Announcement
Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

those familiar with the situation are aware that he was banned for a habit of verbal abuse going back many years and which he admits, he and you have continually and purposely misstated the circumstances of his banning and your desperation is pitiable

Re: banned
a year ago i deleted one comment of yours.. when you wrote 'hitlers revenge'
same way i would understand if troy deleted the comment by ben with son of a bitch and such.
but to exclude someone from writing completely, and to erase all that has been written, everything that has been written, and not giving the opportunity to talk about it, to explain or discuss, to make things clear from both sides, to express feelings and frustrations, to listen, to think it over, to bring it on the table, to explore the situation, etc.. that's something else.. and that's what troy is doing here and on his ning also.

Re: banned
tree wrote 'going back many years'..
but now is now, and everything changes.
at least at a K-forum one should be open to that.
where was the verbal abuse ? and what have you and booda been doing recently ?
were we not aware that the word is never the thing ?
even son of a bitch is just words, let it be, watch and learn, yes i regret erasing your post, i won't do it again, i learned from it

his comments were usually filled with hate and violent attacks, hence my post, but you denied me freedom of speech and didn't care to discuss it

we discussed it later, only after the banning and your hysterical reaction, then, i pointed out your hypocrisy. you've admitted to an obsession with pearl, perhaps you'll be mature enough to admit to an obsession with dano, he has plenty of freedom to post on two of your sites as well as anywhere he will be tolerated, both of you could use professional help

everyone has different ways of expressing love. In all ways love feels good.

4Q - "But does anyone see a logical problem with this statement?
If we are all here to "receive insight, not dispense insight"...
Who, precisely, are we supposed to receive insight from?"
If it is read to be saying the insight is coming from 'another' person, then yes. If you say something that causes an 'insight' to come to me, then who is to say where it came from? The question is whether the door is open to 'receiving' an insight isn't it?
