forum shadow, love it or hate it?

[Aaron]

i don't want this discussion to be only about B4 but message boards in general. if anyone has any views. but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SAYING THAT I'M BEING A RUDE GUEST PEOPLE, if you WANT, start a thread saying Oceania is a rude guest. but keep it out of here or the old crap will start again. i personally consider it off topic to talk about that. i'm looking for an actual discussion and if people give me actual fodder for thought, i will keep an open mind to possibly changing my views. i just don't understand why a simple question makes me a rude guest?

I don't think it makes you a rude guest. But I think I've said everything I can on your subject. I'm honestly not knowledgeable about how other forums handle disputes. Yossarian shared a little of that, and I considered it very healthy and useful information. I know that you said you've been a moderator of a different forum before. Do you have anything to share regarding that?

I agree with you that personally attacking your character isn't in line with the first guideline, and shouldn't be taking place here. But in my absolutely honest opinion, I feel like you're taking things that people are saying too seriously, and getting upset because of that. If I were in your position, I would calmly explain myself to members who get the wrong idea about what you're trying to discuss, instead of getting angry at them.

Putting into practice the anger exercise from the Ra Material I mentioned earlier might also help:

46.9 Questioner: Certainly.
Ra: The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived not as folly in itself but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.

Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began.

The negatively oriented mind/body/spirit complex will use this anger in a similarly conscious fashion, refusing to accept the undirected or random energy of anger and instead, through will and faith, funneling this energy into a practical means of venting the negative aspect of this emotion so as to obtain control over other-self, or otherwise control the situation causing anger.

Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of catalyst. Between these polarities lies the potential for this random and undirected energy creating a bodily complex analog of what you call the cancerous growth of tissue.
