yes, and as we continue to move past the "event" things will
continue to get better.
I'm down for calling it a "higher power" event. (-:

Is this an obituary?
I'm trying hard to shed a tear, but it's just not happening. (-:
I was pretty positive half of FFL was going to leave as soon as
they found out Doug was going to be the moderator and I said so
to various people. Funnily enough, that didn't happen and doesn't
appear to be going to happen. I guess everyone currently posting
here just can't quite pull themselves away. Part of it is
addiction, part seems to be the love of drama and some of it
seems to be that some consider it their second home. Let's see
who voluntarily unsubscribes first, either in disgust or as a
protest move. I'm pretty sure, if things stay the way they are
currently, that it will be no one. But I like to be surprised.

This place may just fade into the woodwork. It does get tiresome.
I am pretty sure Barry was feeling wearisome about it. He did
post many marvellous things. His not being here seems the result
of a personal vendetta at the hands of the moderator. The problem
with power is it reveals one's corruption. Judy seemed to lose
interest, maybe she just got tired. Her method of posting did not
seem to have changed. Barry challenged people at the gut level as
well as at the intellectual level. The gut level is much more
difficult to respond to because it activates the lower emotional
brain functions, and the intellect goes into hibernation as a
result. You even see this in the Bhagavad-Gita: 'From anger
delusion occurs, from delusion bewilderment of memory, after
forgetfulness of memory, the loss of spiritual intelligence, and
losing spiritual intelligence, one perishes'.

Both, Barry and Judy are no longer posting here. I also
losing my inclination to post here.
Is it time for Rick to shut down FFL? Nothing lasts forever.
All things must end.
If Barry were around he would have quoted Nietzsche.
"Not only the wisdom of centuries --- also their madness
breaketh out in us. Dangerous is it to be an heir."

I must say I'm impressed at your patience with this bullshit
Xeno. But perhaps it's time to point out the irony in what's
happening. Here we have a bunch of people with not much to say
about anything claiming that "mean old Bawee" stopped them from
posting because he was such a mean old meanie.
And here they are pouring abuse on you in the same way they claim
he used to get at them! I've said these people have no sense of
awareness but isn't this taking it too far? I think that amoeba I
posted about yesterday has a better grasp of what's going on than
Ms "Back for More".
Lets make a challenge out of it. If it was the Big Bad Wolf
stopping conversations here then why haven't they started again?
How come it's looking more like a teenage girl's facebook page
every day?
If you were being prevented from posting, start posting. Start a
thread, say something interesting, tell us something we didn't !
know, give us an insight into something - anything.
But stop this dumb harassment of Xeno, you're just making
yourself look stupid, he's got more to say than the rest of us
put together.
If you can't manage a whole thread you can share brain cells
until you've thought of something. Better still, have a look back
through the archives at some of Barry's pieces about creative
writing. He posted some good essays on how to get started on the
subject because, like me, he got fed up of the lack of
participation and one line posts that add nothing that infest
this place.
But any appreciation of Barry's writing and contributions about
archaeology, travel or history or even TV reviews would be a way
of admitting that he made up a huge part of what was worth
reading. Can't have that eh? Got to paint him bad and use him to
blame your lack of meaningful participation on.
When was the last time Judy started a thread? Hell, when was the
/first /time Judy started a thread!
Make an effort, stop the hypocriti! cal bullshit or this place
will drown in bland your pap.
