australia in relation to a debate about bullying (as opposed to stuttering). Someone who stutters had previously read my poem and felt that it was relevant to the exchanges that were occurring on air. Here is the link: http://www.fiveaa.com.au/Article_Everyone-s-Different_103064 Although I wrote the poem (entitled ‘Everyone’s Different’) to help children gain a better understanding that everyone (not just those who stutter) is unique, the message it contains is applicable to persons of all ages. Kindest regards Alan
