The only way to know is to be there. Some people have a crusty or undiplomatic manner on the Net and yet are marvelous people when you get to know them. Others are smooth as silk in their online manners...and yet are snakes when you get to know them. Others are both diplomatic AND genuinely nice in their character. Two Bears is of the first category among those three.

It would be nice if we were all perfect in every way... :-)

As for that other shaman, oh yeah, he knew how to move energy all right. Mostly bad energy, and for a bad purpose. Talk about a big waste of a great deal of expertise and ability...
