(*edit* the above two posts have been completely edited, so the next two might not make much sense at the moment.)

*clapping* Well done Daf. Feel better now?

Sorry I dont bow down and kiss every "Guru's" feet that walks by. And that my opinions on things stir you up or offend you in some way. Why not take a look at why that is, intead of trying to attack people disquising it in the form of prose. Youre just as guilty of all the things you accused Trillian of, and everyone else.

quote:
See? I can be confrontational and stir up sh** too. Weee!

Yes, we know.

quote:
If you need a place to jump up and down and scream at me or snicker, point and slap each other high-fives, I ask that you please start another thread.

No, I think it's best to leave it in the thread it was started in. Youve just pointed fingers and let us know your opinions of some of us here, so I think this thread would be the best place to address them. I'm addressing you, as you have me.....and I'm never looking for any "high fives", OR any approval or acceptance from a self proclaimed Guru for that matter. No one can 'take me the rest of the way'. That is my opinion, it shouldnt upset you.

I dont know why it is so hard for you to understand that others will have different opinions, and that is okay. There is no 'club' here. Just people with opinions, some of which are similar to each other's. And not everyone will express them in the way that you see fit - nor should they. That's life.

So, well done at trying to 'stir things up'. It really just makes me feel a little sad for you.

Hope someday you find all of the things you are looking for. Let go and let God.

Sorry, Charlie, but this isn't a site on religion (Christian or otherwise). Linda tested the waters of many organized religions and denominations thereof throughout her life, and she was adamantly opposed to organized religion at several junctures throughout. People who feel a similar way certainly have the same right to both be here and be vocal here as do the religionists, philosophers, and self-proclaimed GURUs--none of which take away from the true Spirituality of Lindaland.

How very odd......I had a feeling you'd erase your 'prose'.

Is this part of your game? Wanted to ramble off a bunch of names and say bad things about those people and then when they replied defending themselves - erase it so they looked like the aggressors or something.

You named six people here that you have issues with in your above prose that has now been completely edited. Youre really somethin', you know that. You set a trap, and I had a feeling you were up to something like that.

Cool man. Real cool.

I hope you find the peace you are looking for within, because the original post I read was not from a peaceful man.

*still shaking head that he actually did that*

Take a good listen to your own Ego man.

The people you named, Trillian, myself, LibraSparkle, Pixelpixie, Isis...and someone else, wouldnt stoop that low. What does that tell you?

No one's right or wrong Daf. I was'nt saying you were wrong in your opinion, just rude. And I was only pointing out where I DISagreed. Why do you feel so attacked all the time? When you were TRYING to set it up that way anyway. You did that so you could say "See, told you so!! Theyre mean!!"

No "THE END" was my "END" in this thread, but I've changed my mind.

Dont worry Daf, we know there's no end here for you.

*edit* Oh! I see you've edited your second "Disclaimer" post too now. Hmmmmm?

I dont know who youre mad at, at calling you 'passive aggressive' - you keep using that word, I dont recall ever calling you it. Why not just get over it?

Moving this crappy prose to a more appropriate Forum.

HUH?

Did I miss something?
Someone said something mean about me on my birthday?
Isn't that against the law or something?
Who did I mock? I don't remember doing any such thing.
26Taurus? Randall? Will someone please fill me in? This hasn't been here all day, has it?

ACK! I like to defend, and I know I didn't do anything nasty, so I don't know what to defend.. or am I blind to somehing I did? I don't like to hurt people.. was I joking or something?

and Daf, I believe you have my email addie...... Although I didn't realize you had a problem with me, as we've barely spoken.

I know pix, how nice on your birthday.

Don't worry you didnt do or say anything wrong. Neither did I, or any of the others. That's why this was such a shock to me as well. But I couldnt just sit there and keep quiet, especially when my name was mentioned in the attack.

Try not to worry too much about it - waste of time.

I was deeply sad to see the original post. I am equally sad to see it moved to this forum. I don't understand the motive behind this.

I am just curious as to the post he was referring to in this quote...
quote:
what I perceived as indirect censorship and bullying. You ladies would never forget about the original knowflake's post and tear into the first person that posted an opinion that disagrees with yours

Could I please be enlightened, and form my own opinions?

Is it that Guru thread?
I didn't say anything mean...... I just like to keep my eyes open. I don't ascribe to the notion that just because someone declares something, it is the truth.... I like to remain objective, is all... I am watching and listening, but reserved.
I don't bow in reverence to anyone's feet. All stand the same/equal, in my book. Upon further investigation.
I can love or hate what someone says.. it is n the gathering of the good and bad together that you have a whole picture. This picture is still just being painted.

