Ok Angelique,
Now its your turn to listen.
1)Your warning refers to my reaction to the Mc Donalds urban myth which
conveniently ignores the matter at hand: Valeries ascerbic knee-jerk
reaction to my innocent joke with the group.
2)You have leapt to the defense of the antagonizer and handed me the short
end of the stick. It would seem that 10 days reading my posts is enough to
assure you that Valerie's mental state warrants sensitivity and mine does
not.
3)I have already accounted for and separately apologised for my
dysfunctional email client that has caused private posts to be broadcast but
it is clear you have decided that I am a liar. Did you bother to read my
statement to that effect?!
4)One or both of you have deliberately turned this into a crusade. You have
done this despite my genuine efforts to celebrate our differences of opinion
rather than choose sides like you have today.
5)So I am harmless...Are you only capable of friendship with people who are
submissive to you, Angelique?
6)In your overzealous efforts to protect the "hypersensitive" in this group
you have completely overlooked me.
7)I am really not comforted or impressed by your justification for
"chastizing" Christopher. Opposites dont exist for you to beat them into a
sympathetic shape with club footed interventionism! In this way you will
scare more people away rather than promote healthy communication which is a
part of your remit. Besides I am really not sure the group should or could
rely on your policing skills after this since they are anything but
impartial. Needless to say its not very diplomatic nor democratic for vetoes
to go undebated and be invoked unilaterally on the basis of nepotism.
8)Maybe I have got a deficiency in "netiquette" but I would have thought
information as opposed to discrimination would be more constructive. Seems
not...Nope just more transgressions added to your snagging list.
9)Oh puulease! This goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. Do you honestly
think withdrawal of access "privileges" is a good adverstisement for a
non-autocratic electronic community?! I would rather have my tongue cut out
that endure your unsollicited dominatrix whims in the public domain.
Lol...try Robert Cialdini's "principles of persuasion" instead... The only
reason your vetting system works is because it is self fullfilling
censorship and the scapegoats are silenced before they can object! A fate
this message will most likely share.
10)Your asking for trouble by threatening to tarnish my relationship with my
ISP with aspersions like harrassment. Make no mistake, you would be abusing
your status as moderator in using it for character assassination and that
would constitute the legal part of my petition. No I can promise you that
any demonisation of free thinking will remain confined to your list. Dont
take me on Angelique, you may well have met your match and unlike you I do
not need to publicise my skills in sophistry.
You fancy yourself as quite the femme fatale dont you Angelique? Not a
message goes by where you havnt reminded us that you are a master
manipulator, a formidable opponent and not to be fucked with. I will spare
you the pop psychology 101 but if you are secure in yourself what are you
trying to prove with all this muscle flexing? I know you advertise that your
bark is worse than your bite but maybe you should consider retiring the old
alpha-female impressario routine?
When I signed up for this group I didnt realise that I had accepted the
group leader as the captain of my ship. I am my own boss and would urge all
of you to reconsider what self-empowerment is if not that one should
question authority and think for oneself! It is my contention that Angelique
has cleverly turned this kundalini dicussion group into a playground for her
dominatrix role playing. The list owner is perpetrating the most insidious
of double standards by preaching self empowerment and free will on the one
hand and submission on the other. This is just another trite example of "you
are free to do what you are told"! And what happens when you dont aggree
with the majority opinion of the listowner? One is castigated as suffering
from resistance or rebuked as having a troubled ego. This is exactly how
establishment psychiatrists treat their patients when they dare to disagree.
They are told they are misbehaving because they are ill. The illness here is
not disagreement; it is the psychological hegemony of one over another.
With respect to my innocent "Fiona paradox" posting which aroused all this
discord in the first place, the obediant subscribers approach to resolving
this would go something like this: Q. "Valerie Would you aggree that now you
know what my intention was for my original posting that you may have
misinterpreted it? I would have to say YES if YOU put the same question to
me about your response to it" More safe, risk-free experience and no
disagreement. Well then, we have really moved on havn't we?
Finally since this will be my last post I would ask you all to consider
whether replacing a patriarchal system with a matriarchal one to be
progress! It would seem that some of us havnt learned anything from the male
domination of the last few thousand years and are in a big hurry to simply
put the boot on the other foot. Some are even determined to go further and
insist that not only a matriarchy be instated but we should also
respectfully worship mortal women (something even the tiny brained male
dominated systems dont evem advocate of themselves!) We need good teachers
of self mastery and self reliance but we do not need leaders lest we swap
one dictatorship for another. Dont trust experts or me for that matter:
think for yourself! I exhort all to stop relying on outside-in and trust
inside-out. Confidence means "with faith" self-confidence means "with faith
in onself". Remember the mouse teaches the kitten how to catch mice NOT the
mother. Before I end up another casuality on the scrap heap of
discredibility I would should like to prepare you for the insinuations to
come about my mental or spiritual stability in the tradition of opposition
being a symptom of illness. I would also like to apologise for walking out
on those that have been so warm and compassionate, they know who they are
and will have my email address. I am sorry to make my exit like this but I
decline to be victimized by members of the "girls club" in the name of the
Goddess.
I refuse to give you the satisfaction of orchestrating an undignified exit
and instruct you to remove me from the list at once.
From the heart and the head
Simon
