skydog Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I know I have to apparantely quote some exact things hes said. But recently on a thread I made about nervousness, he seems to flood the thread, with his constant excessively hateful, arragant and insulting comments continously calling everyone on this forum 99.9% "new age fuck tards" Â Â Â In my opinion to continue to allow this kind of disrespect is unjust. Â It is not just me but many posters are bombarded with this kind of disrespect. Edited December 19, 2013 by skydog 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soaring crane Posted December 19, 2013 You're supposed to provide links directly to the thread and, better the specifc posts in the thread in question. Â Also, why did you post this in an open forum? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yabyum24 Posted December 19, 2013 It looked more like a general comment about new agers rather than an attack on forum members to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah I'm going to move this over a little, to regular office instead of moderation logs, once I wake up a bit... Â PS Skydog I've noticed if you want the mods to look at something, has to be exact links to the posts. But not like in this case they haven't noticed the thread at least. (report feature is good too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apech Posted December 19, 2013 report the posts - then its up to the mods - if they don't act you have to accept it - starting threads like this is a bad idea - guaranteed to make it personal - as in mod rules its not the person but what they say that should be addressed. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetsun Posted December 19, 2013 It looked more like a general comment about new agers rather than an attack on forum members to me. Â He doesn't ever attack any members directly so it is difficult to say he breaks any rules. It is clear though from Skydogs recent thread that a number of members are getting tired of him constantly repeating a select few mantras over and over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â It's a good job that those who are getting tired have the option to use the ignore button. Â Or they could use the opportunity attempt to cultivate a state of indifference perhaps? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thamosh Posted December 19, 2013 I second this. He recently sent me a pm to engage in some argument and then sent me more pms when I didn't do so..... Â Â He bashes chikung teachers, repeats himself constantly, makes accusations and insults other practitioners. He does this while providing no new info or insights into anything Taoist. No new teachers or books or training exps or just some insightful info on the path.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted December 19, 2013 Since we are talking about MPG anyways (and have already gone a bit off topic)... Â I've noticed something odd about More_Pie_Guy... he has somehow led to many realizations about myself and my path, through no deliberate action on his part (that I know of) whatsoever. Not like he's ever said to me "hey think about this", more like his mere existence, or the words he uses, or who he is, or the cultivation he's done, or something, seems to bring this out over and over. Â He has no idea I think... Â Much appreciated though, even the more difficult stuff, heh. Â I've noticed this with others as well, but more strongly with MPG, for myself anyways. Â Perhaps it's the MP aura or something (I'm only half joking). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? Do you like the controversy you generate? Do you want to insult people here?  If there are beings that are energetically close to John Chang's level here on this forum posting it's news to me.  Energetic development and cultivation are hard to quantify, so let's put it in terms of weight lifting. Say people I would consider to have cultivated themselves energetically to a significant level bench press weights in the quindecillions of kilograms, and everyone else I've ever spoken with in person or on a forum might be in the tens of miligrams.  I see that wide a gap in difference of ability.  Not only that that the training programs they have will never exceed lifting weights out of the milligram range by design.  The commonly held view is that there are hundreds of thousands "masters" who are super advanced and can do all this awesome stuff, and I don't believe that is true at all.  Even these masters at best might pump a few grams on their best of days, which is still lightyears behind an ascended being.  I don't know of any other weight training programs that help people go from lifting 10 miligrams to amounts beyond a quindecillion kilograms, other than system x and a few unknown others similar to it.  From my point of view at least in part this is a place to talk about lifting weights, and everyone else here is talking about how wearing a 10mg necklace charm makes them a weightlifter.  I just don't see it that way, sure I mean that's cool I guess but compared to the realization of ultimate human potential it's just well... absurd... at least to me it is anyway.  I am sure there are a lot of people who find happiness and inner peace or whatever else it is they find, but that's not my cup tea at all.