I am unable to leave things alone until I understand them...... here is my quote from the thread... I think it is my only contribution.... what's mean about that? Here...
quote:
I will briefly say, as I watch and read with curiousity and interest, from this jagged fence which pulls in multiple directions.....
Meili.. You said "what of the consequences of our questioning and doubting if magidivision is a 'real master'" * sorry I paraphrase, but my copy/paste function isn't functioning presently*
My thought there is ...... Consequences? The reasoning and 'consequences'... is in the journey, is it not? If there is knowledge to gain, it is in the searching and the questioning, as in anything. I should think a spiritually advanced person would recognize that doubt and questions are a necessary part of any quest. I would question ANYONE who blindly followed someone simply because they say something that sounds reasonable or true. The consequences would be eyes opened a little further. A new page written. New insights and I see absolutely nothing negative there.

A lot of it had to do with the Guru thread. Apparently we were being mean because we each didnt accept him as our own Guru. And we bully people so they agree with us in threads, and are scared to voice their own opinions. There were other things, but I dont want to talk about it anymore. I'm sorry you had to read this, especially on your birthday pix. And I can understand why you want to understand what happened. I'd feel the same way. But I'm going to bow out now. I'm sorry.

Daf has posted an apology poem, and I accept it.

Thanks for filling me in...s'all I wanted.

I think what he sees perhaps as ?bullying? was like minded people expressing to each other that they also feel what the other is saying. Which is generally why people become friends.
I agree with some things, disagree with others.. If someone states an opinion that feels right to me, I will say "YAY! Good job, I feel ya'."
And I will continue to.
Whether I 'hang' with said person or not.
I am open, and outspoken.. But I am genuine.

Oh no pixel. I had the displeasure of reading the original post and it wasn't the Guru thread at all. You behaved just fine there I thought.

Speaking of the Guru post .... I never got a chance to say that I would Love to meet you in that little clearing. In fact, I'll race you there right now!

Tink,

I got feeling that he was refering to the Guru post. Seems as though Randall caught that vibe too. I could be wrong though. Who knows? It's over now.

Wha?? Hrm... interesting that someone would put out a post naming names and pointing fingers... then delete it or edit it so the accused people don't have an opportunity to respond. Whatever it was, clearly daf knew it was wrong, else he wouldn't have retracted it.

I don't see how it could NOT have been about the GURU string... considering the only other place I'm am equally as outspoken is in GU, and I have never had a direct conversation with daf... in GU or otherwise.

So daf has a problem with the fact that I think this whole GURU thing is total BS... I wonder if it could be because daf is posing as this GURU? Just a suspicion I have been entertaining. Kinda interesting how daf was *gone* only to resurface when people weren't afraid to speak out about the arrogance of the GURU

I could be totally off... but I'm pretty sure there is (at the very least) a connection between daf and this (so called) GURU... who, I might add, hasn't bothered to answer any of the questions of anyone who isn't immediately blindly following his "wisdom".

So, daf, it's kind of you to apologize for whatever it is that you said about the others and me. Although, I find it quite telling that you wouldn't allow for us all to see exactly what it was that you said.

You will just have to accept the fact that I do not hold a shred of reverence in your GURU.

As I said, I was more than sad - disgusted in fact - with the original post. I certainly wouldn't attempt to defend it. I am a big believer in accuracy though. So with that in mind, I'll say that it seemed obvious, at least to me, that it was inspired by the post concerning homosexuality in Universal Codes. I am glad he deleted it. It had no place here. Lately it seems there have been far too many aggressive, mean-spirited, accusatory posts - we certainly didn't need one more. And I am happy he apologized. He should have.

Thank you again for the warning concerning blind Faith, Libra Sparkle. I trust that it comes from a good and sincere desire to protect. Blind faith and false paths are truly a hazard. Not only here at LindaLand but elswhere as well. But whether it be a false or true Path, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck I am generally apt to call it a duck. But this is a very personal choice and I certainly would not feel compelled to force anyone else to come to the same conclusions as I might.

I am still very concerned with the motive for bringing the thread to this much more popular forum. I like pixel and trill very much (as I hope they know) and I would have wished that they would be spared the viewing of it, especially since it was so quickly retracted. I have no desire to see hurt and offended knowflakes.

Thanks Tink. I appreciate your thoughts... especially since you read the original texts, and I did not.

What doesn't make sense to me though, is that Trillian and I are the only ones from the names listed that posted to that topic. Furthermore, there was no kind of "high-fiving" or bullying going on in that string. I could, on the other hand, see how one might feel that way about the GURU string.

Maybe it was a combination of things?

I'm just plain confused about where this came from.

Although, Pix, 26, and I do *mess* around sometimes ... eh.. so what... it's all in good fun.

I trust that the motives to move this string to this forum wasn't because it is more popular, but because this is a more appropriate place for this discussion... than... uh.. wherever it was before. I have no idea, as I just (sorta) stumbled upon it in here.

Another thing I don't understand is Isis's name being brought into this. She's been MIA for a while now becuase of GU stuff.
