Flaming, Negativity, and Destructive Behavior

December 21, 2002

Dear Lynne,

Well, I do understand, and you'll find that negative, petty attitudes are not tolerated on this list. Flamers and "Neggies" do not last long on Herbal Remedies.

Our list policies are very specific, and if you haven't read them yet, I strongly suggest you do so. As long as you stay within the perameters of these policies, you can argue, disagree, and be as creatively different as you like ) On a personal level, I love a good rip-roaring debate, as long as it stays out of the "Flame" category, and it is argued intelligently.

Many times people confuse "freedom of speech", "the right to have their own ideas", and "the right to disagree", with "the right to put others down" or "the right to be suppressively destructive", and while I may acknowledge that such people exist, I do not agree that these individuals have any rights whatsoever in dramatizing their destructive behavior on the rest of society.

Sooooooooo, I hope this clarifies it for you.

And, welcome to the list. ;o)

Love,

Doc

Re: [herbal remedies] OT: was Bonsai

Hi

due to following reasons why I "mentioned" the way I did

1 off topic, meaning nothing to do with herbal remedies

2been "flamed/toasted" too many other times for either speaking up or telling the trtuth on something.

3. hatefulness of some rather petty, nasty childish folks on some other lists I am also on.

Learned to don flame retardent suit because of it.

So just expect every time I "speak" on any list that I will either be burned in some way because I follow a different path than the norm which I have learned is that if one doesn't follow the same path a s the rest of society, society will not tolerate. Sad to say, it is from personal experience, walking a differnet path and being loabled as "crazxier than a bed bug" . Hope you can understand this and I usually tell folks "Paranoia based on personal experience with society". Again, all due to being on a different path and labled as excentric.
