Injustice and destruction ( Archived) (132)

This doesn't deserve a response.

I tried to message you privately so this wouldn't be a public thing, but your mail preferences are in place.
yours
Late last night, early morning, the forums were flooded with over 40 threads by an individual/individuals, thus burying everyone else's threads.

I took the opportunity to "bump" lighter threads (such as yours), to the top and posters began contributing on the variety of threads again.

The forums I bumped do not disappear and any individual who has an interest in those subjects could choose to continue posting on them.
I was introducing variety to the forums, the other individual was spamming the forums.

KB, welcome back, sorry about the mistake. My only concern is remember, RELIGION AND WHO WE ARE? I think it was deleted because of some off track posts on the 36th page.

I am so saddened because I know it was sabotaged. But the truth is, bit unfurled with a civil and diplomatic presentation on understanding the core of our global rift to come up with some solutions.

Then poof. That wasn't nice, MHO.

thanks KB.

I'm sorry that you had a thread removed. I most times stay clear of the religious threads due to the direction I know they usually take. Religion is one of the most heated topics in these forums and people do get removed, posts deleted, and threads removed when the Mods feel site rules have been broken.

I believe we have reached a point where the optimum capacity of being bad is way much easier than extending our hand to others. Much like we have become our own prisoner in our own way. Very individualistic and independent. Even to our own immediate family, it seems we no longer socialize or for that matter only remember them when we need them?

But culturally as you addressed, I know for a fact that people with their own limitations tend to be more generous in general. At least with my experience and exposure to my Filipino tradition and values. WE share everything kind of thing? It might be our last food from our granary but we don't hesitate to loan it to someone who has less than me.

Question: Does poverty make people glued together? I don't know. Although this doesn't mean a blanket statement, when I migrated here 35 years ago, how different then from now. But there it is, things change and sometimes not always for the better.

Thanks Lolette.

I can see the sensitivity of this issue on almost everyone KB and that is the reason why I started it as non presumptuous . Just facts. I tried to steer it towards truly understanding the bottom of the pit to dig the root. A lot of so many people contributed how they feel and how it should be without being callous and unkind. Without being so brazen and judgmental. But no matter how we look at it, blame is an inherent result as to those heinous criminal acts associated with it.

It went up to 33 page with about 9,000 hit. Then bam.

But why do they even allow religion to be on here? Just to preach?

KB I befriended you and that is the only way we can mail in private.

I already submitted my friendship request.

Hey. Now stop beating your head against the wall. That'll leave a nasty bruise.

One thing that you can be sure of, we have no control over what others' say or do. None.

Taking also into consideration the mass differences in cultures, beliefs, backgrounds, personalities, language nuances....people will simply not react or behave as we think they should. Ever.

Best to keep a sense of humor, remind ourselves that we really don't have any control over our own threads, and simply allow the ebb and flow of where the topics and conversations will go.

And if things become too frustrating, turn off the computer and go for a walk or take a break. You can be sure that when you return, you will still have no control over what anyone on here says or does because everyone is a unique individual with their own unique personality. Embrace that or....as I do...I steer clear of a few people.

Thanks KB, well noted. A true good word of wisdom..

Not in control no matter how we try. Sabotage, I feel is one tool that can literally collapse such a good intention. Well like you said.. I appreciate..
