Hello garyrrenard@y...,
In reference to your comment:
¨¨ Hi Ossie. That other Gene and Stephen are regular
¨¨ posters at another message board called trcm on
¨¨ Google, which has been referred to by some (not me)
¨¨ as "The Newsgroup From Hell." (I think they're proud of
¨¨ that name.) Gene actually has kind of a bet going
¨¨ there about how long it will take him to get kicked out
¨¨ of the yahoo Disappearance club.
I am aware of folks like them ...
And folks like YOU who see them as "folks like them".
Include me, I come from the newsgroup from hell. Which I feel is,
in a way a kind of online family. Not that I always agree and get
along with the others.
Gary, out of nowhere, emailed me and offered to send me his book.
Patrick emailed me about sending it, and sent me several other
emails (over days) keeping me up to date on the actual statistics of
books bought (and more bought) by Endeaver Academy.
LIke I might not have believed him, or that the book is not
a "success" (at least with Endeaver Academy)
Seems like the link to this egroup was in one of those emails, but
Jeanette also posted it ON the newsgroup from hell.
If you didn't want "folks like us" here, why go through all that to
make sure some of us didn't show up here?
and it is because of folks like them that
groups that may have been free flowing have had to be moderated and
closely
observed and restrictions set up.
I really hope this group ends up needing to be moderated and
restricted because of "folks like me".
I spend way too much time online and should be doing something
more productive and positive.
This list was going so well, I could not
believe it ... I wondering when they would show up .... but I
said "nah" don't go
looking for the negative ... but as you can see, the ego is very
predictable.
But this is part of the ego. It will go out and seek to
destroy ... anything
that threatens its destruction.
yes, the ego is very predictable, and it will also sit there
LOOKING for something it can see as evil and negative and "folks like
us" who are out to get it.
Doesn't the course say that only one ego can see error and try to
correct it in someone else?
And your brother is just as right as you are, even if your ego is
seeing him as insane?
The ego does tend to cause trouble.
But, if it is, it is never SOMEONE ELSE.
Especially someone who judges "folks like you" without even
seeing the newsgroup (and most newsgroups are unmoderated and free,
that's why a lot of people like them) and deciding for yourself.
Since you have already decided what it is, that would be what
you'd see.
