Subject: RE: BS: Who are the editors here?
From: Megan L
Date: 17 Apr 13 - 03:30 AM

Sadly Ollaimh your may have genuine things to say but like many who are here now your vicious nastiness stops people from listening.

There are times I could willingly pit Gnu ower ma knees and skelp him for bein glaikit but I know him to be one of the finest people on this site, a genuinely caring loving friend does not judge people by race creed or colour. My fault that I do not get to talk to him as often as I once did but I will not stand back and see someone who quite obviously does not know anything about him.


I would remind you of the words of my National poet Robert Burns

"O ye wha are sae guid yoursel',
Sae pious and sae holy,
Ye've nought to do but mark and tell
Your neibours' fauts and folly!
Whase life is like a weel-gaun mill,
Supplied wi' store o' water;
The heaped happer's ebbing still,
An' still the clap plays clatter.

Hear me, ye venerable core,
As counsel for poor mortals
That frequent pass douce Wisdom's door
For glaikit Folly's portals:
I, for their thoughtless, careless sakes,
Would here propone defences-
Their donsie tricks, their black mistakes,
Their failings and mischances.

Ye see your state wi' theirs compared,
And shudder at the niffer;
But cast a moment's fair regard,
What maks the mighty differ;
Discount what scant occasion gave,
That purity ye pride in;
And (what's aft mair than a' the lave),
Your better art o' hidin.

Think, when your castigated pulse
Gies now and then a wallop!
What ragings must his veins convulse,
That still eternal gallop!
Wi' wind and tide fair i' your tail,
Right on ye scud your sea-way;
But in the teeth o' baith to sail,
It maks a unco lee-way. "

The poem ends with this good advice

"
Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Tho' they may gang a kennin wrang,
To step aside is human:
One point must still be greatly dark, -
The moving Why they do it;
And just as lamely can ye mark,
How far perhaps they rue it."

Ollaimh, what is "Anglo" folk? Do you mean English folk? If so, describing it as "instrumentally challenged and talent free old guys who sing in church basements and sagely tell them selves that those ethnic musicians who get paid aren't 'real' folk" is utter nonsense, as a quick look at what is happening on the English folk scene will tell you. And over here English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh singers and musicians will happily play together. Perhaps this tribal animosity is a North American habit?

You think gnu has the power to start another exile of the French?

I think he should try it, just to see if he can.

the real musicians need their policing and leadership eh?

the folk "leader are parasites who luckily are more and more marginalized and irrelevant every day. they used to hold court and power at folk fests and clubs but they are so boring even their friends can rarely stand to listen to them.

But, I reject your claims of the present, as I have in the past. I am far more tolerant of others than you. I am a not a racist... you are. You and your ilk are the problem in Canada's only officially bilingual province. The likes of you spread hatred and divisiveness for the sake of your own gain in stirring up shit where there is none to begin with. You should be ashamed of yourself.

YOU are the threat. And it makes me sad and angry.

BTW... that shit really pisses off my French relatives (mother, aunts, uncles). They have to deal with with the likes of you spewing your garbage... it embarrasses them.

And your posts piss me off to no end.

many of you may find gnus out bursts charming, but I liv in new Brunswick where his particular form of redneck intolerance is a constant threat to over throw our very very hard won social peace between the French and English. out province is almost half and half and our city the same. there were decades when the French were without the most basic social services that English could take for granted and decades n=before that when vigilante mobs took over acadien villages to impose "justice" in several famous cases.

after much travaille now we have relative social peace. however it is constantly threatened by people like gnu who are prepared to let their anger be their belief rather than compassion or reason.

furthermore, even more decades ago the French were ethnically cleansed by americans and british violent racists. but then americans never apologize for a little genocide or ethnic cleansing. can you say Guatemala?

Joe, My apostrophe went and sought legal counsel...pointing out the he was merely replacing an "i", therefore not an 'Illegal alien', He's claiming that he was not trying to show that the 'hat' did not posses him.....Rather, that "Hat's off" could also be written "Hat IS off"...so the case is on 'appeal'.

Going to comment a bit better on a couple of other posts...thought of some good shit to point out some differences...as in, though the general area of the brain lights up more, it doesn't not necessarily mean that the 'paths' traveled by them was the same....though, their could be similarities is 'euphoric' sensations....but they would all be distinctly different....and there are.....as in the difference between peyote experience, and an orgasm, as opposed to that which you get while meditating...or music...ALL light up that area, but ALL are distinct from each other.
Unless you've experienced them in a way that you actually have those different 'feelings', then the thought of them all being the same, is just a wrong 'idea'....and all it is is just an idea.....arrived at using less amount of brain at that!...Nope, not the same!

For what it's worth...but respectfully,

"If I wanted to subtly request an edit to a post title, who would I contact?"

I wanted to know who to ask to change a thread with an obvious error in the title.

You brought up Gnu's thread and seemed to assume that I would want it changed.

That was the innocent error assuming that it was the the "spiritualism" thread

In actual fact I did not have that thread in mind and I said so.

"the title of the "spiritualism" thread. That would be Gnus's call.


I was pretty agnostic about whether it should be spiritualism. I did not know what Gnu could possibly mean with either word.
So I said this trying to excuse you and the others for that conclusion and trying to say I don't think any harm was done by the thread title.

I said

"The error was point out pretty early and politely I thought. It didn't hurt the conversation as much as other factors."

Then he when wildebeest on me. I went Chongo on him. The rest seems pretty clear I think.

I am getting very tired of this. I have and eye operation tomorrow. I am tired. I don't need the stress.

