Too bad there wasn't like a full proof ebay rating system for members versus just threads. All you got is like total posts to go by and your own discretion to what that person has already said.

we DO have a reputation rating

if you want to approve or disapprove someone's posting ethics or whatever you can do so by clicking on the scale icon next to the report button

You got a good reputation with me now for pointing that out. I kind of like it, even though it can get to be shallow after a while haha. I guess it's just like everything else in life, it must be used in balance, everything always comes back to balance it seems.

May I also add, just like in real life it's easier to gain positive polarity in a negative society, dealing with the bs from the bs posters helps build character when dealing with those who don't share your optimism.

Is there something wrong with people who don't think like you? Or is it beautiful that the fact that others have their own opinions that are not like yours at all?

Totally agree. Definitely a quality dip. Way too much ranting. Not enough discernment. Too much wild speculation. And some axe grinding.

Change does happen. Morph with it.

Why do people want to "clean it up"?
The dirt is what I need to perfect my skill of seeing these nasty parasites.

The purpose of this forum has been clearly stated.

People posting here should respect that. It's about helping the ground crew. Not inviting everyone to "prove it to you".

Do your own discerning, and let others do theirs.

I see very little value in posting that this or that is all BS. Just about everything has some truth and some fiction included.

That's where discernment comes in.

On a positive note,

As an Avalon researcher with an interest in traditional
farming techniques I just ran across the
Alfred R Mann Library of Core Historical Literature of
Agriculture.

What a score this was! These are full text books online.

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!

Those of you who are further along are expected to help
those who are just beginning. Those of you who are unable or unwilling to participate as a teacher or student
are excused to run and play.

Its all good Tom/Pilgrim.

I will admit that when reading a post, spelling errors do take some of the wind from the sails. Who listens to a mental deficient?

I hope people see the message, not just the content.

Sometimes it really does help to close your eyes and try to feel the one behind the words. Often they dont match. What seems negative can be a cry for help or depression from a brother or sister. One that seems positive and full of light may in fact be a dark force. I have seen some examples of both here.

Im finished posting on Avalon. Too much bad vibes for me, ill leave it up to the more evolved.

I totally agree with you and I will not argue with that, as I was making a statement and not asking for proof of anything.

Sorry if you thought I was talking to you. It was just a bit of a rant.

Mizar · 10-09-2008, 02:44 AM

Roger that Pilgrim, most of the "sub prime" posters have only posted in the single digits, spelling errors are common, and it does seem like there's a boiler room out there somewhere posting fluff to keep us from getting to the good posts.
The first two weeks were Magic, all top Q posters getting their stuff out, people who knew their stuff after learning and experiencing pretty much on their own for 10-20 years.
Now you don't know who is reading your posts, and a lot of Quality stuff gets slammed right away by someone with a short record of contributions. Almost None of the original quality posters have ever 'dissed a post contributed by someone else, and before many backed up their posts with a link to an article or factoid somewhere.
Now that I have vented, I must say that all of the posts/contributions are here for all, newb or Veterano, I hope that every visit to CA is a good one for all who want to learn more and increase their value on the Earth's crust, No question is a bad one, ( use Search tool first) there is more to come in the future.
