I don't care to take sides on this one...

But the publicizing of this issue stirs something within me...

Just thinking that perhaps the two people creating the problem,

should have both been banished together until they can privately make amends as friends,

rather than publicly demonizing one of the persons involved and their friends?

Just a thought...

Won't return till Andy's back...

See ya! Y'all could use a break from my antics anyways...lol

And yet another joins the ranks!
" do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men
it is a music of a people who will not be slaves again
If the beating of your heart echos the beating of the drum
Theres a world about to start when tomorrow comes

Will you join in our crusade who will be strong and stand with me? somewhere beyond the barracade is there a world you long to see? So join in the fight that will give us the right to be free!

do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men
it is a music of a people who will not be slaves again
If the beating of your heart echos the beating of the drum
Theres a world about to start when tomorrow comes

You can live or you can give so that our banner may advance some will fall and some will live, who will stand up and take a chance? The blood of the martyrs will water the meaddows of france..."
Nothin like a song from Les Miserables to get the blood pumpin!

I can't choose a side. I don't know all the details.

Lost Leo, don't you think you're perpetuating the idea of "sides" just by suggesting a boycott of this site?

And you're also making judgements by assumng this is a situation that can be reconciled quietly. I don't expect anyone to know what the situation is. And I'm not going to explain it. I just ask that you believe me when I say it's been an ordeal. I also realize that since there was a public note posted, that it then becomes public business.

Details weren't made public by Randall, only the negativity going on as a result. Please keep that in mind.

Lost Leo, I am sorry to see you leave. I've enjoyed having you here and wish you well.

I am saddened to see the word 'boycott' here. It`s implication is harsh and judgemental.

Each one of us must follow the path of our hearts. I believe that includes putting ego aside and and seeing that the pain of this subject hurts every single one of us! With each boycott, harsh remark and judgement, you`ve closed your hearts to the purpose of LindaLand.

This moment, are you here to learn, grow and share or here to buddy up, fuel pain and feel righteous about it ? Pain is a process we all suffer at one time or another, but it`s purpose is to reach above it and learn, experience and become a stronger & more spiritual being.

The purpose of LindaLand has been over looked recently and it`s time to put personal ego aside. Grow, dare to be the spirit of purpose we`re here for. Let your lite shine. Don`t wallow in the perpetuation of me/ vs. you. That has been the undoing of so many wonderful souls

Examine your s-elves and ask what you desire from LindaLand then only you can make that decision for yours-elf. Just please do it without acrimony.

I admire and care for each and every one of you. Whatever choices you make , where ever your path takes you, go in love, peace, and with purpose.

Thank you juniperb, for your words of wisdom.


Change your perspective, and you change the world.

Personally, I won't take sides over an issue that I know next to nothing about. I truly admire many of the people on this board, some of whom have chosen to leave. I will miss many of you. I wish you well on whatever path you choose to walk.

...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...

...we're one, but we're not the same, we get to carry each other...

That said, I wish to add that I`ve read every grievance posted. I`ve over looked no one`s post.

They made me more resolved to try and carry on the intent Randall had when he created this home for us. I believe it was/is to celebrate life, Linda and the pursuance of knowledge of the esoteric.

I support Lindaland, Randall and the all moderators in this endeavor! Every jab at them is a jab at the purpose of this site. Lindaland will survive this negativity and remain a lite shining bright.

Lets move forward and follow the path of our choosing! No more parting remarks or grievances to add to the list. Randall had a choice to make, difficult as it was, and it`s made. I support it; the lite was dimming here with the pettyness. So please, can we all move on in

Do so k-nowing I love each and every elf here and those choosing to leave.

thats good wisdom juni, but i think you might be sending it in the wrong direction.

on this 'side' meaning of course andys minions, its got nothing to do with ego. it has everything to do with fairness and compassion, or lack of it.

boycott is hardly as harsh a term as the ones in the dubya thread and rubys thread. the 'minions' certainly didnt start this full on attack either.

Is this thing going to be on every forum?

Anyway this is my post from the other. My two cents I guess you could say. I find the whole thing to be heartbreaking and it seems like it's polarizing the damn site.

here is is:

I hold both Oxychick and NW_Evil in high regard. I do not have the details of what occured, nor do I want to know, because it is personal and it is between them.

I was not witness to any attacks and while I would support a boycott if I felt it was justified, I do not in this case. I am not in charge of this forum and I feel that Randall has his reasons for what he did. We are not privy to the conversations between the moderators on their forum.

For all we know threats could have been made, that we did not read or know of and therefore the decision was made to bump certain people.

Randall did say that it was only temporary and that one moderator needed to be banned due to the close ties with one of the people in the rift.


I choose not to boycott. I am sorry that you feel the need to leave Lost Leo, your presence will be missed. I do support your decision as I am sure you thought long and hard about it.

Personally, I am not sure that I feel safe to say exactly what I feel about things (not just this situation that is ending) because it doesn't really seem that anyone is trying to see things from other people's point of view in general, and it wasn't always like that. I don't think that people should be forced to do or say what they don't feel but I don't like what is happening.
I don't necessarily want a response I just wanted to say that.

Not that I am banning responses to myself, I meant that I did not want anyone to feel obligated if they did not want to say anything else.