GfS: All I can say, respectfully, is it is like stepping into another dimension where your brain(for lack of a better analogy), sends and receives input far different than we do normally...and during one of these experiences, you have NO control, as to what is coming to you...hence the analogy of an orgasm is perfect!
Another thing to remember, is the experience is not just physical, nor mental...and is FAR greater than an orgasm. It is both 'great and terrible'!..


I had an experience pretty much as you're describing a number of years ago. It was awesome...visions, sound, bright lights, and a feeling of euphoria DEEP within me...no control over where it was going and a huge peacefulness.

If I'd been that way inclined, I could easily have ascribed it to communion with a "god" or a "universal spirit" or whatever. But as it happened at 19,000 feet, I'm pretty sure it was just brought on by hypoxia! Despite the cold I felt really hot and my partner had to stop me taking off my clothes.

I know loads of people who've had visions, heard sounds etc when at high altitide, and I'm quite happy that it's down to physical processes and reactions in the brain rather than being "closer to god".

GfS: Again, spirituality is different from 'religion'...and unless you've had a substantial spiritual experience, it would be like trying to 'explain' an orgasm to a virgin...and in like manner, listening to a virgin say there is no such thing as an orgasm, and therefore saying they don't exist is just silly to those who know differently!
Now there might be different reasons for a person NOT experiencing and orgasm, such as fear and insecurity about having one, and those people, often women, may group together and 'discuss' every aspect of being 'fulfilled' and coming to a consensus of how they are above it all..but the fact remains, they haven't had one, and for them to tell other women, who have had one, that having an orgasm with their husband doesn't really exist is just them explaining that they have missed out on something, that they have no idea about. Those who have had one can remember, what it was like before they had one...likewise, those who are frigid, can only 'play down' any 'need' for one.
[...[
It's not a matter of 'believing things ABOUT' an orgasm, like belonging to a 'church', but rather, having the actual experience...and there isn't a way around it in this life.
Having a spiritual experience or having an orgasm is something that is available to everyone in this lifetime, and your husband would LOVE to accommodate your request...much like God regards his people as his Bride!!


What a ridiculous analogy!

How about an alternative....One group experiencing orgasms and putting the explanation down to the idea that there's an invisible 3rd (or 2nd in the case of masturbation!) party in the room "facilitating" the orgasm and without that presence an orgasm wouldn't be possible, whilst another group may also experience orgasms but puts them down to physical and neurochemical reactions and responses to internal and external stimuli on their own bodies, rather than the need for an invisble presence during the process.

I can sit on a mountaintop in the breaking dawn and feel huge awe, and deep, deep happiness, but I don't need to postulate an invisible friend to explain it. It's in me! Other people hear voices or experience visions, and we know that these come from within their own brains...Charles Bonnet Syndrome, for instance, or Schizophrenia, to take just 2 examples. So why shouldn't the experiences other people see as "spiritual" come from within their own brains, rather than being the result of a connection with an intangible external consciousness?

I didn't want anything moderated, I didn't know if y'all still called yourself mud elfs after Joe was removed as moderator.

Joe answered the question and someone fixed the problem before I got a chance to say. All was good!

I was just trying to be nice and to be accurate. Sorry if there was any confusion.

I'm not sure where the term "editor" came from.
This place gets so shrill sometimes it sounds like a bunch of pissed off monkeys. The people crying "foul" are frequently those who want to argue and do little else. I usually can't be bothered to even read the stuff, and if the participants want to throw feces at one another, I ain't gonna try to clean it up.

That said, people bitch about language often do so because that's all they have.

Joe, you are doing a real service here. I'm glad you are allowing different point of view to be expressed. I can't think of many places where conversations of this nature are allowed to take place. On the media, we get loud-mouthed filibusterers who don't allow rebuttals to take place (a Republican tactic). Here, we get to respond hopefully with reason and not with invective (ideally). No one can shut another person up and that's great. Kudos to you, Joe.

Rather interesting that this thread asks who edits.

Sailor boy wants to dictate which parts of his waffle we can comment on.

I wasn't passing comment on the link you gave prat, I was more interested in what you wrote. You might like that because the more I read the more I note the world seems to spin round you.

if I were editing I would keep your comments in as written. Mudcat is after all entertainment.

I can understand the peyote reference...and the tests done, using MRIs on people using psychedelics, do light up the frontal lobe, much the same way I was describing in my previous post...only thing is...I hadn't taken peyote when it happened..that being said, I have a deep respect for our Native American brothers who have seen much the same thing. When we have gotten together to share 'notes', they have had no problem with me either.

Peyote has a long history of ritualistic and medicinal use by indigenous Americans. It flowers from March through May, and sometimes as late as September. The flowers are pink, with thigmotactic anthers (like Opuntia).

I read the BS section to improve my vocabulary and my understnading of the human psyche

GfS: ....but your awareness, of things much larger and fuller, not subject to time fuses into your consciousness...and it's impossible, as far as I know, to discount it....as time goes on, there are reminders all along the way...that just keeps proving itself. Things fall into order...not an order that you can figure out, nor can you configure them out....but they make sense, as they unfold. That's one reason, people outside the experience can clamor all they want about a subject, that SEEMS to make sense to them...but it is only temporary, and in a short time is obsolete.
All I can say, respectfully, is it is like stepping into another dimension where your brain(for lack of a better analogy), sends and receives input far different than we do normally...and during one of these experiences, you have NO control, as to what is coming to you...hence the analogy of an orgasm is perfect!
Another thing to remember, is the experience is not just physical, nor mental...and is FAR greater than an orgasm. It is both 'great and terrible'!...


Seems to me that you have perfectly described the psychedelic experience provided by sacraments such as peyote.

I agree, I get relaxed and sleepy after the later.
