No offense, but FFLife prior to the rule was just yours, spraigs, and judys playground and all you guys did was make everybody totally crazy trying to keep up. I passed over months of postings of 200+ posts per day after you guys came because I didn't know where to start reading or if there would ever be something of content. Ironic about the article about politicizing the law of the country from Judy because this is what you and her do best - politicize the truth until nobody wants to share in your bickering reality any longer. However, of the three of you I never once read something from spraig of his own thought, he just sounded like a farting lout, with a mike and OCR taped between his legs. Judy, I am happy to not understand. Barry however, does honestly contribute, and I don't see anything in his demeaner besides some smugness that warranted the ten year assault against him from the Lawson Judy team. Honestly, they are the two main reasons this group went to shit. Those are the two who have rattled this group without adding the slightest value for content. Just because someone copies some interesting tidbit from the net doesn't make them a netizen. No. To be a netizen for real one must respect the net and others. It is not a dumping station for any old shit. Respect. And then, if one doesn't respect, say it, but then let it go. Judy, your continued attacks on Barry have made me really not like you. I don't care for bullies, and the worst sort are those who turned bully after being in the reverse position for most of their lives.

I thought you were going > to try and curb the baiting comments. Jeez, Geez. There you go reading ill intent into things again. I took the comment to be a Christ metaphor, with its clear parallels to the stable in which He was born. The teaspoon represents our lowly and ineffective means of dispensing with ignorance, as opposed to the silver vajra shovel of the enlightened. Have you forgotten all of the positivity that you learned in your TM days? Time to have the prescription on your golden glasses checked, dude. :-) More seriously, if I may be so bold as to say it, I think that the "boring" thang that some people are putting words to is an expression of a reali- zation -- that *they* don't really have much to say unless there is something pithy said here by someone *else* for them to bounce off of. We've all gotten used to being able to log on to Fairfield Life and find at least a few posts that we can comment on in a manner that reflects our Mood Of The Day. If we're feeling angry, we click Next until we find something that allows us to give vent to that anger, and then "let fly." If we're feeling self-important, we click Next until we find some post that we can interpret as a challenge to that self-importance and again, "let fly." In a few rare cases, if we're feeling good we respond to the positive or funny posts with more positivity or humor. But the bottom line is that 90& of the posts here -- out of habit -- are REACTIVE. I think that the "New FFL" is a Good Thing. It *does* have more "silence," and that's a Good Thing because it's more like a Quaker meeting than a pile-on argument at the corner bar. In Quaker meet- ings no one says anything UNLESS THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. I suspect that that's the case with the "New FFL." Give it some time. I think that *most* people here have something to say, if they are just given enough time to realize it and get over the need to respond compulsively to What Other People Say. I'm a FAN of the New, Improved Fairfield Life. I made only one post yesterday because I didn't have anything else to say. But that's Ok. Sometimes silence really is a great deal more "blessed" than the belief that one has to fill every silence with the noise of gums flapping. Bottom line? If you want to have more to say on a spiritual forum, have more spiritual experiences. And then share them.
