I didn't hear only half the story.. Valerie forwarded me your private
post to her, even before you forwarded her private mail to the list. She
sent me her private reply to you, too.. 2 words: "Back off".. which you
promptly forwarded to the list, with your response.
No means NO, Simon..it is good manners to respect that. Did you know
that sending email to people who have asked you to stop writing to them, is
illegal, harassment? Did you know posting private mail to the list is
contrary to the list guidelines? Did you even read the list guidelines?
As List Mystress, I encourage people to send me private posts, if they
are feeling harassed by private mail off the list. In this way I have
discovered and dealt with a number of people who would not dare to harass
me, but who liked to prey on the vulnerable in private mail.

I think "Back off" and "Do not post private mail to the list", is
very clear communication. At this point, I do not think the problem is with
V's over-sensitivity, the problem is your insensitivity.
I know you are basically a harmless guy, Simon, and I like you.. you
know that from our private correspondence.
But I think you need to be aware that Valerie is not the only
unusually empathic hypersensitive person on this list.. There are so many
that we used to have a separate, edited digest version of this list with
all ooga booga fear mongering stuff and flame wars deleted, just for them.
It ended because a) the flame war quotient went down.. and b) the
editors declining health prevented him from continuing with it.
Kundalini is not an easy trip.. it is probably the hardest journey a
human can be faced with, and all by itself it pushes all the buttons and
challenges ideas of what is "sane". Even regular awakened folks who are not
"clinical" like V., may go through hypersensitive periods where the energy
itself is almost more than their minds can cope with, let alone having some
righteous idiot pushing their buttons and spewing judgments out of some
wayward "good intention".
Let alone feeling unsafe to share with other members, even off list
for fear of having private mail "outed" on the list.
In fact, I know that some sensitive members have ended up in the
emergency ward requiring sedation, on occasion as a result of critical or
fear-mongering list content. We have people whose Kundalini experiences
landed them in the mental hospital, members who have their hands full
trying to cope with wayward empathy, flooded with emotions and thoughts
that are not their own, full body kriyas and terrifying visions.
There are many list members for whom this cyberspace is the only place
where they feel safe, understood, accepted, weird experiences and all. It
is a sanctuary, and I am the dragon guarding the gates..-- a much milder
dragon that I used to be-- but no less concerned with maintaining safe space.
That was also part of my motive in smacking Christ-opher upside the
head for his fear-mongering manipulative behavior and projections. We just
don't need that kind of stuff in this space. Awakened people have quite
enough to deal with, already. I was patient with it till some folks who
were quite flipped out by it, started writing to me off list for
reassurance and to be calmed down.
I'm not the only guardian dragon, either.. the list has several
co-moderators, and other folks who step in when armageddon types like
anakanabanana show up and start spewing judgments, to gently ride them out
of town on a rail..
>P.S. My trigger finger is poised to snip!
Well, you did not snip this post, and you also have posted private
mail to the list... again today, after I asked you not to, before. This
can be no accident, as you would have had to deliberately paste in the list
address. This makes 3 warnings, Simon... and you have only been on the list
for 10 days.
The list guidelines are not accidental, or one person's autocratic whim.
They were created by the consensus of the original list members, for the
good of the community as a whole, and they have stood the test of time over
5 years of list history. If you are not respecting the guidelines, then you
are not respecting the community.. so you lose the *privilege* of posting
freely to this space.
You are now on moderated status. Your posts to the list will have to pass
moderators approval.. and I suggest you not write to V. again, or we will
both complain to your provider and you will probably lose your account.
