Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Doc, if Janice had any knowledge of BLACK BOXES and PROPULSION SYSTEMS, she was keeping it to herself. Too bad because a discussion of how these relate to her comments could be helpful to her and interesting as well. She did make some thought provoking though bitter observations. She certainly jumped to opinionated conclusions. It's unfortunate that she couldn't leave it at that without the venom and personal attacks on you and Lillie. With her need to strike out I'm not sure she could " have commented the EXACT SAME THINGS but been within the boundaries of politeness and respect towards Lillie, and towards this group? " You did give her a road map in your reply. You showed her where she took a wrong turn and how to get back on track. All she had to do is make the effort. Was that the test? >If you disagree with Lillie, please give reasons and specifics.

It is strange, but another lady from back East was offended I posted Janice's post, and she thought Janice was correct. Am I missing something, being a male?

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 doc said: It is strange, but another lady from back East was offended I posted Janice's post, and she thought Janice was correct.Am I missing something, being a male? absolutely not!!! if we want to talk about " hate " , i just hate this attitude of blaming men (or blacks, or whites, or republicans) for one's complete inability to be happy and fulfilled. man if that isn't a dead end street, i don't know what is! because people with attitudes like that are completely unwilling to take any responsibility for their own experiences, they can only see whatever confirms their own twisted perceptions (is this a " propulsion system " ?). they are basically beyond help, as long as they hold that attitude, because it's always somebody else's fault. doc i noticed you offered her the opportunity to talk about " her version of loser's limp " and although she did not respond to that per se, she did sail right into all that very presumptuously negative stuff about how " a woman can't get ahead without getting fucked " --- is that what you mean about testing her, and failing? because it would have been very easy for her to frame that statement differently, and still be on this list. - lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have not read Lillie's post but I have read the posts from this thread. With all due respect, I honestly don't see what tips this lady's remark from " unfortunate snipe " to " personal attack. " I can see your point of view, but in my opinion your reply to her was much more hostile than anything she said beforehand (eg. use of capital letters to emphasize certain words, demanding proof of that which cannot be held objectively--how do you prove an opinion?). It also seems to me that she was not refering to the list in a negative manner but rather her inability to add anything meaningful to a group that did not agree with her attitude. This is not really an insult to the group...but it surely does speak volumes about her. The wording of her reply to you was inappropriate, but sparked by what could be seen as the overreaction to her post. I also don't see anywhere in her posts where she refers to others by pejorative nic-names (doesnt matter what they are, what matters is the true opinion of the person who penned them... " sweetypie " is just another word for " f*ck you " in this case) This is a public forum (at least insofar as people remain on your good side it seems) and Lillie is a big girl. She posted here knowing that it opened her up to a variety of remarks from a variety of people; some of whome might not agree with her. Better to have met this lady with compassion than to have thrown a vague " test " at her and then belittle her for not responding. Not everyone will pick up on the idea that an aggressive email is really an all-important test in disguise. I never learned the art of communicating in a concise manner (obviously ), but to sum up, I think you over-reacted. *braces for firestorm* , " kahunamaker " <kahunamaker wrote: > > Hi Group, > > I just BANNED this huggy feely lady, Janice (a fake name) from the UK...know why? > > Lately the topic has come up on when I ban, and why I ban. > The following is an actual example of a 3 post sequence of me talking with " sweety pie " and then banning that sweet lady from the UK, from any of my lists. > > Did anyone notice Lillie's brillant post yesterday (mindmastery-essentialskills), or was it today? > > Well, this is Janice McFee's public reply, a personal attack, to Lillie's post. > > I found it amusing and inappropiate. > > Amusing, NOT because it's funny but because of how painful her life must be BECAUSE OF HER OWN ATTITUDES! > > INAPPROPIATE because this group has a different energy than hate. > > My private post to Janice is post #2.

