Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 B: OK Pete.but NO ONE is putting a funnel in your mouth.If it's all too much..and certainly it may be, in the number of posts that I put on the board, if you will...just click past 'em. P: Yes, That is what I do. I hardly read anything you write, unless, it's about one of my posts, but, again, it was you who felt addressed by my post, so, I think, you should ask yourself, why words are U?

Good for you kid. Now maybe this wasn't addressed to me.. see I can get confused too. Are you addressing yourself as U here then? Oh forget it Pete.you don't read these things anyway. And I love U too. ......bob > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Just for the record, I don't find the quantity or content of Bob's posts offensive at all. Nor do I believe he is harming anyone. How do other members feel? I don't mean you, Larry. We already know how you feel. Lol. Or you, Pete. You've made yourself clear. Or you, Len. You've made your point also. Besides these three members, how do others look at Bob's posts? Personally, I can't read all of them. I just don't have the time. Even if I did have time to read them, I don't think I would because they really are pretty long and some of them are a bit too cerebral for my brain but overall, I like what I do find time to read of his posts. The question is why? Why do I like to read Bob's posts? I think it might have a little to do with the fact that I'm a sucker for sensationalism(?), entertainment(?), I'm not sure what the right word is. But I think you know what I mean. Or maybe not. There are some posters I don't bother reading anymore only because I canT handle a bunch of bla-bla-bla for nothing. Like my posts sometimes. Lol. But I don't care if nobody reads them. Some people do, some people don't. I think it's just a matter of differences in taste and of how much time people have on their hands. My time is limited to reading a few posts at a time and so I've fallen into a pattern of going for all the ones that I think might keep me interested. They have to grab my attention right away or else i click on to the next one. Plus i'm a pretty slow reader. Stuff takes a while to sink in for me because i have trouble focusing my attention on any one thing for any length of time. So, anyway, that's what I think about all Bob's posts and that's what i do with everybody's. Silver Nisargadatta , " Bob N.

I actually prefer it to moderated forums where everything which doesn´t fit into moderator´s idea about what´s right and wrong is being censored. If I don´t like something, it´s a good opportunity to watch my reaction to it, which is much more interesting and valuable then trying to get rid of what I don´t like. It is also very easy to just skip messages I´m not interested in. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does come down to simply observing how we react or respond to certain things we read here. It helps one to know oneself a little better. Thanks.
