Lol. What did I do? lol.

Fed the Troll!!!!!!!!!!!!

A.r.w. has had a year long troll fest! There's so much trolling and
throwing troll cookies around here, trolls attacking other trolls, and
people slumming with trollery on a weekend, that the place has become
the troll red light area of usenet.

*whoooowoooooo*

I am the ghost of Mithras Past!

Seriously though, since a.r.w is always cross linked to a.m. these
days, it would be interesting to read an 'a.r.w best of' - threads
that the regulars think exemplify the most interesting material that's
been discussed on a.r.w. in the past.

Sorta Kinda.
Hey they KOOK BASHERS, are HOLLYWOOD Writers.

One more time for the brain-dead "Tom":

You are not allowed to open your punk mouth in my presence.

Are you really so far gone that you actually believe I read your
garbage posts?

If not, then what's the point in responding to articles at all?

No one worth talking to pays a pinheaded ideological thug like
you any mind at all, so you can't possibly do me any harm in
that area.

This is a very amusing situation which our friend "Tom" isn't
bright enough to grasp: I don't read a word he posts and he
reads everything I post.

I can kick him in the head all day long and he'll just stand
there and take it.

Yes, Martha, idiots can operate computers. Whoodathunit?

"Tom" replied to this, too.

Am I curious about what he posted? No.

He is an incredibly boring person.

He doesn't even realize that he isn't even posting
on this group.

It's real members all dump his posts unread.

He's just talking to his fellow idiot trolls.

Wow a Troll Babbling to himself in a Mirror

Yep.  Sid, and the private little hell he has constructed for himself,
remind me of these passages from the fantasy novel Test of the Twins,
Dragonlance Legends volume III:

"True, you will rule unchallenged.  You will rule a dead world.  A world
your magic destroyed.  You will rule alone.  And you will *be* alone,
alone in the formless, eternal void."

- - -

"Easy will it be for us to slip back into our dreamless sleep.  For you,
Raistlin, there will be no sleep.  Only an endless waking, endless
listening for sounds that will never come, endless staring into a void
that holds neither light nor darkness, endless shrieking words that no
one will hear, no one will answer, endless plotting and scheming that
will bear no fruit as you turn round and round upon yourself.  Finally,
in your madness and desperation, you will grab the tail of your existence
and, like a starving snake, devour yourself whole in an effort to find
food for your soul."

"But you will find nothing but emptiness.  And you will continue to exist
forever in this emptiness - a tiny spot of nothing, sucking in everything
around itself to feed your endless hunger..."

                HG

So... not the sort of book you read at bedtime then?  That's horrible
HG!

Yup, the Legends-trilogy books were in retrospect the only Dragonlance books
worth reading.

I'm not surprised it's too much for you, though.  The books were written by
adults for adults.  Since "somehow, your mind never made it to adolesence,"
as Erwin said, I don't recommend scary books like that for you.

Stick with children's books, with perhaps the occasional milder "young adult"
novel if you're feeling especially bold.

Its curious to see people who say they are Wiccan or Pagan follow so
many Christian traditions. Gibbon reported that when Polemus circulated
his criticism of well known pagan clerics and prophets, people were just
appalled. Only Christians did that sort of thing.

It's not really all that suprising. America has strong Christian
roots, unlike the United Kingdom (for instance) where less than 10 %
of the population are practising Christians who attend church.

I don't know the work of Polemus (references would be good:-) ).

As Christianity is so much a part of the social structures of America
then it's inevitable that people will face problems in the community
in breaking away from that tradition and that mind set. Effectively -
christianity in the suburbs of America has become one huge abusive
cult - the effects of which are psychologically harmful on many
different levels and that requires the support of the alternative
pagan community along with a high level of experise from it's leaders
both in sociological and psychological disciplines to overcome the
damage in it's members - otherwise Christian conditioned behaviour
will (and does) cross over to the pagan systems.

There are parallels with another well known social system -
institutional school. Inevitable the greater proportion of those who
have been through the formal school system and indoctrinated with it's
values from earliest childhood will not recognise how they have been
conditioned to follow authority figures and give up their autonomy -
and people have a great deal of difficulty (and repressed anger!) when
they realise this and try to instigate/reawaken thier own capacity to
teach themselves. The best teacher is always within you - for this is
how you learned to walk, learned language, and knew moral distinction
as an inherent rightness of your own natural system of functioning
awareness and organisation presets.

In the united kingdom it used to be that the elitist few who got to
university would be deprogrammed as part of the curriculum and
inducted into a new self supporting society that demanded that they
think for themselves. American pagans are challenged to duplicate
this feat - without the inherent elitism.

And if 'elitism' is inherent in the human animal?

Then this elitism is acknowledged as part and parcel of the human
animal, but does not extend into non animalistic realms. The human
(across all it's paradigm genetic divides) is self aware - and has a
functional structure relating to his senses. However - different
animals have different social structures and the strength of these
relate to thier genetics.

Let us see it - the animal self like Malkuth in perfect knowledge of
Kether and the contradiction is such pure correspondence.

But between pure light and pure darkness there is the rainbow - and
the greyscale that Hod makes of it sometimes. :-)

Quote:
Theoretically one can be elite without being abusive about it.

THe superficial elitism of pop culture does seem to require an "in your
face" attitude but that is, imo, only typical of the species, not of
elitism per se.

Funny how the term 'elite' has become almost derogatory these days.

Now if it were only so simple as to be able to merely choose to be
special or select.

Unfortunately pop culture seems to encourage people to be famous for
being famous with  no other contribution to society than achieving media
attention.
