All that doesn't mean a thing to me, Top. You're not listening. I tried to post this before, I forgot who I was quoting: But they do anyway. I am not physically there to stop them from posting snark or butting in - for some reason, they relish interrupting Anyone's conversation and telling them their own version of the truth of the matter and what in blazes is going on - purportedly - it gets real old - I have nothing against being 'old' but, if someone, anyone wishes the conversation to have a different bent / slant, it's IMPOSSIBLE with him (E) around - just sayin' a little more obnoxious and annoying. No one else can talk without their interference. I say that's a proven fact. This points up the fact that they consider themselves the peak of Knowingness of All Things. I'm getting mighty tired of all these inbred 'ideas' and what-nots. Seriously. Cultivate the art of considering an idea, holding it in your mind, without necessarily having to either agree or disagree with it. You need not give "their own version of the truth" a tin nickle, a second glance or even the time of day. You are the master of where your attention goes. Oh, I can do that, Laughter. Not to worry. I understand what you're saying and it is sound advice, but there are extremes that we are dealing with here - it just doesn't seem that way to you Because it just so happens that you see things exactly as they do - does it not seem that in this, you are just as much a 'rescuer' as they've accused Top and a few others at times? Those who accuse others of being drama queens and rescuers are themselves The Biggest Drama Queens and Rescuers.

Think of it like a trip to the gym for your sense of being. Okay. But, is this, like, some sort of criteria for a spiritual forum? Some sort of ... initiation into spirituality--gotta endure the enima mind-hook obstacle course before getting your diploma? Only turn your attention toward the hooks if that is your preference. You don't have to if you don't want to.

I do not see things exactly as they do and I'm not trying to be offensive but if you've drawn that conclusion then you haven't been paying attention.

Only turn your attention toward the hooks if that is your preference. You don't have to if you don't want to. How can one know it's a hook? Isn't that the whole point of baiting the hooks to begin with? Look, the only ones who are going to bite on those hooks are the dumb fish, and they bite, because they don't know it's a barbed hook they're really having for lunch.

You guys and gal do know who's gonna get the last word in this thread, right? The more ink we spill on the topic the more fodder for the mock machine -- Enireefs are gonna have a good 'ole time pickin' all these werds apart like a dissected froggy in a Jr. high science class ... Jest sayin'.

There is a cautious quality of attention you can screen their content with ... if you're alert you can gain suspicion of a trap. Otherwise, like I said, it's like goin' to the gym.

In the event that you eventually find yourself on a hook, the quickest and least painful way out of it is to stop biting.

Gain suspicion of a trap, uh-huh. Then, they deride you for imagining the trap, and the dancing giraffes come out. Face it, laffey, there's nothing one can do but point out what in blazes is going on, while they're being pulled in for the kill.

Jest sayin'. If ya' can't get quiet enough with the "Who is reefs?," enquiry, ask yourself this.... Why is reefs so concerned with "valuable band width?" Hiya Shhhhhh Anyway, whatever. I still feel this website is light years behind its potential using this ruse...

Not that they would mind that, either, because it only helps to prove their domination of the place. Mind you, I don't believe that any of this is done on a conscious level. It's really more a ... dynamic. Others have alluded to it. I'm just being more straight and purposeful about it, I guess, at least currently.
