Dear Rick, As an old friend I really feel that you should not just yield
FairfieldLife [FFL] over to the culture of unkindness that has come to
overrunning and now overtaken the FairfieldLife [FFL] community on
Yahoo-groups. Yep, a substantial disciplined period of silence should be good
for the whole group. A little time-out quiet time.
Sincerely, -Buck in Fairfield, Iowa
"And so from this principle of man's being silent, and not acting in the
things of God of himself, until thus actuated by God's light and grace in the
heart, did naturally spring that manner of sitting silent together and waiting
together upon God. As every one is thus gathered, and so met together inwardly
in their spirits as well as outwardly in their persons, there the secret power
and virtue of life is known to refresh the soul, and the pure motions and
breathings of God's spirit are felt to arise."

Dear Rick, How about 12 Days of a Holiday Silence starting Christmas Day going
in sync with Christendom up to the Epiphany, Jan 6th as a re-starter for FFL?
In so many ways this is the season of renewal, let FFL spiritually re-set
itself in its own ephiphanaic time of inner silence, -Buck
There is in fact a lot going on in Fairfield, Iowa spiritually but those more
substantial things get shared and said elsewhere and not much outside of
Fairfield, Iowa. This forum should either be taken back or else have its ruins
more appropriately labeled and renamed to, The_Abyss.

Why don't you share what's been going on in Fairfield? I even find your views
and news on farming interesting.
Nope, posting to this forum of Rick's any of a current of real things about
Fairfield, Iowa and the meditating community here is too much like casting
pearls before the swine or trying to turn a sow's ear in to a silk purse. -

You can but warn such a one as follows the message and fears the most gracious,
unseen: give such a one, therefor, good tidings, of forgiveness and a reward
most generous.
The word is proved true against the greater part of them:
For they do not believe. We have put yokes round their necks up to their chins.
So they cannot bow their heads.
And we have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further. We
have covered them up, so they cannot see.
Dear Rick,
Negotiating with terrorists? Nope, however I do find that Re-naming,
Re-branding this place in to The-Abyss is a good middle way of dealing with it.
It, the forum's seep in to The_Abyss is very descriptive of how it has gone
down on the old list here.
You know in our protecting the brand of FFL as it is under attack, then of
course as an an old and conservative Fairfield, Iowa meditator I should feel
categorically that we should not negotiate with terrorists. It's a bad
precedent in strategy. Can't beat 'em head-on then flank 'em.

Buck - yer so right...
Dear Rick; Yes, let us start with a healthy period of silence on FFL and then
re-title the home page over to: The_Abyss. That new title would better
represent the forum as it has devolved in to the hands of mostly non-Fairfield
neganauts. Let us start anew in a period of silence. Let us have no thing here
until at the least, 12 January 2015. -Buck in Fairfield
Dear Rick;
Yep, great idea. Re-name/re-brand the Fairfieldlife group. Re-title FFL on
the home page to: The_Abyss at Yahoo-groups. Now that quite transparently and
truthfully seems a positive and honest idea. -Buck in Fairfield, Iowa
Dear Rick, Aryavazhi here has a brilliant Idea..
but have a different idea: In response to the recent exodus from FFL, rename
the [FFL] group to: The_Abyss
Let FFL on Yahoo-groups take a long period of silence towards re-grouping what
once we had in more golden times of FFL.
With Fond Regards,
-Buck in Fairfield, Iowa
The seasonal long night is upon us now!
Would be a great time to start a renewal for FFL:
December Solstice 2014: December 21, at 23:03 UTC.

It would be a fine time to start towards re-setting FFL's rightful bearings.
Let FFL take a period of silence, a time out; let it take a long quiet time
meditation for some while in hibernation. This would be a firm step in communal
progress. It is a shame otherwise to just let it be overrun and taken over by
the unkindness it has become.
Respectfully, -Buck in Fairfield
Rick it is not being unreasonable asking for this. It is time now to act to
realign FFL away from the malignancy of unkindness that has become entrenched

