mvingon Posted December 19, 2016 So, I made that phone call, had to leave a message. In the meantime, I got an email from the forum, saying white rabbit has replied to an earlier post. Clicked the link, was taken to a page that said I'm not allowed to view the topic. Really? Lol'd. That's why people on Facebook are so woefully full of disinformation! Block anyone who is of differing opinion, friend EVERYONE who agrees with hive mind. Dao Bums are awesome! Thanks for enlightening us all with your immortal wisdom! So glad you made *logical* posts, so that I can see the truuuuue way! :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Posted December 19, 2016 Probably just means you need to sign in. Happens to me all the time. Yep, that's almost certainly what happened, especially considering the forum software doesn't have a mechanism whereby a Bum can block another Bum from reading a particular post. It is a bit of a giggle, mind you, just not the way the OP envisioned it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvingon Posted December 19, 2016 I thought so too. Same thing. Then I thought, maybe I clicked the wrong link. No. It is what it is, and to me, that's funny. At least I got awake with a laugh, this morning. Grinning ear-to-ear, now. Not bothering to message the admin. Cliques abound, and if I have to agree with everything people want me to agree with, to be in the IN clique, it's just not going to happen. I'll tell the truth as I see it, and if more information and logic and critical thinking changes my mind, I'll correct what I've said, if I remember posting misinformation or disinformation. But I'm simply not falling all over myself and anyone else to fit in. That said, if I need more information on something to form an informed opinion, I'll ask and search the internet. Thanks for your reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kar3n Posted December 19, 2016 The thread in question was hidden by one of our stewards inadvertently, so that might be why you could not view it. The thread is back open now. FYI, the area you posted in, Daoist Discussion is governed by owner permissions and some posts might be hidden if they are off topic, so don't be surprised if you post there, veer off the subject, and it disappears. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvingon Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Thanks. Well my analogy, which I used the Christian Bible to make was hidden. Guess that was considered off topic. The reply was also hidden. I'm still laughing. It's okay, I'm done with it. Screenshots, if you want them. I don't feel they need to be made public. "Always leave a exit route, unless you intend to slaughter or be slaughtered." I don't know who said it. Someone smarter than me.

I'm personally not part of a single clique here. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they get to wear special jackets or something? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvingon Posted December 20, 2016 No way, but they do get to comfort each other with "you are right, they are wrong." Here's the thing: we're all us, we're all them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawei Posted December 20, 2016 No way, but they do get to comfort each other with "you are right, they are wrong." Here's the thing: we're all us, we're all them. yes... no reason to poke fun at the issue,except folks want to. But to push an agenda or poke fun at an agenda... seems the same.... but in either case, I will observe the fun folks have on their side of it... which means... they continue to create sides, in a way... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mvingon Posted December 20, 2016 Not red? For kicking butt?! Blue jackets or hats, white tees, and red boots should do it. Nothing says americ... Wait, I can't type that word, here. Nothing says exceptionalist, like red, white and blue, hunh? :-P I do rather prefer to laugh, than cry tears of despair. Which, in real, actual life today was a bit of a challenge. Still, I'm smiling, now. Nope. Grinning. Still, your point is noted. I'll let that percolate, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