Because I always test a person for what they want, and then I test for them doing what is necessary to acquire the skills they need to get to where they want to go. She failed the test. Did you notice where I tested her, and how she failed the test? Look again. It's in the above. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 since when is the use of CAPITAL letters, ipso facto " hostile " ? i thought doc was very clear, and what he did was reasonable and the right thing to do. he identified (1) the problems with janice's reply which was nothing more than a personal attack via sarcasm, and (2) he also identified what janice could do to clarify what she meant by her original personal attack via sarcasm. janice didn't even get banned at that point. she only got banned after her reply to doc which was even more vicious and sarcastic, WITHOUT clarification or justification. so, you think doc's response was unjustified and he should keep somebody spouting total crap like that on this list?!?!? would that be COMPASSION, or SYMPATHY, or something? also doc didn't show any hostility, but janice was oozing it from every seam.

She can't back up her own statements with actual facts so she gets lazy and generalizes with cheap, outdated stereotypes about women. Was this a joke? Or did she just wake up from a 40 year sleep? My grandmother was more progressive thinking than that. There's no way you can get to the level I'm currently at and earn what I earn at the company I work for without brains, integrity and work. They find out really quickly if you don't know what the hell you're doing, and you won't last long. Having the right attitude is also a plus. Janice attacks not once but three times in a row and made baseless, undermining attacks on someone, and then got banned from the groups. I'm wondering what the probability is that that attitude shows up in her jobs and other relationships. She could have explained the basis behind her accusations, but she doesn't have any, other than she wants to be bitter and blame for reasons that she can't explain, and anyone who just happens to be passing by, like Lilly or you or this group, she feels needs to pay. Comments like Janice's are cheap and self-destructive, and that's her problem. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hello Lyn! Thank you for your reply. To clear up a few points: *** " since when is the use of CAPITAL letters, ipso facto " hostile " ? What I said was that in my experience the use of capital letters conveys anger and yelling. Perhaps it is not so in your online interactions, which is fine. I also said that *I thought* his response was a bit strong. I was not impressing my perception on anyone else. Forgive me, but it seems to me that you are attempting to do just that as evidenced by your statement: **** " > so, you think doc's response was unjustified and he should keep somebody..... I never said anything of the sort. Obviously you disagree with me and question the appropriateness of my reply; but your method of illustrating this is to interpret my words to suit your own anger. *****> spouting total crap like that on this list?!?!? > " And " crap " is in the eye of the beholder--so to speak. I'm sure she had some justification in her past for how she felt which makes her view true for her--in her world, women use sex for advancement. Even I believe that this is done. Who has the right to judge the opinions of another? ***** would that be COMPASSION, or > SYMPATHY, or something?******* No. The definition of " Compassion " contains the element of wanting to alleviate the suffering. Compassion (I did not use the word " sympathy " )is acknowledging her experience and perhaps incorporating it into another discussion. How could one link the Huna philosophy to her ideas and what lessons could be learned by it? ***> i thought doc was *very* clear, and what he did was reasonable and the right I believe that you are overlooking the points on which we agree. Indeed I agreed with many things that William said. Doc had every right to confront this woman, Im not saying he didnt; and yet the responses I keep getting are consistant with the idea that because I had a criticism, and--even worse--actually said something about it-- that I believe in " allowing " this woman to continue posting. I assure you this was not what I meant, nor had I in fact even taken the thought to that point at all. **** she only > got banned after her reply to doc which was even more vicious and sarcastic, > WITHOUT clarification or justification. I also agree that the language of her retort was inappropriate; but if Doc wrote a response that *I* felt was over-reacting then I could very well understand why she might agree and follow suit in sending back such an email. > also doc didn't show any hostility, but janice was oozing it from every > seam.....clarify what she meant by her original personal > attack via sarcasm. >**** Perhaps what I consider hostile doesnt mesh with your opinion, and maybe my tolerance for sarcasm is higher than most. What does it really matter that *one* post contained sarcasm? Does it keep the sun from rising? Did someone die? If making a statement with sarcasm is considered a " personal attack " then my friends attack me every day. If I berated them for every instance something they said pissed me off, very soon I would have no friends at all. Parody is also a method of attack--so is editorial, Spoof, Lampoon and caricature. Should we now