Let's see, how is the eternal newsgroup conflict shaping up now? For
now ol' george seems to be at the center of conflict. He repeats his
"truth" over and over and over and over and is met by the usual
disagreement from others who try really really really really hard to
straighten him out...but, alas, to no avail.

(One has to wonder what the next conflict will be when posters tire of
correcting the eternally-uncorrectable george.)

Hey, conflict is conflict. And the newsgroup post count continues to
grow...


lol

lol I'm not in conflict nor have I tried to straighten anyone out.
Others might not like my ideas but since I only talk about myself a
question I would ask is why since I'm not telling anyone else they are
wrong or how to live their lives.

I think you are the only one looking for and seeing conflict.

Oh i KNOW i KNOW! lol

Unfortunately, at the bottom line disagreement IS conflict. The
"newest" regular's disagreement with ol' george's "knowledge of all"
IS conflict. And that conflict is increaing the message count.

Hey, i didnt say conflict was bad. I'm just keeping it..."real."

It isn't conflict to me. Just because I believe something doesn't mean
I ask anyone else to do the same nor do I choose to disagree with
others choices or paths. If I'm not telling anyone else how to live or
what to think, how can that be conflict as I'm only talking about
myself, my thoughts and my actions? Conflict is only in the mind of
the thinker that wants it.

You disagree with me. Therefore, by the strict definition of the word
"conflict" you are in conflict with me. Further, you're in denial of
the conflict by your "spiritual pronouncement" that..."conflict is not
real". If this were the truth--your truth--you simply wouldnt be
interested in correcting me. Therefore, "conflict is not real" is
simply your intellectualized "spiritual" concept. Your spiritual
philosophy. Conflict IS real to you even when you pontificate acim
philosophy in a reply to me the nature of which is disagreement.

It is this kind of thing that has always driven the newsgroup. Someone
posts his or her take on a course concept, someone replies,
disagreeing with the person's take, and conflict is up and running
again. And only the intensity of the conflict varies with
each...debate, I'll call it.

This said, contrast it with the following: A person posts his or her
thought on a course concept and another replies saying, "I agree
100%". Where does the...discussion...go from there? The answer:
nowhere. The original poster might agree with the second poster's
agreement to the tune of a quick three or four post discussion, but
then the discussion dies out--even before it got off the ground.

What would make the discussion a discussion is if a thrid person were
to chime in saying, "I disagree." Conflict has ramped itself up again
and a discussion ensues.

Conflict is therefore at the heart of this newsgroup. The newsgroup
thrives on conflict.

Would you are to disagree with me?

It doesn't really matter if I agree with you or not. Conflict is not
true.

You have more than enough opposing thoughts in your head to to keep
the idea of conflict real for yourself.
But if you want to try and include my in that confusion I'll have to
agree/disagree with you.

When is happy (slave) going to get it that he/she cant read minds?
Answer: probably never.

personality?

Very telling, Slave. You suggest *I* cant read personality. Yet you
see to be claiming you can read MY personality. Wow. You must have a
great power that I dont possess myself.

I've read some (not much) of your fluff before. Here's my suggestion:
Get yourself a nice. long, flowing holy robe, then climb a tall
mountain (with a stormy lightning-filled sky as a backdrop, of
course), and have someone take the picture of a "great holy man."

How'm I doin'?

I believe this is HappyDreamin. Unless it's HappySlave pretending to be
Happy Dreamin.

Not sure.
I think one time he was going to sue someone for using his artist wife's
angel painting without permission, and his (and her) personal information
was posted.
He doesn't seem like the same Happydreamin from years ago. Who seemed
more peaceful, and well... happy.
Anyone can put any email address they want on their profile info. It
doesn't have to be real and can even be someone else's. Except maybe on
google groups.
