It's funny that I don't even know who Shawn is, and I keep frogetting ZD is spose to do some sort moderating or sumthin here. There never seems to be a need for moderating here, probly because no need is seen for it. Over at the Titanic, it took an army of moderators to keep everybody sufficiently intimidated to behave most of the time. (Much bigger ship, of course) It's even funnier that it was never intended to be a discussion forum. \ Fortunately, I don't have to do much moderating here. Everybody is pretty civil, and everyone seems to be chasing the same rainbow, or realizing they're already sitting on the pot of gold. LOL. In two years I've only had to throw three people off the board (for obscenity and/or spam), and occasionally I have had to move a thread to the marketing section when someone tried to use the discussion board to sell something. I do so little moderating that when I attempted to move the RT thread to the marketing section the other day, I couldn't even remember how to do it. Shawn will have to remind me about this one of these days. Overall, this is a pretty good forum with lots of serious seekers as well as lots of finders, even though there's nothing to find and no one to find it. Ha ha. We often quibble about trivialities, but most peeps who've been on this non-path for a while are pointing in the same direction (well, with the exception of Andrew, who points in lots of different directions), so hopefully newbies will read these posts and start noticing (a la Enigma) or seeing (a la Exactamente) or attending (a la ZD) or observing the observer (a la Tat) or doing something other than staying lost in thought. Judging from the posts and PM's, a lot of folks who visit here are finding out that there aren't two here. As one sage wrote on a temple door, "21,900 mornings in sixty years. Haven't you realized by now that its the same old fellow?" Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.......... Actually, it was 21,915 mornings. He forgot about leap year. See you can never trust a sage. Hehe.

Yeah, I think he's done playing with his toys now. I might as well repost what is probly my final Titanic post to Steve: ... I don't think that Steve is hearing that right now. If you look at his blog you will see a lot of face saving work going on, hehe.

It really depends on the state of mind of the forum's top guy, and as far as I see you have your marbles together while at the other side the marbles of the top guy were dancing in gay abandon from time to time. And this time they are all over the place... ;D Hmm, attending, never heard that one... is that stolen from a zen classic? Maybe I should look up a thesaurus from time to time... but as long as you all use verbs, I'm fine with it.

It was while you were 'trashing' me on that thread that we got a warning from the moderator for "senseless sniping" and "sidewalk preaching". Hehe. Fascinating. Though it actually made sense, given the recent directives by Pav Daddy, himself, to admonish and dis the button pushers. I also had more of a reputation there, I suspect, and you guys were fairly new, so I'm guessing they didn't like to see me get picked on. If they only knew ...

I might be one to be like Andrew with his different directions, but I'm trying to narrow them down, I swear. You might also like my standard avatar. ;D

He wanted to avoid getting his own buttons pushed. And as it turned out, Pav Daddy's self destruction button got pushed. I never understood what they meant with 'sniping'. Actually those who secretly report posts are the real snipers and not those who talked straight. So I'm pleased to see that there is no 'report post button' here.

Okay, if anyone here is from the Pavlina "meltdown boards" (term courtesy silence (a.k.a. Chris), is there any way you could identify yourselves somehow, as who you were over there?
As you can see, I'm still beingist. ;D
exactamente: Reefs, is that you?!

Indeed. I thought about starting one last thread, using a reference to the Titanic, but in searching my creativity for a title, I could only ultimately come up with, "Screw it, I'm off this tug". LOL I noticed where the moderators gave me and Chris the green light to trash the thread, as though that was something we'd been wanting to do all along. Hehe. Apparently, they had some interest in that. Me, not so much. I wandered off thinking 'They still don't get it.' Yea, that was a bit strange.

I'm sure they were only doing their job, but what on earth was all that about? Hillarious! The whole thing, I just never knew people got so 'involved' in forums. They even deleted one of my earlier posts for no apparent reason- weird!

Me, not so much. I wandered off thinking 'They still don't get it.' Yes, all of which I found rather confusing, as I knew there was no way you two would do such a thing. I was also astounded that Chris, of all people, got warnings, while I trashed both of you, (in my way) and no one said a thing to me. But that thread was quite intense, at least for me--seriously, not unlike walking, slowly, over hot coals, at one point. But with that, my consciousness seems to have expanded greatly. Thanks again, enigma, and thanks to Chris for your patience, and for not taking my trashing of you personally. I look forward, now, to reading folks who are more likely to "get it". I'm quite sure I was one, two at the most away from a Ban. All of the warnings were really odd too. I had Midnite basically write me a letter in a warning about not disrespecting people's beliefs about psychic powers.
