Completely random, but why did you call yourself Caledonia? I only ask because that's the name of my street.

Electrosonic i see where this forum is headed for and it has nothing to do with the Jews or Hitler God forbid.
I am just saying that recently this forum suffered from a monstrous attack of some of the most outrageous trolls.
If we dont take any measures now those people will inundate the forum with their stupid trolling remarks.
This guy with the predator's mind book is just a mild one and Archaea and Mariucz and the like are only the beginning.
In case you havent noticed yet but we on this thread has been talkind for a few days about some stupid cow remark and the meaning of the word flap while there are so many urgent and interesting things goinng on around us.
We must take measures to achieve the purity of the forum by getting rid of those who lost faith and now do nothing but troll.
We ve been warned by the C's and if we dont do that we will regret this one day.
Caledonia is the name for Scotland. An old name.
Yes i would be banned but only then because now i follow the rules and if you dont want any other worse than me trolling guys with some evil agendas take measures. I had no Evil agenda just wanted some questions answered by the C's. As soon as i gotthem i reformed.

Funny, I thought that showing one's 'true colors' via participation in this board - including dealing with and responding to the problematic characters - was that sort of testing.
How are genuine searchers going to find and discover if this group is a good fit for them if it's locked down more?

Caledonia, the forum did NOT just suffer a "monstrous attack." Just some people stating what they thought. Also, the Cs just said it's important to air these issues out. Believe me the mods and all do protect the forum from trolls. A quick look at any unmoderated forum would show that. Have some faith in the process! It wouldn't be a good idea to define trolls to broadly. A balance is always needed.

Yeah, & now we're going to spend days talking about your remark no doubt.
It's not just about following the laws, its about following the spirit of the laws.
Your post didn't seem to have any difference in intent from the ones you've mentioned.
Caledonia said:
Have a little faith in the process, Caledonia. I DO know what I'm doing!
However, I do think that I ought to clarify something about the session. My deep impression was that the Cs were talking about really covert types on the forum who never talk about their beefs but rather send PMs to other members and, after expressing their own "I'm so good, all I wanted to do was HELP... and they were so bad to me... " then invite the other person (who they have identified as probably having a gripe too, similar to Archaea's) to complain also by saying "you agree? what do you think?"
I would much rather see such a discussion, including complaints, carried on openly. Yes, it may end with a conclusion that this just isn't the right place for some individuals, but let's allow the individuals in question the opportunity to figure that out one way or the other. And we all might learn something in the process, even if what we learn is that there are some people who have no manners at all.
ADDED: I would like to know Archaea's age and social/educational background. That will help me a lot to better understand where s/he is coming from.

Caledonia, you're far too obsessed by keeping things pure. Sometimes the fun learning comes from dealing with those people & situations that are well outside of your normal scope.
Personally i find that some of the so-called 'troll' comments generate lots of decent advice from forum members that is worth its weight in gold.
It seems from Archaea's initial post that s/he is not really here to engage in The Work, so to say. I think that is something that should be clarified. If one is only here to discuss the limited range of topics listed in the intro post below, then there should be no reason to engage with other forum members who ARE here to engage in The Work. One would think that posts from such an individual would be put only in science threads. There ARE a few people on the forum like that, who never engage with other topics.
So, Archaea, if you aren't interested in The Work, you probably ought to say so and just stick to your particular topics and hope that there is someone else interested in same to engage with you. However, I will say that your list would probably be received better on a different type of forum.

Yes electrosonic i agree that sometimes i may sound too obsessed. Sorry my bad. Wont do that again. But it was just a friendly suggestion.
Thank you Laura for your reply and i think you are right but anyway it would be useful anyway to never let our protection down just in case. Watch out. I will try to have more faith in the Work and in the forum. Actually eversince i took this road to mental sobriety and flushed all of the former rubbish notions out of my head i began to understand that i myself could have been possessed by some entity. But now it is over. So thank you so much.
On a different note regarding what you said last session that there are no questions i at least have a few. After reading the article by Joe about the crashed Germanwings plane i believe everyone would benefit if you asked that in the next session because as i see it now from the ensuing comments many are at a loss and so am i. It could be all natural or a FFA with a mind controlled co-pilot.

That's ok Caledonia, you don't have to apologize to me. Your posts add to my development as much as mine add to yours.
Caledonia said:
You can be sure that my awareness of the range of dangers in my environment is pretty well honed by over 20 years of full-scale attack both directly and indirectly. We generally tend to discuss most of that "in-house", so to say, and publish very little of it though the mods are kept informed when an attack is underway. I prefer to keep my friends close and my enemies ignorant.

I've read the wave and adventures with Cassiopaea (a while ago now) on the old cassiopaea.com site, and I'm currently reading High Strangeness, which I'm enjoying despite my personal antagonisms towards you and possible serious mental disease. I also understand that you've had five children, so you know a lot more than me about responsibility (I just have a dog.) From what I know of you I think you have a kind soul, so, as a deranged lunatic, I'm asking you to please spare a thought for the other nut jobs before you phaser blast () them off the forum.

I have a few suggestions as well on standards and protocols for banning people. I not going put them in this post though because I'm not sure anyone's still reading this , I will say though that I think this...

A "deranged lunatic", "one with possible serious mental disease" may not really be ok as humorous statements, and you have to be careful when describing yourself in those terms, even sarcastically, for the sake of yourself. Nothing to do with big words and big stuff like Work or even this forum - just plain old common sense for existing on the bbm in present times.

This guy said he was working on an E-book about the predators mind. You said that in your experience what he was saying was wrong, which I think is OK to say or even a good thing to say. But then you tell him that you doubt anyone here is interested and to create his own website and preach from there. Then you banned him.
I think maybe you were making assumptions about where this guy was coming from. Maybe he was here to be subversive and distract from the mission of the forum, or maybe he was here to try and help discover the truth, and being insta-banned felt to him like an act of unwarranted emotional abuse.

Since you are interested in science, I would say that in this instance, you are "not even wrong", as Wolfgang Pauli might say.

I can see how this stirs feeling, yet this is nothing new for the forum, and that is why many hands and eyes help the overall network to learn about themselves and others. Sometimes people are undergoing their own inner turmoils and react from a myriad of programs that have become their norm. Sometimes, with some help from others, they are able to shake off their inner taints and begin to see in a more objective way; themselves and others, OSIT. I certainly count myself as a person who benefited from many uncomfortable exchanges due to personal programs and am grateful for the lessons.
It seems to me that the forum has grown not from its filtering of anything seen to be negative, its collective spirit rises to understand and to point out to people what it sees - objectively, individually and collectively. I'm trying to think of an example whereby this type of thing is not confined to a forum medium, yet to an actual situation. So if a small community or village works together and someone within acts in ways that it becomes obvious that help is needed, people listen and together act to help them or to help those around them see things more clearly - it naturally helps all. If it is someone coming in from the outside exhibiting questionable behaviors, rather than shutting the window blinds, people of the community will learn together; ask questions, offer help and await responses. In the end the community may ask them to leave - ultimately though, the lesson has not been wasted and the community has continued to learn.
