    Default I am done.

    Administrators please unsuscribe from this forum. I am done. I have been on this forum since day one but I no longer resonate with it.

    Good bye Avalon!

    Edit, thanks Fred S for helping me make up my mind!

    HI MargueriteBee

    I have seen your avatar pics for a long time, and it would be I think helpful if you would explain you reason, other than resonate, and with what, or which direction you don't like, it really would be helpful to know

    my regards to you

    Hi MargueriteBee, I'm new and don't really know you very well but would like to hear more from you. Wouldn't it be better to wait a little and decide later if you really want to burn your bridges. I'm sure you'll be missed. x

    just seen your last comment in the Nigella thread. They were being really silly and pathetic. Glad Lord Sidious contributed some intelligent comments! There are far more people on the forum who would not have made those types of comments especially after what you told them had happened to you, I'm sure. Unfortunately, they weren't there at the time. Please stay!

    Take a break, do it silently, posts like this crack me up... if you don't resonate why even announce your leaving? I don't get the modivation behind these types of posts, it reminds me of my 9 yr old throwing a fit.

    Can't believe the insensitivity! Can't you see MargueritaBee is upset. Read the Nigella thread. She has been through something terrible and all you can say is that?


    Just seen MB that Nairnia was also in agreement with you and another member, sorry can't remember his name. You're not alone.

    Yup, I read it and replied. I've delt with (helped, counciled, married, dated) somany women in your exact situation, you even admited it... you have issues to deal with and are projecting on others.

    sorry, I celibrate my sexuality & it is always a give (and give and give) and take (what is openly given) relationship with a partner. It is nobel to overcome these "urges" but also you deny your own humanity (& a part of the whole reason we are here) by suppressing them.

    Find a libra you can trust and have some conversations, if your blocked use a intoxicant of some sort to release; you will be much happier when you find and move past this lesson in your life.

    Look can we get back to being smutty. I spend all my time on serious stuff, this is extremely funny!
    Couldn't agree with this more... I see harmless fun & no victems besides those who choose to be one.

    does this make me insensitive? well Intent is key and that is not my intent, there is rebuke here but for good reason.

    Is this (edit: the original posting) worthy of a thread here? No. Is it hateful? No. I think all should respect your stance on this, you don't have a problem, just a view that differs. In the interest of fairness, there are also women who use men in their thoughts, but of course, nowhere near as many men who use women in their thoughts!

    Also, be aware that our natural sexuality HAS been twisted and subverted as yet another control mechanism. There is nothing wrong with sex, it is, after all, the closest we come in the physical realm to divine union.

    I wouldn't worry too much about her being put out of order by anything LS. I have a hunch she's just a tad bit behind her own subconcious curve. Leaving Avalon is likely to be getting mixed up with leaving something else.

    I'm feeling it all too.

    Stuff is building up and there are things to do and places to go.

    I'm sure she's doing fine, and all the better for cutting out the trash that was probably loading her down before even getting going.

    I always liked her input and always felt she was sound as a pound.

    Do we not have choices in what we want to read or view? If something is offensive, move past it. Why such hostility over such a silly video. Yes, I find it offensive and funny at the same time. I still believe Avalon is a great resource of useful and enlightening knowledge.

    I didn't watch the video because I can't access youtube. Even if I could I probably still wouldn't have watched it, as I find her and her family rather offensive. (During the 80's the British satirical magazine "Private Eye" ran a cartoon strip called Dan Dire, in which Nigel Lawson was depicted as a loathsome alien called Blubba-the-gut. Highly appropriate, and I find it difficult to think of him in any other way)

    Observing what's happened over the past 12 hours or so is fascinating.

    Others have already stated that the thread was posted in an off-topic, private area, so what's the problem ?
    Do we really want a forum where people are scared to speak for fear of offending someone ?
    No doubt I will sometimes say something which another person chooses to find offensive, just as I've sometimes been offended by what others have said. Does that mean they don't have the right to speak ?

    Bring on the humour, as smutty and offensive as you like ! As we read about children being run over by callous drivers, as the story of NATO's "liberation" of Libya continues to unfold and as the USA stands poised to invade Pakistan and trigger WWIII don't we need a little something to make us smile ?

    Hope may be in short supply for some just now, but I doubt that "offensive and smutty humor" is really going to bring on many genuine smiles.
    Discernment in what we share with others is just as important as discernment in what we choose to view.
    When hope is dimmest is when we need to shine our lights all the brighter.
    My hope is that it's been a learning experience for everyone.

    Sorry to see you go MarBee
    ,
    I want you to know I admire you for your conviction to stand your ground without reams of rationalization for you stance. Unlike so many others responding to your posts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder what this means about them, their thoughts, perceptions, fantasies, experiences, compassion and generally what one deems funny over what one does not!!!

    Just as you have been told it is your stuff, I would venture to say don't worry as their responses hold their stuff!!!