filter posts for those? (sorry, perhaps that was a tad sarcastic) I understand if the general population does not agree with me, I dont expect them to; but please do not put words into my mouth, ascribe to me beliefs I do not have or assume there are motivations where there are none. Although you would disagree I'm sure--I feel that the nature of the responses I have gotten from my post have been much more of the nature of " personal attack " than anything I have written. Forgive me if I have offended you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree... I can see that her comment is definitely not in a positive manner. So waht is it? A questioning manner as you present? When in a public forum and your say something like " If I should suggest that having a husband helps, or a man, suppose I will not be seen as having much to offer on this list. " The underlying message sent is that someone has to have a huband in order to contribute to her list. If Janice is mixing the ideas up in her head...and she says such things then YEAH it is an attack. And by the way...when doc mentioned propulsion systems... That just got sirens running n my head. I mean...if this lady really used that to get her where she wants to go...then she would be moving up instead of ..... On a side note, this thread helps me understand and even put a conscious effort to using various events in my life as propulsions systems. I had the idea once that...welll in order for me to succeed it has to be nice and prim and proper and all the Ts crossed and I's dotted. Coloring between the lines ETC ETC. Meaning really huggy feely....not having anger or rage or hate or whichever. But now I have come to realize and accept those emotions as something that I can just use. ....if I am pissed off at let's say losing a match ....then I can use that event/emotion to get push myself to get better. I used to have a ambiguity towards this as most of the stuf I have been hearing has been " " Oh you should do things because you love it...and OH doing things out of HATE is just a draining experience. Frankly once I realized that these are just emotions and if I am OK with them...I cn use them. Since them...there have been sessions of emotional stimualtion(hating certain events) ....as a result I am more active in my martial arts ....as a result I am more acitve in taking care of health ....I am more conscious of my emotions ....I am reading more about frames of MInd from the books I learned from DOC on this group ....and I am just MORE ME...than anyone else. AND I am OK. Thank GOD for these propulsion systems. And if Janice...was to use this experience of being kicked out as a propulsion system ...then she may actually get something else that she wants...instead of getting ****. Funny how these walls are written with these stuf. ON COMPASSION: To say that a person should have been approached with compassion after the fact that they have been treated " more hostile " is like saying hindsite is 20/20. But the perfectness of things is the fact that she was treated in a " hostile " manner as you mentioned. IMO it happened cause she created it herself. Just like she is creating the work environment that she currently has. Once she figures that out and actually does something about it...then it all remains the same. > This is not really an insult to the group...but it surely does speak volumes about her. I think it is an attack on the group...underhanded I do say. And yes it is and attack IMO and it does speak volumes about her. > The wording of her reply to you was inappropriate, but sparked by what could be seen as > the overreaction to her post. > I also don't see anywhere in her posts where she refers to others by pejorative nic-names > (doesnt matter what they are, what matters is the true opinion of the person who penned > them... " sweetypie " is just another word for " f*ck you " in this case) Hmmm...intersting perspective. I wonder the processing for it. > > This is a public forum (at least insofar as people remain on your good side it seems) and RULES STRUCTURE...oops rules structure > Lillie is a big girl.

Fine...some people call it that. Some people call it creating your own world. I 'll tell you a story at my work. For years, I have been the busy bee worker doing this and that exceling in this and that getting awards this and that....but as I pursued management it was really challenging. I saw myself complaining of htis and that and so on. Until I started framing...and getting a higher frame of the events and correlating them to how I have been dealing with things. I realize that in the world of my manager she wants certain types of people around her....whether it is a personality...or a reliabitly or just plain favoritism.... SO I asked myself if this is what I WANT...not really. I WANT a boss who I could consider as my mentor. So....my mindset has changed at work. I am presenting things to my current boss in a manner that fits into her VAKOG and within her belief system. In my bringing thing to fruition, I am working on having a personality that would attract the boss that I want. I cant believe I WNAT A BOSS!!! That is hilarious. I will have to reframe that and look for something that turns my CRANK MORE. In any case...great thread. Opened up propulsion systems. Also this whole writing and being digital really wakens you up on what the heck is in your mind. " run your own brain " JIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
