    I was banned from the BET message boards because I stood up to the white supremacists who would regularly attack and troll the various forums and threads.

    The moderators weren't doing their job, so I took it upon myself to intervene - so to speak.

    probably i think nostelgia was a factor, for a time that may mostly have existed in my mind. that 'akuna mutata' way of life, the layed back feel of it, that is only rarely experienced, even "back in the day" it was far from universal, but as i always mention, it was itself a time of looking forward more then back, and that, as much as anything, is for me, the index fossil of it.
    and at the time, a large population of the site, were "index fossils" like myself, though perhaps not most as much like myself, as again i have always wished to imagine.

    the herb was a factor, and other freedoms perhaps not entirely inshrined in law, but not to mind, the central pivot of the era media had a vested interest in portraying it to be.
    i think more of a factor was pacificism, or at least anti-war ism, and civil rights were a major factor of the era. so to was an openness to beyond the box thought, as typified by alicia bay laural's living on the earth, the dome book series, concluding with 'shelter', and of course the "last" and subsiqent and prequisite, "whole earth catalogue".

    ...

    I joined simply because Candy Gal who I have known for years, PMd me on another forum and said you had found a forum you thought was great, and to give it a try.
    Well I did.
    And I like!:)

    So if anyone here doesn’t like me.
    Just blame Gal for me being here! :)

    .........

    I was originally drawn in by the barefoot forum. I had converted to barefoot living some years prior, and was looking for a moral support kinda place.

    I was looking for other hippies online, back when this site was called HIPPYLAND. This was years ago. I lost my PC in a fire, so that was that--until a few months ago, when I found my way back on my phone, and here I am!

    I've been kicked off countless websites, for merely stating my opinion and doing research. For example, I went through the Reddit websites for science, using them to develop my analog logic. Before booting me off, an academic once asked how I might retaliate, and I told him I was talking down names. What I didn't tell him, is I'm developing cheap bots that can argue with the best of them, making Business-As-Usual, Flat-Out-Impossible!

    Hip forums is a great place for me to develop my analog logic, which is already good enough to produce cheap bots that can bring even Facebook and Reddit to their knees. People insisting they can rule the world need to be shown how its done.

    I identify as a(n) hippie. Not too many places left (except MOTHER JONES or MOTHER EARTH).
