Summations Only

Hello everyone!This has been and still is a very interesting discussion, let's not let it run off the rails. I'm not going to take any action unless I continue to see discussion of participants instead of topic.

Hi Onifre,You joined the party late and probably missed my request back in Message 348 where I asked everyone to focus discussion on the topic and not on other participants.Speaking personally but I'm sure this is common, I've been on both sides of the fence in discussions. I've been in some where everyone else thought I was crazy while I believed that they must be on some kind of mind-melding drugs that gave them all the same delusions, and I've been in others where it was everyone against a lone crazy person. The lesson I take from this is that sometimes you're the crazy guy, and sometimes someone else is the crazy guy, but you mustn't take it personally. In other words, don't become deluded by righteousness when in the majority, and don't fall into despair, desperation or vengefulness when not.Not to say that some people aren't crazy, but at least here we have to follow Kipling and treat them all just the same.Edited by Admin, : Typo.

Ya know, all ya have to do to keep the moderators at bay is not get personal. Just sayin'.

Sometimes the Bible *does* have the best advice: First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.I'm not here to discuss this with you. I did not single anyone out in the initial warning, and I still don't want to, but if you don't give it a break then you might receive one.Tell ya what, and this is diabolical, you'll love it: just clearly state your position again and let me watch everyone lie about you. It's the perfect plan. I'll catch everyone in the act, everyone will get suspended, you'll be happy, I'll be happy, and peace will prevail again at EvC.
