I am not saying that people should swear, curse, or insult others; or that anyone does not have the ability to speak without insulting. That is quite clear. 

My point is:

1.  "Being offended" gets used for skulduggerous purposes like silencing and oppressing others (and their thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, knowledge), and for false moral elevation, much more often than it is genuine.  Even if it is genuine "being offended", people should learn to deal with it responsibly within themselves far more adequately than they currently do. 

2.  Those who silence people do more harm to individuals and society than those who call people names.



There is so much truth and happenings going on in this world, and in our society, and other societies, and throughout the astral planes, and in the greater spheres of reality beyond the astral planes, that cannot be spoken about due to people's obsession with "being offended" and having to silence/delete/block and needing to morally elevate themselves.

So much can only be hinted at or alluded to in the hope that it will get past the falsely morally elite to reach those who might benefit from it.

Believe it or not, this forum's spectrum of right and wrong does not run in line with the truest and most vertical spectrum of right and wrong - it is just one of many thousands of short and narrow spectrums of right and wrong, all of which assume themselves to be correct, and which run at varing degrees diagonally and contrary to the truest and most vertical.   

I think that's about all I'll say.

Perhaps we should all just Lighten up 

Ralph,
"Before my post, I read everything else posted. After wading through 4 pages and 46 posts, I found about 8 to be relevant to the topic and about 38 related to bickering. Though I find the whole ordeal rather humorous, I can relate to you Justin as being quite unhappy over the matter, especially since you asked for no comments to begin with."

Topics do divert, and even the OP said screw it. Connecting the dots further, being quite unhappy in the light of that is sad in an entirely different way. Wading through is as valid as skimming through, but the latter has a purpose of getting there whilst the first option is begging for status quo, with the hardship of reading through posts as the reason to reach that end.

Dude,
"Perhaps we should all just Lighten up? "

How many afterlife knowledge posters does it take to change a light bulb? None, too busy commenting the change of path in the topic about changes.

Wonderer,
"I'd hate (and I'm sure others too) to start reading a thread with a specific topic and then it leads to something else which is not relevant to what the OP had in mind of discussing..."

It leads to something else, which is a discussion of freedom of speech, banning and censorship. It does tie in with speaking about changes, or any other topic on this board. Highly relevant in that regard.

So anyways, to both hold and keep the line;

Earth changes, will it be accompanied by cha-cha dancing and the odd bit of stuttering?

  Relating to the last thing i said...  Thomas Campbell is one of those outer sources that i have found more beneficial than not--not to say that i think he is a He/She type yet and is free from mistakes or errors of perception, but i've often sensed he is a pretty wise and perceptive man who generally sees pretty clearly in many areas.

  Anyways, in his massive trilogy called "My Big TOE" and on his forum, he talks a little about this "Big Cheese" character, whom he clearly perceives as essentially more "male" or Yang in nature. 

  This Consciousness is a very expanded and mature one (meaning, very strongly and deeply attuned to Love), and seems to have been sort of "put in charge" of managing our Larger Consciousness system, though more in the spiritual and nonphysical sense than the physical. 

  Anyway, this Consciousness is also very powerful and even has the authority to even recycle other individual consciousnesses who are so lacking in Love and so chaotic, disruptive, and consistently ill intentioned. 

But he stresses that such extreme actions have been quite rare, and only done when absolutely necessary.   

   Otherwise, freewill is quite respected, and really the less mature a consciousness is, the more we should have the more patience and understanding towards--especially if they are being sincere and honest.   

  So there is a balance to maintain .  No one here to my mind crosses that extreme line as talked about with the Big Cheese.
