    Sorry to disappoint, it's just little old me! the cable company cut off my internet, so I'm stealing wifi from my neighbor which is very slow and which cuts me off a lot of the time.

    Mike why don't you pm me so we could exchange emails and discuss this further without the limitations of a private forum.

    Just a thought.

    Well so far 16 people have voted for those 'appearing to NOT be in alignment with the purpose/energy of the forum' to be banned.

    Seeing as though those 16 are in the minority and so not in alignment with the rest - should they not be banned themselves?

    Dear Mr Chinaski,

    It is because you belittled Andywight's sense of right and wrong and the fact that he is standing up for that. By making a joke; making his integrity out to BE a joke in your estimation. In that he should be, to be in 'correct alignment' as far as you are intimating, writing posts about his new cat, girfriend or recently bought thigh toner machine or something quite irrelivant rather than what he genuinely finds important. And you were making it to be something we should be laughing at. THAT'S WHY. And not only that but the mods supported the intimation. All about energy and intent huh? sheeeesh.

    Yeah... I happened to be hanging out there today. It was quite something. Some seriously rude comments by someone who got banned for it. For how long I don't know but it was bad enough to be pretty much unrepeatable - extremely abusive and disrespectful [aimed at myself may I just add]. And there were some other people having issues I did not read. Full moon or something apparently!!!!

    Moderation is necessary for a well functioning forum, and I think our moderators do a fantastic job. Free thinkers have difficulty with moderation, imo, but all opinions need to be expressed in an open and respectful manner. I don't think that is too much to ask of its members.

    The moderation overthere is great, but things got heated and they wisely closed the forum for a short while to let people calm down. Better than permanently banning them all!

    There are situations where it is necessary to let go of ones own opinions for the greater good.
    and thats no big deal.

    A Course In Miracles says

    "The moment you take up a position know that you are identifying with an illusion"

    Unfortunately not so many people get that.

    I respect the stand that Nexus is taking over a few persistent gladiators who need an audience for their disputes.

    I also have a respect for the moderators here---no easy job

    However but for the grace of God there go I

    If I had a persons genes their upbringing their personal history I would act exactly the same as them in the circumstances that they find themselves in.

    I would also point out that the whole human race and mother earth and all planets in our solar system are being greatly affected by incoming energy attributed to the comet or planet x

    I would point out that the tides (water) are affected by the moon so are people (Lunacy =lunar)
    Our body is 90% water so if you think you are not affecte by an incoming energy think again

    I sugest that we all try to be reasonable and try not to react in a knee jerk fashion to real or imagined grievances.
    Realize when your buttons are being pushed it is your buttons. (pain Body)
    Mine have been too

    Eckhart Tolle in the "Power of Now" wrote there would be increased madness and that we are on the verge of the biggest step forward in the evolution of mankind since we left the ocean--- that is massive.

    Other are now saying the same

    Please be kind to all life including your own no matter what.

    I fail often but that is my intention.

    I dont know what brought that peaceful rant on but it may have some value.

    Chris
    Be kind to all life, including your own, no matter what!!

    I did not post the link to Nexus to have a discussion about what happened on that forum. That is their business and not ours, imo.

    My intent was to accent the point that moderation is necessary for a well run forum, no matter which one it may be...and that we are not the only forum around that has issues with moderation.

    Free speech is one thing...personal attacks are another. It's easy to get over-enthusiastic about one's point of view and defending it...and sometimes difficult to see how it comes across to others.

    Yes. Well. I just cancelled my Nexus membership. I have never been abused like that over here and I don't ever expect to be. This place has its problems and its faults but at least it is peacefulish.

And you were making it to be something we should be laughing at. THAT'S WHY. And not only that but the mods supported the intimation. All about energy and intent huh? sheeeesh.
    It is the disingenuous nature of the OP's original post. THAT is the fuel for the fire, not Andy as a human being. The original post is yet another (yawn) thinly-veiled, side-door attack on Bill and the mods. The poll is laughably flawed (one option should have been "Get Bill!"), and quickly the real intent - trumpeting for Chicodoodoo - was revealed.

    Anyone paying even a slight bit of attention knows that Chicodoodoo asked for changes he wanted to see (that the mods. admins, and Bill were not in favor of, i.e., allowing virtually anything to be posted, regardless how much of the community's time and energy is sapped from our REAL reasons to be gathered here), and refused to take no for an answer. So, he started another forum, where he could do as he wished. But (as far as I know), his life force has been diverted from such things as the admirable "People United" pledge and onto the Get Bill! bandwagon. Like the jaws of a Pit Bull, dragging the entire Avalon forum down by refusing to let go and move on - move BACK - to important subjects.

    I see no indication that Chicodoodoo is going to let up. I hope he does, and gets back on-track with the People United concept and moves forward. Otherwise, unless he wants to be accused of being a phony, he should change the name to People United As Soon As Bill Is Eviscerated, because that certainly seems to be his major issue in life right now. And Andy, you have posted nothing whatsoever to indicate you have any sincerity in overcoming the reign of the Global Rulers or anything remotely helping mankind, so don't be surprised when no one comes running to assist you in your one-track, Avalon denigrating mission.

    The admins and mods have mostly light housekeeping duties on almost all of the forum - until yet another thread that attempts to steal the energy of the entire forum appears. Pretending these issues have urgency is like complaining about what awful food you had for breakfast while you're on a battlefield with bombs exploding around you.

    Make a list of the 100 most important issues of our time on this Earth. No, this is not rhetorical, I'm asking anyone who thinks that bitching about former members (some who are self-proclaimed superstars but lack any evidence) of Avalon is one of the 100 or even 1000 most important issues of our short journey through this incarnation to actually make a list. If this is on your list, go start another forum and rant about it. We are ready to move on. We have other things to do, more important work to attend to.

    Dennis

    p.s. I'm personally very fed up with wasting time. I have a sense of urgency. You can look for me closing threads like this when they appear. I'm closing this one right now.
