Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi Alton, > I thought attacking someone on a personal level was calling > them names and not challenging their arguments. I'd put it slightly differently. If you say negative things about Judi (not necessarily names) it's an attack. If you say negative things about her arguments, that's okay. > So please reply where I used personal attacks on Judi, > because I sure don't want to loose you as a friend. I can't imagine why this would stop us from being friends. Here's an example. You were talking here about Judi as a person, not her arguments: > MT's says Judi can give it but wont take it. > > Some of the stuff I posted to Judi came from you, but not > specifically about Judi. I am not going to reveal what because > that too would certainly end our friendship. Even mentioning it > above could kill it. I hope not. If you hope not, then what are you mentioning it for? > I probably am carrying over some hidden anger toward her > from her banning me on her group. When someone defended > me she banned that person too. I'm sorry that happened, but this forum isn't an appropriate place for the fight to continue. > I hope I don't have to say, " oh no not another banning " > GRIN It's totally up to you. > Actually with my Cancer moon I have been quite sensitive > and a number of years ago when someone attacked me I > would not go on line for days to recover from the hurt.... > ...When attacked I am as centered as a tight rope walker on > top of the Empire State building. Jesus, Alton. If it's so painful, why are you getting yourself into situations where you get attacked? It's really not necessary. Most people don't do that. > If someone gets obnoxious and is offering teachings that > do not free but delude, do we not confront them? I think it's fine to confront the teachings but it's not fine to attack the teacher -- not in this forum, anyway. But if I could make a suggestion -- Why don't you write about Alton instead of Judi? You know more about Alton. You care more about Alton. What's more important to you? -- confronting Judi or liberating Alton?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Dear Deb, I'm not going to argue with anything you said here about Judi. Let's agree for argument's sake that it's all correct. The question remains, however: Why do you care enough about her to write such a long letter? The reason I ask is because I directed a similar question at myself a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be very fruitful. Over the years I had often found Judi irritating. It wasn't till a few weeks ago, though, that I got around to asking myself the obvious question: WHY do I get irritated by Judi? When I investigated the matter, it turned out the answer had to do entirely with me and not at all with Judi. And it involved something that damaged my pride. Oddly enough, since I found the answer to the question, Judi doesn't irritate me anymore. Now she just makes me smile. Best wishes, Rob P.S. Thank you for this: > Notice I have not labelled you .. I could say you are this or > that, I could say you are many things, oh so many things - > you give me so much ammunition... This is a good example of what Alton and I were talking about (confronting what people say instead of attacking them personally). - deb Realization Thursday, April 10, 2003 1:23 AM Judi's Ghost? Hi Judi, now it is my turn to say .. YOU do not understand! I have read what you offered here, and I have read your site from top to bottom, several times. You are not offering me anything more than what I have seen written in many other places, in other words what you are offering is not unique. Well, apart from the abuse that is, that is -- so let's move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
