KO'd,
I totally agree with Lila's (RMP's) words. We are multifaceted
patterns, and other people are merely mirrors of our own value.
My objection was to being honest on this list. Within Second Life,
or Warcraft, or whatever, I don't care what role you want to
play. But on this MD List and Offlist, I want honesty as best it can
be experienced. If one want's to play a role, just be honest about
it. The issue with me was honesty, not identity.
I don't want to get into this Arlo argument. I might have once been
naive, but I no longer think of this list as a place of honesty. I
try to be honest, but everyone else is playing games... Well, dmb is
not playing games, but that's why he is one of my heros.
I miss being able to look into your eyes.
