The following statements you made towards me:

“sleep with less than ten people a week...I know this may be hard for you at first, but try slowly to ween yourself off of being permiscuous for the sake of your genitals”

“perhaps you should refrain from having children...the advice you give is a testament to your lack of good genetics”

“she (in reference to me) has permiscuous raunchy unrestrained sex and she thinks this is sacred”

+

referring to maybe four different knowflakes as sociopaths.

-- do not meet that minimum standard of behaviour.

I also believe, judging by your chart (but I cannot be certain since I do not know you personally) – that you are aware of the fact that your behaviour on LL has been entirely out of place on a number of occasions – which includes your most recent behaviour towards me.

My only explanation is that you do not take LL seriously, and you do not take the rules concerning social interaction on LL seriously – and further that you do not take the posters here seriously as actual persons with actual lives.
I assume we are all nicknames to you and this is a setting to “blow off steam” .. and play games or “stir the pot”.

Somehow I have a very hard time imagining that a Capricorn man (who has no recognized psychological illnesses or neurological deficiencies) would behave in a similar obnoxious manner in a social setting which he did take seriously.
Perhaps I am putting too much emphasis on the astrology here - but somehow that is beyond the realms of my imagination.

You must simply think this is a BIG playground for you and that your words have no consequences in the real world.
I felt I should inform you that unfortunately words CAN have real consequences… whether they are written or spoken.
The difference is in RL you know exactly who you are dealing with and who you are insulting, whereas in this setting you have absolutely no clue who your insults are directed at. Considering the fact that you have posted pictures and videos of yourself left, right and centre - an element of caution regarding the way in which you present yourself - would probably be wise (which is an opinion and NOT an advice).

I know it doesn't really matter, but I just wanted to put in my two cents.

I came here a long time ago. I just kept on reading and reading the forum, not posting, because I didn't know much back then and I was absorbing information. The people here were amazing! It was the best online community I have ever "met". And I loved... Linda, whose spirit was present here.
Somehow, this changed.

Why would you leave if there was a problem between people that is now being addressed?
There is no place on earth that does not have issues between people.
Randall has made LL AS safe,warm and loving as a human community filled with flawed people can be.
I really don't understand, Maira.
Utopia will only come in Heaven
I feel personally offended that you would insult LL in this way.
I must say this even though I have fond feelings to you,personally as you know.

Your views are much appreciated here.

I likewise appreciate Road's perspective on things, whether I agree with it or not, and I often find his astrological insights interesting. I would actually love it if Road managed to get his points across without insulting others. That way I could focus on his points, rather than the surrounding aggression.

I do not appreciate his accusations, his insults and his instigating behaviour.
This is really not acceptable on this website.

Raji - If you do think this is acceptable behaviour - Why is it that you do not engage in it yourself?
I have never seen you insult other knowflakes, So you must be aware that this goes against the rules of this site, not to mention common decency.

.it dosent matter what others say...Let them have their say..just ignore them

I am not entirely sure that either you or Road understood what I was saying in the first place, in the initial thread.
I am actually not even sure that you have read the thread, judging by your reply.

quote:

I too understand the reason behind your being rude.I too dont get to see many people who acknowledge what you said as the most profound thing(about abstinance

---

So you are basically saying that you understand the reason behind Road's rudeness... Then you are saying that the *reason* is that his words regarding abstinence are spiritual and profound - and that anyone who has any other opinion deserves such rudeness.
Is that correct? Or am I misinterpreting?

Since this is a public forum, people with different viewpoints need to co-exist, and there is no good reason to justify rudeness, taken to this extent.

---

Regarding abstinence (since you brought it up) - I think the choice to abstain from sex can be a step on a person's way to spiritual awakening (if this is the point they are at and if this is something they feel they need to do). However I also believe sex itself can be a step on the same pathway (ironically! or not...)

And further - and most importantly - I believe, all the choices we make are right for us as long as we make those choices for healthy reasons.

For instance - fear - is not a healthy reason to make a choice. I am not saying this to imply anything. I am genuinely pointing it out - because in my honest opinion - the feeling of *fear* is the biggest driver of *seriously BAD choices - out there.

To understand this you need to look at the reasons why "man" would deny the flesh and that usually comes down to a denial of mortality which is also strongly connected to those who engage in a "spiritual" path.

Yes sweetie, I know it's not personal. It's hard to explain actually. If you read the archives, you'll see what I'm talking about - it's not the knowledge of the knowflakes that were here that I'm talking about (although there were many more professionals here back in the day, but that's irrelevant in this discussion), but about the human quality.
I'm really not looking for Utopia, I just got insulted too a few months ago and since then I simply don't engage. But the bitterness persists, you know?

I share dysfunctionalmystic's view about abstinence. It is only my personal truth.
I think Osho explained it better - you can't give up on something until you really have it. That would be like a beggar on the street, who couldn't make any money and he claims that money don't bring happiness. He says that in order to really give up willingly on something, may it be ego, wealth, sex, one must acquire these things - for example, build a strong ego before letting it go.

Osho is really controversial, saying things like the priests are in fact the biggest sinners, but I like how he thinks.