skies and glistening waters of purity and abstemiousness of words, by indulging
FFL in a cone of silence at least until December 25th.
Rick; to save FFL I feel you should just suspend the posting function to FFL
for a good while.
Yes, let us have a holiday of silence on FFL. A FFL going-on-holiday in to
and then coming out of a silence then anew in the making of something kinder
like a renewing of the communal FFL forum.
Dear Rick, Yes host an extended period of FFL silence. Do let there be Silence
until 12 January on FFL. At the least. Thence in coming out of such reforming
silence have FairfieldLife join unto that traditional day of January 12th.
You know, that time within the old meditating community of renewed
spirituality, vitality, clarity and thence more life-supporting activity as
then coming out of silence.
-The FFL Patriarch of Peace and Heaven on Earth, Buck in the Dome
Dear Rick, towards administratively enforcing a No-fly Zone over the posting
of unkindness on FFL, it is an excellent time right now given the course of
events to plan and start such a counter-attack so as to take back our branding
of FairfieldLife once again by first dis-engaging the unkindness that gets
posted here and letting those people so inclined to re-pattern their lives
otherwise in reformative silence for a period of time.
Rick there is a chance present here, a fine opportunity now to take back FFL
and recapture its franchise, the Brand of FFL from the unkindness that has
swept over the forum. “Now is the Winter of Dis-content.” Make it ours again, a
free and open forum again reserved and preserved as a place for kind
thoughtfulness. It is time to have a strict No-fly Zone over FFL at
Yahoo-groups. Let FFL go silent for a time. Give it a fallow rest.
-Buck
A winter break, imposing a No-Fly-Zone over FFL. This would be a kindness.
Rick, take and assume a moral leadership and set direction in executive action
on this now as timely initiative in the re-alignment of FairfieldLife at
Yahoo-groups with Yahoo-groups guidelines.
Sincerely, -Buck, the Patriarch of Peace on FairfieldLife
Dear Rick;
21 December coming is the first day of Winter. Let it be the first day of
Peace on FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. It [the first day of Winter] should be
a good day to begin a dormancy on FFL, a winter's hibernation, a negotiating
planned disengagement of the culture of unkindness that has unbecome
FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. Sincere regards, -Buck
Dear Rick, Asserting and instilling a period like a seasonal silence over FFL
as a gesture would place more of a firm grip as moral leadership towards
reforming the general unkindness that spread across FairfieldLife at
Yahoo-groups, it would be very good to extend such a suspended silence upon FFL
even unto first day of Spring [March 20th 2015] whence fairer flowers springing
might arise anew coming out of such reformative depth as a reflective period so
imposed administratively as a reflective moral silence of a long and silent
communal FFL winter. -Buck in Fairfield
Rick, it would be very good to extend such a suspended silence upon FFL even
unto the first day of Spring. [March 20th 2015]
Dear Rick, Instilling an administrative no-fly zone of silence over
FairfieldLife as a means of disengagement would be important moral leadership
in changing the manifest wreckage of unkind tone that this battlefield of FFL
has become. It is time to clear the FFL field spiritually.
I would support you in this,
-Buck, the Patriarch of Peace on FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups.
Yep silence FFL, suspend it, unto Easter Sunday [April 5, 2015] symbolic to
the resurrection of something anew and a new hope in the community that was FFL.
Dear Rick,
How about we take, at the least, the rest of the month of December and suspend
all posting at all to FFL? Start then with a kinder more gentle FFL anew with
posting on January 1st. Take some time off to re-group.
-Buck
Rick, we know and understand that you are busy however; have you been reading
any of the posts to FFL?
Rick, Just scroll down through the subject lines if you don't have time to
read the posts, they are appalling. -Buck
Rick, the neganauts here are playing you now to see how far they can take it.
Dear Rick, As an old Friend You see I really don't feel that you should yield
FairfieldLife over to the methodical negativity that has overrun and overtaken
our FairfieldLife [FFL] community on Yahoo-groups. Sincerely, -Buck
Rick, FairfieldLife [FFL] has been way too important to communal Fairfield
life in the past to just let it go to the aggressive dogs of unkind negativity
as some mean and now narrowed successor group caliphate of hateful neganauts.
The larger communal use of FFL that FFL could facilitate in communication:

Yes a general shutdown of posting to FFL but, One of the most urgent uses of
FFL for scholarly purposes is research into mining of the archive of FFL. The
amazing archive here tells a back-story of a community. Is there a way (?) to
keep the search function of the archive and also the files section open whilst
shutting off posting to FFL for a while in the FFL groups settings?

GOOD IDEA RICK & BUCK
Dear, Dear Rick; How about taking the month of December to suspend posting at
all to FFL? Start anew with posting on January 1st. Let thy people re-pattern
their lives silent as a period of time to reflect elsewhere. Time for a
re-groove, a retreading of the tires of the forum that is FairfieldLife. It
should be better for everyone and for what FFL would be.
