Quote:While this leaves plenty of space to discuss and examine the negative polarity, we ask that members assume that all who are participating on the forums are either consciously polarizing positively, or are, at least, not polarizing negatively. While any one of us may engage in behavior that carries aspects of the service-to-self path, and while some members make certain claims about their own polarity, in nearly eight years of maintaining a community, we have yet to see an actual member consciously polarizing service to self on the forums.
It appears that it, as well as several other guidelines (many of which I helped draft) that have been broken in this thread, still exist. For what it's worth I think the caveat there doesn't even matter. It shouldn't be the job of the moderators to decide if they think someone is consciously polarizing service to self - it should be their job to ban trolls who have clearly stated their intentions to not play nice. This poster gave us a manifesto of their intentions, including that they were here to mine the good intentions of others here on this forum to gain more service to self polarity - so why are they allowed to continue unabated, even encouraged?
Quote:5) Negative Philosophies
Ours is a forum dedicated to the exploration, promotion, and living of the service-to-others polarity as defined in the Law of One material. This does not mean that discussions about the service-to-self polarity are prohibited, only that promotion of philosophies and information which:
*exhibit elements of deception and manipulative thinking
*generate fear
*reject or discourage universal love
*encourage or promote control of self or others
are considered to be not in alignment with the principles of spiritual evolution espoused by Confederation sources and are thus subject to moderation and/or removal.
Well, some moderators have lengthy conversations with this individual of which feel is not a huge deal but does go against the clear guidelines. Basically speaking, this is now a place where negative polarizing people may come to (.....).
