Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Bob and Epston are both on moderated status, which means I have to approve their messages. When someone is moderated, their messages are significantly delayed and if they still engage in personal attacks the message is deleted. I don't like doing this for many reasons: it creates unnecessary work for me, I don't like restricting freedom of speech and as some of the old timers know, among its peers this is perhaps one of the least moderated group. I don't try to push my " understanding " on the others because this list is dedicated to Maharaj (not my own insights) and all I ask is to respect for the satsang and respect the reasons why most people joined this list: for the love of Maharaj.

You know, a poem. " Larry, that is quite an unsavory remark you made there. What the hell was you point there anyway? It is *just a poem*? Huh? Any time someone writes a poem, that is a legitimate remark to make? It is *just* a poem? It is saying *absolutely nothing* to say " it is just a poem " Larry. Then you go on to put in your comment about " while picking his nose " . How puerile, absolutely idiotically juvenile! So there is your entire message: " L.E: It's just a poem Bill, written while he was picking his nose. You know, a poem. " (i.e. that is *all* that you wrote) Net content? None. Zippo. No content whatsoever. It is just your little puke on the list, your little stinky-poo input to add a little disgustingness to the mix. So Larry, I do think you do belong on the moderated status list, because Larry, you do tend to post stuff that is quite unsavory -- " bad taste " would be an understatement. So you are not as bad as Bob. Yes that is true. But that isn't saying much, is it? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted most of it because it contained mostly narrating Bob's old stuff...even though I kept asking for cooling period. By the way it seems Bob has left the list on his own accord.

My banishing spell on Larry somewhat worked! I asked for a permanent ban on Larry but, instead, I got him moderated. I suppose that'll do. Thank you to the Goddess (and to Hur, of course!) ;-) Your friendly neighbourhood witch, Silver P.S. I'm sorry Bob. I think the Goddess might have used you in Her plan to rid the list of Larry for the greater good of all. You may see yourself as a worthy sacrifice. Here's a word of advice: less is more. Hint, hint. If you heed my words, the Goddess may unmoderate you. Blessed be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, you won't have to moderate him. Bob can be interesting. Larry's just a jackass, in my humble opinion. In fact, I've turned him into one! :-) Your friendly neighbourhood witch, Silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
