first gathering ocala2010.. advice appreciated!

again, i can't figure out who i'm attacking, or why you think i am. i know some things, sure, and i choose to share them. those who know others will hopefully share them with me. i didn't invent these things, just learned about them to help others. where is your hostility coming from?

 

I really don't get it.

I apologize for only what you feel, but not for what I've done. I've been at this stuff since I was four, and I have done the things I list. I can't see where you're coming from, or what you're taking out on me.

I honestly thought I was helping.

And the *winkwink* was actually intended to be friendly.

So, I'm in the wrong, but you've somehow managed to tell me all this about myself from a vibe you've gotten without ever meeting me? I can't understand. And to source so much, and then dump so much on me, for so little, seems a bit insane, but you're the mod, so your power must have never corrupted your vision.

Now, since you've got an opinion in place of fact, let me validate you. The words are "you're" and "braggart".

I wanted to share a few things with people I care about while I still have time left to do it, and I'm being punished for it. Such is the way of the world, I suppose.

Love, no matter what you mistake it for

stephen

i completely forgot to mention that the *winkwink* referred to the fact that i said this in a post or two above the "luv socks" post...even though it was just trying to be friendly...

"also, a few pairs of socks are great, first off, keep them clean, and second, keep them dry. dry socks at the end of your journey are worth the trouble."

it was about people not reading what was written before them...

i could have cared less that the person was a she.

you have gender equality issues.

 

And to Luv, if I, in any way, offended you by winking, I'm terribly sorry. I'm a lot more caring than some people will make me out to be, and I'm not at all sure why. I thought I was being playful. Honestly.

Love

stephen

 

I just come in here when I'm called.. You try to make others feel small with trying to make yourself look big.. we dont care that much for proper english.. as long as it's ledgable.

But thanks for the lesson..

I'm not attacking you, just trying to tell you your 'ways' are hurting some feelings. Not mine.. Just ease up a bit on ppl who post.. not everyone can see your humor. It sounds like ego tripping, condencending.

If you do not understand 'feelings and vibes' then all I can say is you have a long way home. There are some that rely on their intuition. I am not taking anything out on you. Your imforation is worthy and apperciated but you must remember ppl cannot see your face in here and it's hard to tell when your joking. dig..

you have an illness. you can have your forum, i've always thought that the internet was bad, and you've proven it.

you attacked someone who wanted good. you have to figure out why you assume bad before good. i do not.

enjoy your internet, i'm going back to my woods.

 

Well.....that exchange truly showed that certain people in this thread are too petty and prideful to accept helpful information given by someone excited about sharing his experience. Yes, excited.

He was articulate and it was made out to be, by some UNKNOWN complainer, a bad VIBE. You and the complainer Mod., wouldn't know a bad vibe if it was smokin hooch with you naked.

Why is it that so many on here in Hip are afraid of helpful, practical, information? I read the whole thread....the man was simply excited to have a place to share.

Seriously, most of the people I have met in these forums have no idea what a hippy is or was. It's too bad though; the information that is useful, practical and that requires awareness, isn't welcomed more on a site full of people pretending to be hippies.

GET off your woo woos and pot and actually start producing something that helps others....then people like Stephen won't seem like an egotist who gives off bad viiiibes..

 

i have two last things to say before i leave, three, if you count my thank you to one person who thought i wasn't a complete asshole, which i'm now worried i am.

this is was from the person SHAMELESS said i offended...

Stephen,
Thanks for your cooler info. It'll come in handy with our medical unit. You sd something about a spinal problem. I hope whatever that is will heal. Have fun at Ocala and hope to see you at National. If I aint at Welcome home, I'll be in the parking area dispensing aid. Thanks for the apology, enjoy life.love and all that grooviness!

well, it's cancer, it won't heal, but your love helps

and now the most pertinent thing i heard in my last few days...

