Delete Irrelevant Posts

[Kulapops]

3.DARE to say NO to Narcissistic Luciferian Elitists!

Erm... No !!

Or should that be ... Noooooooooooooo !

Having a thread where I can delete anyone's response if I don't like it seems extremely narcissistic and elistist to me. Do you see the irony here, Thinker?

Someone else who is interested in your thread might agree with my point of view even if you don't.

Take this post for example. Would you get out the cutting room scissors now? Would anyone ever know that I disagree ?

I'm playing devil's advocate here, not saying that having 'what if' threads is not an excellent idea.. in fact you could spawn a real brain-child this way. But censorship is not the way to rid the world of idiots and the uninformed. Why, your brilliance would not shine so brightly without them,

forgiveness and understanding is paramount.
so rather than threads being moderated by the op, i suggest that people think before they post and see that there is someone on the other side of the computor.

it is sad that many people online treat others with extreme disrespect.

we are all supposedly awake and enlightned people...frustrates me when lack of compassion fills a post..


i dissagree with the OP but i do think the threads need more monitoring ..

Did you ever see that Twilight Zone episode where a child had absolute power to delete anyone and everything that did not agree with him? It wasn't long before everyone that was left in his world was in complete agreement with him. Not much of a world to experience was left.

I think that was in the movie....But i agree that is a good analogy here

Is what the OP refers to censorship? sounds like it. Though it pulls on the anarchical side too if you ask me.

Thinker: The closest thing to what you referred to in post 16 under "half measure" is the existing reputation system, it allows members to let the author of any post know how it jives with them without doing so in open forum or pm.

This thread has been more educational than I anticipated.

“We don’t relate to others as they are, we relate to others as we are.”

In the above posts I hear the fallowing:

• Fear of being responsible
• Fear of being dominated
• Fear of entering the Twilight Zone
• Fear of dictatorship
• Fear of being deleted for disagreeing
• Fear of loosing control
• Fear of being out of control
• Fear of loss of freedom
• Fear of being censored

I see two shining stars who know how to communicate responsibly. Thank you.

I think I’m going to look for something more productive to do with my time.

Thank you all for your honest and uncensored opinions. It’s been very educational.

I don't hear or perceive any of these things. Perhaps this is because one cannot perceive that with which one lacks resonance.

Taken to the extreme why limit censorship to mere posts? Why not delete entire threads? Or better yet scrub entire topics. Heck, why stop there! Obliterate entire categories! If such cleansing is insufficient then one can initiate total and complete eradication of perspectives one finds less than up to par simply by banning or revoking membership of all offending souls. Of course one can avoid all these distressing "off topic" comments by simply ending membership in forums and opting to write a book instead. But that might be perceived as a bit extreme as such action only affects one solitary being whereas censorship, of necessity, requires subjugation of the whole to the dictates of the few.

[Kulapops]

Yep.. and I spot another common one in your list, Thinker...

'fear'...

it doesn't have to be that way... but you're right... everything is reflections.. we can't see anything we don't know in ourselves. Which is pretty cool, because we're all one anyway. As soon as we realise that the struggle is within, not without...well, we get to know ourselves better at least. Actually, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks, does it? So why remove posts at all? Do negative posts affect us? Should they?

[Celine]

I agree kulapops..

Fear...one of the hardest "states of mind", imo..to balance.

Does negativity affect us? i would say yes...

should it? well.. thats another topic ..

Its a good book and a great Simpson episode as well.

Sorry OP, I can't agree with the idea.

I still believe the idea behind a forum should be the exchange of ideas between "experts" or people with a common goal. (fill that in as you want)
Fora are just current day incarnations of the greek forum. Wich was an open debate.

I think if you want to get away from the concept of open debate, that communication through blogging would be better suited.

That's an absolute brainwave Pan. Great idea. Why didn't I think of that?? One way communication to the masses.

I still don't understand why I use a forum. But I like the greek analogy. I can just see me poncing about the pantheon in me toga... telling anyone who will listen my uniformed opinion on everything.

Imagine... a dissenter in the crowd...to which I cry.. " Euuh..will someone please remove this commoner from the floor.. or Ei shell hef to take me o-pin-ions elsewhere!"

Love this life...

Do you know the difference between “acting” and “reacting”?

Are you able to recognize the difference when you are the one “acting” or “reacting”?

Acting is when knowledge and wisdom guide your actions.
Reacting is when you’re conditioning and programming controls your actions.

Examples:
The way sleeping people respond to the words “conspiracy” or “anarchy”. Don’t play dumb, you know what I’m talking about.

These people have no awareness their actions are the result of conditioning.

Remember the movie Dr. Strangelove. The General ordering a nuclear strike on Russia is blaming Fluoride in the drinking water. Who wants to take the position of a crazy General in a movie called Dr. Strangelove? You’d have to be a nutter to think there was a problem with Fluoride. The result of that conditioning has Fluoride in drinking water all over the West.

Have we been conditioned to react? Yes. Have we recognized our conditioning and accepted responsibility for it? You decide.

Are the posts here the result of acting or reacting? You decide.

[Decibellistics]

Agreed. Thinker. Action versus reaction

The jungle picture is hinting towards anarchy ya know

The best way to tell I believe a reactionary instance, would be your gut.
Your stomach may feel as if someone is trying to tear out your intestines......if you act on that emotional signal, you are actually reacting to a chemical response in your brain and a frequency being emitted from a person. Therefore limiting the ability for a hasty reaction based on the feeling you receive from a statement all in all will be a benefit.

There are people out there that also attempt to pull these reactions from people on purpose....this is called being an energy vampire.....they get off on that gut feeling, whereas most people, it makes them feel sick. They often times make people feel bad i.e. guilt trips, passing judgement, twist a situation to their own benefit in an attempt to make the people around them feel stupid....things of the such.

I dunno......As long as you all know that you are already dead.......none of this really matters. If you don't like a situation, you are free to leave it as you please without regret or recrimination. Death is a hell of an ally. He let's you know what's necessary.

I Like this post... Hmmmmmmmm..... Acting w/ knowledge..... Reacting with .......

Everything needs to be balance..

Thinking and Feeling go hand in hand.

and then it will be taken down twisted around and used in evidence against you.

******************************************************************

Part of an open forum is debate. I cannot see the advantage of deleting responses to my threads.

What if what I am trying to convey is flawed? Wouldn't it be in my interest to have this pointed out?


If I didn't want opinions I may as well Blog (talk to a brick wall) in that case.

Hell Thinker

Smacks of censorship to me or perhaps this post is irrelevant.

Love and peace to you my friend. JP

[Thinker]

You all seem so bold when you are anonymous.

How bold are you with your freedom of speech in public?

My invitation is being ignored. Have you lost your nerve?

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...tomatic-Weapon

Not one of you has considered that I am talking about editing (like editing a video) not censorship. You assume I'm talking about censorship because you fear that, not because I have done that. If my intention was censorship, I would not have made the suggestion, because I would have known in advance you would not accept that nor would I.

"Have you lost your nerve?", you ask. Do please set an example by posting your full name, and real photo. We'd all be interested to see it.

I have already.

I bet you don't.

I think you are intentionally not getting it.
I and a few others already explained to you that a forum is an open debate.

If you want to edit posts, you are dealing with a wikipedia type of structure.
If you want full control of the information then you need a blog.

I'd even go a little bit further and say that none of your posts had any relevance after your opening post.
So excuse me for having some doubts about your motivations.

Instead of offering empty rhetoric try having a normal talk.
And I'm not being mean, just calling it as I see it.

Have a really good day.
