Another Good Thread Locked - Watch This One Go Too

Yet another really good thread locked for no particular reason. Oh yeah, it wasn't started by one of the insider "gang of twelve". Good discussion Laurie. I like to read a thread written by someone who actually knows what they're talking about where I can learn something. Beats the crap out of yet another "your thread is link-bait but ours isn't cause we're really, really cool" threads. This thread will last just about long enough for one of them to spot it. Time to take a break from here.

    You should really take a break so you can get over being so sanctimonious -

    Should we all be as noble as you in defending littering trolls and watch this place go to hell with spammy threads?

    You have made a number of posts expressing your inability to understand this and making derogatory remarks about the people that are protesting against trolls.

    Maybe since you can't understand the issue you should just dummy up -

    Enjoy your vacation.

      p.s. and the reason the 'good' thread was locked is because it is a 'hostile environment' with people calling each other names -

      or can't you understand that either?

      It seems that Mr. Wilkinson has an intense dislike for what he considers to be "cliques".

      Sometimes these types of feelings stem from an unfortunate childhood experience. Sometimes it's just that some people enjoy feeling that they are the "underdog", fighting the status quo.

      Ironically, a lot of the people who posted on Bill's link bait thread don't always agree on everything.

      In fact, I'm relatively new to posting in the "basement" and I've never felt unwelcome.

      It's very unfortunate that differences in opinion have to become contentious.

    Thomas, when you have a ton of hard work and content built up in here... I promiose your views will change. Its easy to point fingers at some "imagined slight" by some imagined fabulous 12...I dont think it was political, the reason the thread got shut down... I think it got heated and someone smartly just it down... When you express a passionate opinion that alientates others... and segregates... then you should expect passionate responses.

    I find it interesting that your are talking about segration while defending a topic that started with a guru making a fatal mistake... and ended with racial and cultural segragation.

    People can practice whatever beliefs they want in America... Whatever we fancy ourselves to be, we have the right to be as much as anyone else does, unless it requires a certification, and then it should be required for ALL not just some.

    I see you agree that those with vested interest in a ritualistic concept should be the only ones who can practice that ritual...however you dont agree that those who are most invested in the WF should have more influence. Seems hypocritical. In any event, its not that way. It was getting heated, and becoming a religious argument.

    Who can say who is qaulified to perform a ritual that NOBODY can see the actual physical proof even works... wether it does or not, you would be hard pressed to to find any factual evidence that backs certain things as a real medical practice though it could be... Hoewever, if theres no certification, then who determines who can be a practitioner?

    furthermore... "The law of attraction is so misunderstood that its not funny by people who have only studied the secret... A person should study directly under Hermes Tressmistigus, and have touched the emerald tablet...like my people have for 10 years, to be be worthy to speak on the subject" Why? Because my people believe it thats why.

    Do you feel alientated by that statement?

    Some things are so borderline that NOBODY should be able to do them... Now where my peyote?
