I think the vote would go against you on this point, mac. 

I think it is obvious to everyone that the comment you made is totally incorrect. 

1. You are not even on the first page by registration date. I, on the other hand, am the fourth one after Violet. I was a founding member of her first forum also. 

2. I have almost 2691 posts....and you have?????......1843...almost 1000 less than I do...and many of your posts could be listed in the troll category. Just because you make a post does not make it worthy of reading...or even desirable.

3. Many, if not most, of the members here would place you in the troll category. When you made that post about trolls, I could not believe how closely it described you.

1. You are not even on the first page by registration date. I, on the other hand, am the fourth one after Violet. I was a founding member of her first forum also.   I did say (tongue-in-cheek) the longest-attending troll - did you miss that?

2. I have almost 2691 posts....and you have?????......1843...almost 1000 less than I do...and many of your posts could be listed in the troll category. Just because you make a post does not make it worthy of reading...or even desirable. ouch! That stings!

3. Many, if not most, of the members here would place you in the troll category. conjecture unless you've done the math....When you made that post about trolls, I could not believe how closely it described you.  ouch again -I'm so hurt you should say such a thing!

No offense, but you dont seem to really take my opinions or suggestions on board, you dont reply to my messages and when I highlight site issues I dont get a response eithers. Doesnt help when the forum keeps playing up with me.

I only try and help.

I mean all of those members who used to frequent this site.   Where have they gone?   Such as Gilly and 1antique?    Many more as well,seem to have disappeared.

Mostly over the years but our membership list seems to have diminished.
 Please come back to Violet's site and POST......
We miss you.....

I came here to learn about different aspects of spirituality and to continue to grow. For the most part, this site has quit being a place that provides this.  Personally, I feel that this is one of the major reasons why many of the 'old-timers' have left.

This site is not Facebook, nor is it twitter. Why don't we try to turn this place back into a spiritual site once more?

What would be nice is if you would put that quick-witted mind to good use and actually post something useful to the members of this site instead of using it to degrade and demean others. 

In days of old, the senior (as in older) members of any group used their wisdom for the good of the group....not to bring it down. Those who failed to do so were ostracized from the group and left to fend for themselves.

Violet wrote:Hmmm......... interesting, guys please keep talking, unlike the earlier days of this forum I can't devote anywhere near as much time as I used to, I can't get in every day and I can't post a mass of new topics daily, but that said this is YOUR forum too, got questions to ask, ask them, something weird or spooky happening, post it let's see if we can help in any way. WAnt to learn about something?  It doesn't matter if you feel it's 'going over old ground' things change, new people here bring new opinions and ideas, WE change our ideas and opinions and grow whether we post or not. Often I see posts replied to by simply posting a link, i've done it myself occasionally but that's not discussion or what a forum is about, I know of forums where almost EVERY thread is just an exchange of links, i'd hate for this place to become like that you might as well just browse google for a couple of hours.

As for serious topics we're currently in the holidays all members should be able to enjoy a bit of larking around, but i'm currently working on new stuff for next year for here.

As for old time members 'appearing to leave' well I can't comment on that or individuals, people must come and go as they choose which is why I don't delete accounts or ban anyone except as a very last resort, but what I will say is nothing is all black or all white.

I saw something said about people have ten enemies at anyone time in life and triple that online, all I can say is please don't confuse differences of opinion with dislike

As say please keep talking and don't take any offense to my thoughts

No offense, but you dont seem to really take my opinions or suggestions on board, you dont reply to my messages and when I highlight site issues I dont get a response eithers. Doesnt help when the forum keeps playing up with me.

You have a funny way of trying to help

Hi Eyeopen, I apologise, you are not the only one whose messages get missed, i'm not online anywhere near as often as I was and while this is no excuse some things do occasionally get missed, it's a lot for one person to keep up with alone, and I apologise to any others who feel this way too, as for site suggestions I do hear so many of these it would be impossible to implement them all, I'm sure I had plans to put up a suggestion thread perhaps now would be a good time to do it this way suggestions can be dealt with openly, what do you think?

As for the forum playing up are you using a phone ?  It could be the snow i've got on here which will be removed very soon let me know if you're still having problems after that.

Its not bout leaving, like you said this is more like socialising and banter now, which is good for past times, but not for learning.

I need to move forward and need to find those on my level of thinking.

Thats said im not really visiting many forums, just generally busy etc

I agree with eyeopen.... seems to be that some like nothing more than a good stir up on here which is spoling the forums   - it is hard sometimes to actually know how a comment is based or said by another person - hence why we have the thread emotions to try to explain our writings..
what happened to common courtesy and respect   for fellow posters - we can't all be, or "think"   we know it all about  on Spiritulism/spiritulism(whatever way you want to type it) it is just nice to have a good conversation about a topic that interests us all..
