Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Has Avalon been hijacked under the nexus disguise?

Funny how some people seem to throw a fit when one is being critical, while others do their best to brush it over like nothing ever happened.
What's wrong with engaging in the matter (as long as it doesn't suck up lots of time)?

I find it strange that the question is if Avalon has been hijacked. No, it hasn't been hijacked, you can post what you wish. No absolute power on here has been corrupted, there is merely a huge magnet that sucks in all the 'feel good' (excuse me but finding an appropriate term is beyond me right now) meditators. That's fine by me.
The hijacking however does happens if we merely stand by and let someone else take the steering wheel.

The question is then the one of undermining the functioning of this board. I think, that to a degree might have happened, and I only say it with reluctance but whatever is going on in the Nexus thread is in a way syphoning away peoples attention or motivation, or at least has done so during winter (northern hemisphere mind me) to bring the forum to this inactivity.

Again, I do not oppose the Nexus 2012 as such, but I have serious concerns about the way its undertaking has been initiated and developed. It doesn't feel to me like empowerment of the individual within a group, it looks more like the individual is suckered into the group.
Fair enough, working with that large a number one is always betting on the 'follower mentality' so I won't throw myself off a cliff there. Why, however do all the critical thinkers and intuitives that don't feel like joining the Nexus just stand in silence with their mouth gaping open?

I'm not vouching for abundance of threads, just a little more participation in the thread that aren't 'more bad news is good news' and 'everything will be fine'. A little balance maybe?

Dayzero, I concur, your thread back then has been hijacked.
