Thread Ethics and Design

[Darren Dirt]

Just a thought that came to mind, especially after Neo's "you're on my ignore list!" posting.

Anyone else notice that this kind of inter-member hostility hadn't surfaced BEFORE the M. visitations? I mean, we had our disagreements, with our silly joke-posts etc. but we didn't, I mean individuals didn't, get to the point of name-calling, personal attacks, and "you offer nothing of value!" type of verbiage being tossed around.

I'm a little bothered, it's like some emotion-virus got spread to a few of us, metaphorically speaking of course. So we got "infected" by the opposition, in a way. We'll live, we'll deal with it, we'll move forward. Stronger than ever.

Let's make sure to take a good long BREATH and maybe step away from the keyboard for a few days, if necessary. There's plenty of funny video clips on Youtube, and surely you are like me and have at least a handful of DVD movies that you keep meaning to watch but haven't yet.

It's not worth it, folks, posting angry words that later you regret, destroying relationship with folks that you have never seen or spoke with face-to-face, but that have so far endured a handful of years including increasing tyranny and increasingly challenging "steps" in the "waking up" stairway that each of us individually choosing to take.


This kind of hostility is exactly what "M" would have wanted. :'(

The troll seems to have accomplished his goal and has moved on to another target.

Thanks for all the personal attacks.

^ didn't see this until posting my thoughts. Wow, Marc, you win the Sad Understatement Of The Year award...
