I did a search (only because I remembered how bad it got when he wrote almost the SAME accusations) and found several other threads started by him detailing the same thing.

We do all have our problems (and MoonDuchess, yes we do understand someone is leaving, but there is much more to it than that) yet we try to work them out.

Paras (sorry dude but this is true) cries wolf on a frequent basis in order to stir things up (IMO). Drama is created, people do exactly what we are doing now, people fight - makeup and paras is just there watching and taking it all in.

So... we can either let it drop and move on - or keep battling it. Neither way is wrong, it all depends on the person.

Randall.. you are doing a hell of a job and I admire you and the moderators for every thing you all do

Start another thread about love and peace... then yet another thread about how angry you are the no on really responded to your intense lengthly diatribe on the core feelings of the paramecium heart.

Then... wait about two months.. come back and post 30 different threads all of which make sense or sound interesting to a few people, but other's may not care too much about. Then get ANGRY that people who do respond may voice differing opinions and POST how angry you are and how you want censorship because you are so enlightened.

Start another thread on how disappointed you are with the narrowmindedness of those that did NOT want to become your followers, so you are going to leave.

Do this every SIX months and - there ya go...... drama... drama...drama....

Heehee...

Do come back, Paras!

Nephthys ~ I do agree that the post title was a bit much, but I still say paras should be able to air his grievances. I say hear him out, make changes if you see fit, then move on. All criticism deserves at least a little consideration, I think. Of course, it's Randall's site and if he wants to tell paras to go screw he has every right.

"For a wise man loves instruction,
but a fool despises correction."

Lovely advice, Heart-Shaped Cross. However it doesn't seem to work both ways.

I don't even know what to say... I'm very surprised at you.

Yep, since we are all One, Paras is actually US, so We all think Randall sux... and since We are All One, Randall is also actually US, so We all actually just think Ourselves suck...

*yawn*
self-hatred.
What else is new? eh?

I actually think this thread is a stroke of genius. Notice neither Paras nor Randall has to say a word on the subject. We all neatly make both of their cases for them without any battle. Clearly Paras was upset when he posted this topic and clearly Randall gives all of us this amazing gift.
Thank goodness Paras is US, so we can see OurSelves through an outside perspective and correct accordingly, and thank goodness that Randall is also US, so that we can see how much we give to one another (OurSelves) by creating communities of like-minded "individuals".

Linda rocks, LindaLand rocks,
RANDALL ROXXX and Paras rocks too.

In fact, everyone here at LindaLand rocks... except that One person I don't like much... ...... but since We are One... I guess they are an aspect of myself I don't like all the way yet or need to work on... or I have to practice more compassion or tolerance or ........
Ok, back to all the deep, meaningful thoughts and Self exploration and GROWTH that this site inspires.

and what about all of these "smilies"? You just can't get a better message board than this one....

TINK,
thanks.
what do you mean, "both ways"?

I had just woken up -- I mean JUST woken up, hadn't even made coffee yet! -- when I made those two posts. Posting with a sleep-addled brain is not good.

I'm just simply dismayed at what I feel is a total lack of leadership or direction here.

That's what I should have said. More honest, less mean.

My apologies, Randall.

Can you imagine a world in which each person understood that his only responsibility was to give and receive love?

I once had a vacuum cleaner that sucked!

Know why it sucked?

Cause it wouldn't suck....

All these points probably needed to be made,
and I hope paras sees them,
and receives them with wisdom.

I assume, and do correct me if I'm wrong, this advice was directed towards paras. The scenario being paras says something rude and hysterical and we correct his mistake. And yet, paras was also offering correction. Are we fools to despise him for it? Are we fools to not at least give him an honest listen?

..takes courage to admit ya messed up....you're a good guy? (or is it gal?)

I understand hurt feelings, cuz I get mine hurt quite a bit too (a Pisces stellium).

Looks like things are gonna be okay now...

Sure hope so...

And I hope no one took offense at my little "suck" joke"...I just think that sometimes humor lightens up situations....

Paras....

For you....
