i was thinking similarly, ( go figure)

in my experience when someone (including myself) is using the word clique (label) it's because they feel left out.

when someone feels left out (self included) i ask did i include myself?

or did i retreat and not want to be included?

i have not in any way excluded anyone who wants to be included

i cannot include people who do not make themselves known

peace

Sounds like an ego-control issue you've got going on here jubalo that is really saying:

"This place is just so NOT how I think it should be and everyone here needs to be put on posting-rations so that it can become the place that I have envisaged in MY head"

What a fantastic opporunity you have given yourself to put Practice to the Theory of the Ego and its machinations and it's lower forms desire to control others behaviour and divide rather than connect.

Maybe you could see if you are able to allow people to be who tand how they are not how and who you think they should be?

Congratulations for manifesting your own paradox to sort through between your Ego and Spirit Self jubalo.

You ask what I meant by asking where did you learn so much?

All I meant is that sometimes in the daily grind, it is difficult for me to tell the

important stuff, the good stuff, from the BS.

So you know BS, I don't.

:0sorry (it was me, I was trying to be quiet and see where this was going and then POOF) I apologize

I agree:D

You are excused. I can only hope to be so lucky.

I think I'm in trouble here.

Guess what, jubalo (I LOVE your screen name!)

Just jump in! Most, if not all of us, posting to these threads of levity, are also responding from the depths of our BEING to other threads, which are NOT so lighthearted. There really IS a lot of love here....for you....and for anyone else who wants to BE here.

On the other boards, ie, aha moments, favorite quotes, chapter studies, you can find more of what it sounds like you want. Go there in peace. Then, when and if you want to, jump back into the frog pond with us. We're not excluding anyone! We just might be more talkative....and that's not a bad thing, it's the way we were made and it's alllll good!

And if you want more input, start a discussion! That's all it takes.

All love to you.\

ice cream? somebody said ice cream. I want ice cream!

Reply 21. Re: There should be a limit to "allowed" responses and posts here ... then perhaps the board will be as it was intended, rather than a playground for cliques and egos Mar 27, 2008 9:26 PM

Yes you are, in trouble that is.

I guess the real question is "Will you be our friend?".... and do you like two-ply toilet paper and ice cream? Love, Holly

Re:

"I tire of BS ... I already know about that."

Uh-oh...I think I have made an error of my own frisky-Friday Ego...

"BS" it stands for Britney Spears right?.....If that's the case -and i apologise if your cryptic brevity is being misread - I personally think BS has been outrageously handled by the media machine that drew her in as a young teenage girl and began chomping her out as she moved out of the stereotype and construct that they had created.

Are you going to tell on me now, Michael?

Should I pick up my toys and go home (figuratively speaking, of course)?

Carol ...This place is very much like how I think, yet I'd like to hear other views - you were very condesending ... I do not believe I was condesending, was I? You are RIGHT ... I wished for something different on these boards.

At first it was battle of religion, and that is settling down - nice. But what emerged was a dominance. Some I appreciated their opinion VERY much, but after 1000+ posts I wished for them to silence a bit so that they were not over-powering other thoughts and questions.

My post was not intended to dismiss, but rather include. The issue here is not of my ego needing to be heard ... Is speaking up a need of my ego? No - I would have joined right in with you guys and been accepted ...

There is no malice in my post.

Only if they are your Warm and Peace tolles-toys sinead!
