Re: Goodbye Avolon
It is censorship, it is ruled more stringently than alternative lifestyles sites that at least have peer reporting for abuse. Its ridiculous. Its sad. Its dead. Lifeless. There should be more catagories and a limit of posts per thread. Peoples enthusiam went wild but naturally would have tapered off. Now I feel certain it has diminished altogether.
I loved it, spent many many hours here chasing peoples thoughts, links, arguments, discussions. I was in heaven. Oh my gosh, I thought I knew many alt sites and theories and was so wrong! My staple sites and ideas didn’t even scratch the surface!!! I learn far more from my mistakes than I ever did from a success. Now no one can make a mistake, ITS NOT ALLOWED!!
And do forgive me if im wrong, but how many people go a day without a cuss word in their life? I didn’t think I was signing up for the moral majority, I thought this was going to be a place to tell each other the truth as each individual saw fit. We were bound to argue. Some were destined to clash, as many here are strong personalities but we are adults. Adults do not need such strict moderation. Just add a report for abuse clicky and let the moderators decide on a course of action if a certain number is reached. The way it is now is like kindergarten recess being taken away. Stupid. Not conducive to free flowing thought and ideas.
Some people seem negative in their responses downright hostile sometimes, but if you close your eyes and focus on the individual behind the words you can usually see a different story. Some seem angelic but the opposite can be and often is the case. Try this sometime when you are reading what feels like a hostile or mean persons post or an angelic one for that mater. See what you envision about the soul or life essence behind the words. I know you will be surprised.
Bill and Kerry,
This place was once a verdant green haven, welcome to diversity as all of us are. Now it feels a desolate dry desert, devoid of the life and vibrancy with which it once had. Is this what you wanted?
