Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
You know what, after sleeping on this, I have finally got something to say - I wanted to post something last night (my time) but I was not in my neutral space.
If there has been anykind of actionable content, or actionable abuse of the forum systems then the moderators of this forum MUST and SHOULD act to defend the forum. All things being equal in terms of the information available, I would place my trust on the side of the moderators. I'd say wait and see - at this point there is nothing to loose. AJ.. |

Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
Wow 12 pages...tuck some reading after I accidentally found this thread. Glad I read it all before posting now.
So it'll (Thuban Thread) be back up as a read only. I think that should satisfy those that want to read it. As for Abrax posting member to sexually harass them... well… if that’s the case he deserves the ban. I think everyone can stand behind that. I’ll add this though... because the allegation isn't fully clarified or proven, as yet, if it's a set up then those doing the "setting up" should be banned. Everyone's aware of the animosity this thread has caused with some folk. Having read all the post there is none other than the quoted thread below that has disturbed me the most. I'm surprised it's hardly been mentioned. Talk about the cotton wool brigade. (gawd..hope it's not a case of you guys knowing something I don't ) Quote:
I've read a couple of those romantic Mills & Boon novels and they are as sexually exsplicit as Abrax. Abrax falls short of the pornography and vulgarity I've read in those top shelf magazines, so I don't see your "sexual perversions" allegations ringing true. Again, if you objected to it on grounds of pornography and sexual perversion...why go back to it? Why didn't you hit the report tab from the get go. I honestly don't see the logic. You had free will to stay away and protect your somewhat Victorian values, with regards to sex. If you have issues there you need to understand the majority does not. I most certainly didn’t feel offended by the first post and I didn’t see any sexual innuendos after that. If you say to me your 32 visits were to protect me or other members I would be compelled to say "HOW DARE YOU." I would point out to you it's little more than printed words. It's not going to eat me, hurt, distort me its just some geezer on the end of a computer. Much like the rest of us. If you perceive Abrax as evil, spreading distortions and lies pertaining to religion then that's your issue. If you deliberately countered Abrax to protect others or me from our selves, as you insinuated later in this thread, you can keep your arrogance and your cotton wool. |

It therefore wouldn't surprise me if he posted that stuff on purpose, reasoning that if he'd get banned, it would divide the members on this forum again & probably even more, than they already were after the closing down of ‘his’ Thuban thread. (‘Elementary, my dear Watson.’) But maybe a slip of the pen has occurred – to show that he too, is only human – although that idea doesn’t seem very realistic to me, given the fact that nowhere in ‘his’ Thuban thread he ever lost his cool/control. My personal experience with the moderators of this forum is, that getting banned takes a serious effort. Whenever I posted something that was truly ‘not done’, I got either a warning, or an infraction, but I wasn’t right away, ‘out of the blue’ completely banned. I suppose there are other members who have been ‘out of line’ occasionally, who can comply with this. For the sake of the argument I’ll file these questions: 1) Did Abraxasinas receive a warning in order to take notice of the fact that his post(s) were not according to the rules of the forum? or, 2) Was he indeed straight away dumped/banned, without a chance to defend or apologize himself? If the answer to question 1. is ‘No’ & question 2. is answered by ‘Yes’, we have a, in my opinion, a serious problem. If, on the other hand, the answer is (1) 'Yes', & (2) 'No', than I suggest we quit attacking the moderators & start to support them in their ungrateful task. In either way I’d like bring back to remembrance that only a couple of days ago the forum was closed down, and I most certainly haven’t seen anyone complain about the efforts being made, to get PA back online. In fact it occurred to me that when PA disappeared, everybody gathered in the Avalon chatroom - all together: “Thank you, GaiaLove, for making this possible, & for setting up a chatroom, in your spare time, without any payment at all!” So, to anyone who doesn’t comply with the way PA is run I’d like to say: Either start your own ‘Project Whatever’, or stop the senseless moaning! |

Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
just to remind a few in this thread this forum is privately owned those that post are allowed to as long as they follow the guides lines . The fact that nothing was said if some one visited a thread 32 times or 100 means nothing and does not sweep the matter under the rug so to say making it ok .

Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
Dear gita, it is clear you are new to this forum and have only been registered for 3 months. All members are encouraged to read the forum rules before they post.
The forum guidelines state: THIS FORUM IS AGAIN AVAILABLE TO EVERY REGISTERED USER Discussions that promote illicit drugs, pornography, foul language, violence, racial / sexual / national intolerance, hate speech, personal insults, politically subversive acts or planning, will obviously not be tolerated. Posts that violate these guidelines will be removed and the posters membership reviewed. IP addresses are logged. The point of whether folks found the pictures hilarious or not isn’t the issue. The photos posted are clearly out of alignment with the guidelines as they are soft porn and should be deleted along with the other sexually related comments you made in your response, which is equally sexually offensive in content. When I originally viewed these photos previously on other forums they were amusing as was the circumstance. I don’t find them amusing here. There are other ways of breaking negative energy other then posting soft porn photos. You may not think what you wrote or the pictures you posted offensive but others do and Bill would not approve. Bill is the founder of this forum and having worked with him these many months I know he would be offended as well. And it is for this reason that I'm requesting you delete them... because of mutual respect for the founder of the forum and the other members who choose to honor the forum's guidelines. With much aloha, Carol

Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
All forums end like this. Bill and Kerry said in the John Lear vid about ATS being a CIA front when John was banned from there.
I know nothing of abraxias or the thuban thread. I just read thew first 5 pages of this and the last. What are the charges? let's hear it.put up or shut up. Vague references of soft porn? let's see it? Is it not a pot calling a kettle black when your own avatar can easily be called soft porn. You even have men posting they want to marry it! Is it not condecending to state a certain member has only been here 3 months. Criticize those that actually have a life and don't live on the avalon forum. Those with the most posts wins do they? And just to be in line with the flakeyness of it all after putting the boot into some poor bugger we end with- love to you all. (note how asking a question cannot be construed as a personal attack. Reporters do this all the time) |

To my mind and many here it is twisted information to lure. And yes...32 times I swung at it to get to the bottom of what might be an accurate view. And each time, it was dodged, or at the very most led to another lure of inaccurate information..again twisted to conform to the ideas being presented....So, this is my take on it. And 32 times, even though I found much of the material repulsive, and strewn with an "agenda"...that of the makings of a cult....did I say cult? Yes I did..A CULT...that, again in my mind was worthy of addressing. Have I done this to "protect" anyone? I'm not here to protect anyone. That is not my job. So "HOW DARE YOU" suggest that. I do however have the right to voice an opinion. And if my opinion is, that the first post is vulgar and laden with innuendo, then that is how I see it. I am not in the habit of hitting the report button. Reminds me of the school house tattle tale. And that is not something I would do. And I've seen many threads get shut down for much less. Now you imply that words cannot eat you, or distort you...well you might want to give that a second thought. As there are written words out there...much of it published..and ancient in fact that have distorted the whole world..and people have been following those words..and hanging on to those words for dear life. So think about that, and the effect that words used on that thread might sway someone to change their life for if they took it all in, and believed it all. As for the sexual nature of the posts...well, again we are entitled to our opinion..and the rules of the forum stand. And here is a clue..it was not I that reported the sexual nature of the thread, or the harassment ...I was just pointing out the obvious. As you seemed to not be offended by it, I would include you as one of the ones that seemed titillated and lured by it. so without question you should go follow your dragon.

First please note that I did not use any ‘sexually related comments’ in my response as you wrongly point out. Those were in quotation marks as those remarks were made by another ‘newbe’ on the thread so please re-read my post before commenting. As for the pics, they are from celebs in character so please send your complaint to Hollywood - and if you have something against the village people and Lego– well there’s nothing much I can say to that! I was also not aware that there was a ‘humour police’ roaming the forums and that there was a law against laughter. Please don’t imply just because I’ve been here for three months that I have less right than you – that’s just ego talk and I will not comment to that any further. Also please note that I already have a mum who long ago stopped telling me what I should or should not do. I do however welcome people’s opinions yet reserve the right to hold on to mine. My thanks to Transco and Haveblue for your common sense and support but apparently your post does not really count Haveblue as you’ve not notched up almost 2000 post to be even considered (just like myself). You can drag this out as much as you wish Carol but I’m not going to play that game and continue to explain myself as the whole thing is completely ridiculous. If you need to then please re-read my last posts as it explains it all. It continues to amaze me how some people try to project themselves as loving, caring and understanding but when it comes down to it they fail themselves miserably. It’s one thing to know one self as these things but it’s another thing to be and show yourself as such. Sigh... Peace. |

Re: Abraxas was banned and his group is closed
You know, I swore I wasn't going to log on today...
However, on logging on , I found that my consciousness had created a twelve page thread on Abraxinas in my two day absence. I could almost swear that I had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever... but that all depends on how you believe the universe works. Wow. "What is it trying to tell me?", I wondered. I mean I could have logged in and found everyone talking about small fluffy animals, or the latest sweet potato curry recipe. But no, it seems that after a week of downed forums and an argument (perhaps) between our foster parents, what my wonderful subconsciousness, or the subconsciousness of the universe (for they are the same , innit?) wants is... more of the same. As in, same poo, different day. Can I even say 'poo' here? Don't wish to be scattalogically offensive. Anyway, I thought Abraxinas originally had something to do with Abraxas, one of my altime favourite albums by Santana. Check it out if you have Spotify or some such. When my first glance at the original thread revealed that this was not about slashing guitar solos, I wandered away. Because I don't generally understand or 'get' channeled or privy information that can only be got from a single source. In my life, truth is a truth wherever you find it, and discovery of that truth is a truth for all, if I tell you about it, you should be able to verify for yourself that it is indeed a truth for you too. You may have noticed, but these kinds of truth are quite small on the ground, and generally quite simple. Would anyone here deny the existence of love? Of how it feels, to feel love for someone, or to feel loved by someone. To feel love for the human race, or for plants, or animals or rocks, or parsnips? So I'm fairly happy in my own mind that love is a truth. What point would there be in me discussing anything else that I'm not sure of? Well, love and music. That's two truths for me then. well, love, music, and sunshine..makes you feel good, that's three truths, Love, music, sunshine and a sense of community. Er, I'll come in again... [Monty Python's spanish inquisition reference ] A sense of community. That would be nice. That's why I log in, because I'm willing to believe that a sense of community is what the human race is missing. I don't know this. This last one is an exploration. That's why I joined. See? I've got my hand up. Anyone else looking for that too? To see that the human race is one community, the 'good' and the 'bad' is to place us all in the same boat. there is no them, there is no us, there is no 'shesaid...' there is no 'hesaid...' whatever you like about A, you like about yourself. Whatever you dislike about B, you detest in yourself. This is a simple truth that is working for me. So how can I be angry about him or her, how can I say this to them (me?) ? In the words of that Radiohead song (you do it to yourself, you do..you and no one else) Peace and love to you all, K P.S. I'm putting in an order to my subconscious about small fluffy white animals and recipes next time I'm away. |
