Delete anything you find that you don't like. You just let me know when you believe my contributions might be better suited to another forum and you desire more of what others have to provide.
You cannot reasonably think any reasonable person would put with this, but if you do, let me know that too.
Your contributions as a whole are well appreciated, the infighting being done between any one here is unnecessary, wouldn't you agree that it divides and keeps up distractions from greater issues at play?
Let me be right up front: what I have to say drives some people crazy in exactly the same way your Grandma would be driven crazy if she turned on "The View" and one of the hosts kept talking every day about how the Moon landings were fake and 911 wasn't just some Arabs with box cutters, etc, etc.
Tell me, would she ever be able to settle down and engage with that material in any reasonable way? Or would she just get angrier and more disturbed because of the extreme psychic anxiety caused by the world turning to quicksand under her feet every time she heard that host saying things that cracked and melted her worldview?
If you think the solution to that is that hosts on "The View" should follow rules about avoiding material that upsets people excessively, I'm not entirely certain I would agree that's practical or even sensible.
To be brutally frank in a way few are ready to accept, seeing people spin out of control over what they read on a screen is itself a valuable lesson in how human consciousness actually works.
Let's be honest: no one objects to what I write because it's nonsense or bullshit, they object because it's true and they have no idea how to handle it. As I've said before many times, far from searching for it, most people hate the truth and reject it because of the internal stress it causes them.
Think of it this way: suppose I started posting all Jew-bashing all the time. I'd get way more upvotes and none of these problems would exist. Does that really seem like a move in a positive direction? Should it?
I'll reiterate: I never go looking for any of this, nor do I bother reporting this annoying/harassing bullshit. It's others who just cannot--and I believe will not ever--be able to handle my material. Think up a rule that solves that.
If you want me to start blocking people without ever responding, that's fine. Seems juvenile to me, but juveniles is what we seem to have on our hands. We haven't come far from the schoolyard. And I mean, is that really going to put a dent in the three people that ever bother reading my posts in the first place?
I very much appreciate your well thought out response and I also want to make it clear that I appreciate your research and contributions. The only thing I am asking everyone in this forum is to treat eachother better, rule 1 is simple tho not easy. We should be able to find some kind of common ground and agree to disagree at an impasse, there is no need to resort to our baser instincts of attacking people instead of arguments. Do you agree?
I was already handling the meta call-outedness of this comment. You breaking rule 1 is not helpful, will you edit?
I'm talking to turtlebam to not be infighting too. (The 3 simple rules are here to prevent the breaking of community)

Let me know if I'm being unreasonable.