"a family lives close to the jungle...at the end of the day, they all sit together...around the fire...they have their supper, and relax by the fire...the youngest boy becomes afraid...he hears all the sounds of all the wild animals in the forest...cheetahs, wolves, jackals, and lions... he starts crying at the darkness and the wild sounds...they fill him with fears...his mother takes him in her arms...and sings to him...the family is always strong together...they protect one another...grandparents, his father and mother...uncles and aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters...they all join and sing together...soon, he falls asleep...only a beautiful song fills his ears...

in the jungle...the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...
hush my baby, don't fear, my darling, the lion sleeps tonight..."

where were you?

 

you can have your damned internet, and check your own ego at the door.

 

I "Enjoy" Your comments and info. So "Don't Leave" Where on this place They call Earth are You from? Peace Brother, Motorcycle Hippy Al aka Sunshine Al & many other aka's.

 

This happens to me all the time, someone gets their feelings hurt so they call me to come in and do the dirtywork. I do it and take the fall.

If you recall I did commend you on your information, I just asked you to not be condencending, and to at least apologise to the sister. You did, she forgave so as far as I am concerned the issue is settled, unless you want to take it furthur and then you'r steping into a new ballpark.

This is nothing but a thing and it too shall pass. I'm not trying to run you off.. I'm done with it if you are. Let it go, it is not worth hanging onto.

Everyone know's I'm a High Holy, dont take it personal. My bark is worst then my bite. If I hurt your fellings, I too, apologise. Misunderstandings happen. Fires egnite and are quickly smothered by reasoning.

I hope this matter is done with so we can all get back to lovin', If I came on too strong, I can only say in my own defence. That I come when I am called and I take Moderating seriously.

 

This is a perfect example of how misunderstanding occure ^ This conversation had nothing to do with Stephen's imformation.

As you have never "Met Me" is it not you who are judging without knowledge.

If you really feel a need to pursue this, then I suggest we take it private and spare the good brothers and sisters the drama.

Preparedness is ALWAYS the better side of choice when it comes to any travel or event.

Anyone preparing BEFORE they go to a gathering has a much better experience at the gathering.

I was part of the security (shawtaseena) at the RG for over 7 years in the 70's and into the 80's and I can not count how many came on a whim, unprepared to deal with the diverse climates, bugs, poison plants and minor to servere injuries. So please...wherever you get the info from, stay open to it and prepare as best you can before you get there.

I hope you all have a happy gathering. I no longer go to them because it changed drastically in its intent. LOL one thing you can count on though is change.

i couldn't find anything offensive in stephenburwick's posts either. i didn't read any overt egotism in his helpful offerings. is the expression of coherent intelligent thought discouraged on this site? if so, then a banner reading "Airheads Only" should be prominently displayed on the top of the Hip Forum home page so those with something more to say than cutesy rainbowish musings won't mistake this site for a "free speech" forum.

 

<snip>


well, i didn't know you were a high holy and you're the first i've known to admit to being one! and here i always thought they were some mystical being not to be seen/known but only bitched about...lol

 

well see, you learned something new ).. you cant tell either when someone is joking. If I have to post a pic of my bellybutton you'r not going to like it.

Now that we got that settled, kiss my cute lil ass, you'll find a picture of it in my album.. have fun and pucker up:-X

 

BTW, you should all take a good look in the mirror bc you have been way more hatefull then I ever was.

 

maybe next time try mediation before attack, and maybe you don't say that people are liars or unable to speak on a subject when you have no idea what you're saying. those, here, are the two biggest injustices. i agree, this should be put behind, because that's where it came out of.

doesn't matter, if you keep your expectations low, you're never disappointed.

still full of love, even for those who can't see, hear, taste, smell, or feel it

 

Are you ppl digging youselves?!?

I'm only going to say this once.

I did not come in here to fight or argue with anyone. I came bc there was a complaint made. It is my job to follow up on the complaints, dig..It was not just in this thread but two threads where the sister felt that "she was under attack". The Mods have to handle thousands of ppl in here, yes, 250,000 or more. It is hard enough without the peanut gallery chiming in when they dont even read the whole thread or really even know what's going on.

I never told Stephen not to post. I never condemed his knowledge. My only concern was some of the remarks he made to the sister in these two threads.

So, with this being said. Anyone else that has something nasty to say to me had best MEDITATE on it first also bc if I have to come in here again I will close this thread and ban the poster..dig..

Play nice or leave the playground.
