That was my bait. I bet it triggered satch, as it has triggered you. In spiritual discourse, my object is not to seek light in the darkness, or find the path to the promised land. I hunt the boatman, the vampire lurking within. Whatever the response, the blood-sucker can be detected. Not the one in you, but the one in me. Same thing. I don't do forums a lot, I'm not up on all the terminology. But isn't this called trolling? Too bad, I guess I am done with you. You are on a crazy suicide mission (metaphorically speaking). You will always find what you're looking for, it's unavoidable. Reefs is like a smart-bomb. You will lose with Reefs, every time. (But I will report on your mouse movie, haven't looked at yet).

I am not done discussing your life experience yet. I guess we can branch off into something else you find important enough to thrash out.
Each of us is a window on reality, as Gopal said. My departure from Gopal's take is that each window is a viewpoint of an unique reality unconnected to every other except on technical matters. (Gopal's windows are all from the same guy: The Infinite.)
For example, your window on the wiring in the house shows the same thing as that seen by your co-workers; otherwise, your boss would have kicked some asses. If the people running our government functioned like the way electricians do on the job, the country would hum along like the power grid running China's high speed rail system.
Apart from the reality of our technical world where screw-ups matter to all, there is a world where rules-based order is imposed by the bully. In this world, you call the shots. If you say I am wrong on this or that, it's final. It's your wiring plan for the universe. The boatman has to be right on the money or he loses cred. The need to be right is a mental disease. I guess I must be the biggest sicko in this forum because I am certain that you all are dead wrong.
Ask anything, you are a good straight-man. I'll spare the others having to scroll through a rastaphant. For now.

I have been watching him for many years and as Reefs has pointed out he has been actually spamming the forum. You clearly haven't been paying attention to him in the last 3 weeks. He has talked about not sleeping, eating. We don't know if he is ill, or if he is going through a powerful spiritual/life change. Or maybe both. I don't think he has been 'spamming' the forum as such. I don't either, but it's funny isn't it regarding troll like behaviour for cheerleading behind the scenes, talking down to people and avoiding having an open and an honest discussion could quite easily fall into that category . I don't believe the continued hypocrisy at times ..

I don't believe the continued hypocrisy at times .. Reefs drew a line, he always does, gives plenty of warning. poppe stepped over the line, end of story. Reefs didn't ban poppe for a month, poppe banned poppe. Simple. He can still read, here, maybe he will (maybe he won't). People love you poppe. anodos the most.

Great! Thanks for doing so. He does not really deserve this forum. He has no interest in the argument we are having here. I always wonder why he chose a spiritual forum like this one. Ok, you were just offering your comment. Your opinion on Farmer is understandable. Also, I surmise that Reefs' action to kick Farmer out for a month would have majority support. Seems to me, Farmer was unceremoniously and summarily thrown out to cool off like a drunk from a bar by the owner. As you know, I was shown the door but not kicked out. Even though I did not accept Reefs' definition of politics, I wasn't going to argue. It's his joint to run, he is the owner and the drinks are free. I decided to stay a while. Farmer was not given the same deal. Why weren't things explained to him also?
This forum is not my first rodeo. My opinion, based on my observations, is that folks who gravitate to spiritual forums are delicate souls, 'weirdos' who understand spiritual speak incomprehensible to normal people. Farmer is obviously also having issues relating in the normal world. Like you, he has also found a safe place here. You obviously know how rough the real world is. Farmer is now out there. stardust must know what that feels like. Would Farmer hurt himself? WE are supposed to be empaths, right? I am not one. satch is. Why isn't he crying over our heartless treatment of Farmer?

I know Farmer more than you. Reefs knows him well as well.

Not sure about that. Looks like neither Tenka nor myself would have agreed with it, for a start. Reefs may have talked with Farmer, given warnings. Farmer has respected Reefs for a long time, so maybe they have spoken. I don't know the full story. It's a month ban, not lifetime.

It's a month ban, not lifetime. sree still doesn't understand, we don't get a vote, this isn't a democracy. When I wrote my message, I internally checked to see if I 'agree' with Reefs being moderator. I found that I do. It's an unpaid job, it takes time and energy, and it's not always easy I guess. I appreciate the fact that Reefs wants to do it, and overall I appreciate that the forum is calmer now than many years ago. I assume that enough people were unhappy with Reefs moderating, then he would quite happily step down, so there is some level of democracy in that regard. I'm not sure that this ban was a good idea, but there may be more to the story than I know of, and I have no inclination to go to war about it. Farmer is on gab now, so if any of us want to find him, we can go there.
