I think clarkkent has hit the nail squarely on the head there!

Rather than cause ill feeling by branding someone, who's 1st language may NOT be english, a trouble maker, how about changing it to:

• Most helpful member on Avalon

Would you like me to change the thread title for you? Or would you prefer to do it yourself..?

A little presumptious of you there....don'tcha think.?
Your idea could create a kind of elitism. Hierarchy.
Not healthy.

I think talking gererally about the 'thought police' methods
etc.....is interesting and liberating. Naming people though could
be problematic.

They will just disappear, anyway, and come back with a different
user name.....

I'm not being a linguistic racist at all LOCOAZ2008, you misunderstood my post

Let me explain. When I stated the some members 1st language may not be english I meant that as it was not their native language, the posters sense of humour and phrasing may not come across the way the poster intended it to, and therefore it may be mi-construed.

Does that clarify things..?

you got to have one hell of a case to put forth such accusation.....

"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for
people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
-Noam Chomsky

What works for me, after a long time of letting myself be afronted by unconscious people, is to simply ignore a vibration that is not in alignment with the highest truth I have access to, and support and acknowledge that which does.

Just listen to your heart, and "tune out" whatever doesn't jibe. If we react, we feed it. It ain't no thang...it has no power over us if we don't react. Just keep focused on that which brings you joy, upliftment, higher truth.....

For the life of me i can't see what King Lear's name is doing on a trouble makers list. I suggest you nip this in the bud, apologise to King Lear and then delete it.

No doubt there are fake posters on this board as there are everywhere else. If you ask me they will define themselves more by continual and exaggerated fawning and back slapping of those views and posts which are most dis-informational. This is how credibility is built for ideas that deserve it the least. Exaggerated and continual flattery is the common currency. This kind of M.O. is a much safer place to hide than the abrasive challenge of critical thinking..

Not saying that i consider every that compliment is a spook but that the insincere come wearing all kinds of masks. It shouldn't be assumed that dissent is poisoning the 'church'.
