    Default My name is Borden

    Hello, I am here to egotistically pronounce my presence as a purveyor of spiritual wisdom.

    I have a mission to give some money to a sweet shop, and I will say little more about this other than to vaguely suggest that it comes from God and you'd better not doubt it. Anyone who doubts me will get visions of ill fortune. Be warned.

    I will post utter waffle in the name of gratifying my ego, and will positively bubble with joy when I attract the hopelessly witless who suddenly treat me with abject awe because I have written an introductory post that says very little other than that I know stuff.

    I will be happy to engage in petty arguments, and will leave my love and light by the door when I do so. My spiritual wisdom does not extend to magnanimity.

    Furthermore, I will post dire prognostications and even pictures of a world figure who I know to be very old and in poor health. I will do this claiming that I have had a vision of his imminent death. I have checked with book-makers, and I feel this to be a fair bet.

    Lastly, I will insult a woman who suffered personal tragedy, and I will post a private message here on the forum. I will publicly prove what a nasty little twit I am, and hope that the attention this garners will in some way gratify me further.

    Oops.

    (Okay, that channel session is over, thank you for your kind donations ... I'm back. OPEN YOUR EYES. It disgraces this forum to see such people garner so much attention. I felt physically sick to see people treat this person with adoration and respect. He merely stated ridiculous things about himself ... and you all ran and followed him. For shame.)

    Borden

    (By the way, if you all send me a buck we can get rid of the Illuminati, okay?)

    No, my friend. I'm sorry, but this is healthy.

    If you knew me you'd understand that I'm really laughing. This is not about malice or ill will. I have actually lost sleep about that idiot ... hoping he's okay. This is about not being taken in by utter rubbish. That is a worthy concern.

    It's not about him ... my thoughts are with him, believe it or not. But the greater need, as far as I'm concerned, is that any old fool cannot come here and garner a following based on specious claims and obviously disingenuous talk. Do you see?

    Thanks for this post it has given me a real good chuckle this morning, and you make a very important point it is lovely to be part of a nurturing loving forum that doesn't regularly mock the veiws or thoughts of others, but that is also no reason to blindly follow every word that is typed in here, especially by someone who is unknown

    I really feel you are abusing this avalon forum. If you don't like/agree/accept something/someone, why not say nothing and move on to things you are interested in? Why not set us all a shining example and "be the change you want to see in the world?"

    Hey borden,
    A fellow Freman hear.
    I loved the post mate you got a cracking sense of humour.
    And i like the message behind it too.
    Most people will just moan but I guess there the ones who are following these "spiritual" leaders lol.
    I hope to make some similar posts soon.
    The more these people are identified, the less likely they are at catching the nieve.
    Let's hope fellow Freman bull**** slayers agree.

    You (Mulder) came all the way to his thread to chastise him?
    Did he really violate the sanctity of this church?
    Do friends have to constantly justify their attempts at expression?
    Isn't the nature of nurturing to nurture and not to immediately lash out?

    Say nothing? move on? that's not "being the change"
    There's no need to be mean sure but borden is only (IMO) being true to himself

    Borden,

    Your point is very well taken. Although, I think Avalon deserves a lot of credit here. We're getting quicker.

    This latest three ring circus didn't last very long before it was run out of town.

    And when the next one comes, with even brighter lights and an even harrier bearded lady, chances are we'll be quicker still.

    We all have different ways of expressing ourselves. I really appreciate Borden's insights...and humour!

    I think Borden's anger was well-placed. And it is good that he said he is, at the same time, wishing Pila well.

    There are a lot of wise and soft natured people here. I am glad that some are unafraid to call out those who would take advantage of this.

    Just goes to show, one can administer what looks like harsh judgement, for the benefit of everyone...including the person they are disagreeing with.

    I am sure we all wish Pila well, we are all learning...together, from one another.
