Yes, Tempest,
It is clear to me that there are difficulties with communication on this and the DK thread. DK was not attacked by many posters - read the initial posts and subsequent responses again (I did). Initially, Recoverer mentions that DK may not be as oppressed as she thought because of the length of her initial posts. Admittedly, this was a bit harsh, though not demeaning, but immediately, she (DK) signs off and says "I should have known better." What follows is honest, heartfelt advice from Recoverer, Augo and OOB dude. Some of it is Christ related, some isn't. All of the advice is given in a warm manner. Blink then says love will win out over fear - again out of more then ten followups to DK, there was only one initial somewhat sarcastic comment about the length of DK's post. You then have several posts from Spooky, Blink Dave and others who are then trying to help DK. What they are told by you, is that they are missing the point. That she has tried all these various routes of conquering her demons and did not want to hear about clinical routine help or christianity (who could have known she did not want to talk of this?) But still there is this tone started by DK and then you that the board and forum are somehow hostile and uncaring (please note, I have just summarized the first 2-3 pages of DK's thread, ommitting some discussions on christianity, but deliberately not ommitting any disparaging remarks I could find - there were none).
If DK or you want to start a discussion on a topic, or help, please feel free to post. However, reading through her thread, it becomes obvious that there was no unloving or hostile response. People were expressing themsellves, and overall 99% of the words were respectful of DK and her situation. Your comments then, that the members on Bruce's forum did not live up to his PUL message from his texts and writings were way out of line. If you can find any other comments in the first two to three pages of DK's thread that would justify your generalization about all of us, please let me know. I for one would be the first to admit when I over-react in a thread (and I hope you would too).
I did not decry you as a "sad" person, but I meant to explore your comment "does any of it really matter" when DaBears posted a real question about the Reptilians. To me the "does it really matter," sounded sad in its tone. I calls 'em like I sees 'em. That does not in any way mean that I consider you to be a sad individual. In any event, your comments were not, mean-spirited to me (although others may have seen it as such). My last two posts were meant to explore the nature of our understanding of the unity of all things and the subsequent need for action in the physical world. I have thought about creating a new thread to cover this topic, as I believe it is an important one.
I stand by my earliest comments to DK and you, which is; to state an opinion, engage, and ignore any disagreements thown your way (or the occasional immature comments). You can find other forums where no negativity is posted - Linn's forum is one of the most loving forums I have had the privilege of posting on....but here at Bruce's there are discussions on topic that you won't find quite anywhere else.
