Without knowing the genesis or details of this matter I will say this ...

AS an aside, I don't generally follow threads. I put my creative inspirations out there and let them stand in those moments. If anyone would like to discuss anything with me please feel free to send e-mail.

Starcat, if you can't be bothered to actually read up on the previous posts in a thread, maybe you ought not participate.     By cavalierly jumping in to voice an uninformed opinion, you are disrespecting the people who actively participate here, and you are disrepecting me personally as I am the one who started this thread.   

This topic of conversation has been quiet for months now, and there are very few problems on the forum.  And it is a private forum, mind you: that means that all communications here are subject to the absolutist, arbitrary, authoritarian, autocratic, autonomous, despotic, dictatorial, full, monocratic, preemptory, sovereign, supreme, totalitarian, tyrannical whims of the web Master, and are not subject to the vote of "we the people."  That may seem strange to you but the rest of us have chosen to stick around anyway, for he's a jolly good fellow.

So if you feel the need to resurrect an old topic, or have an opinion or question about something, please show us the courtesy of actually reading what's already been written first, and THEN posting your comment.    Because just spitting out a hasty criticism in an existing thread, and then darting away saying  "any questions e-mail me" is neither an appropriate nor a considerate means of communicating in a discussion forum such as this one.  Perhaps a personal blog or website would provide a more a suitable platform for you to air your opinions.    And that way you'd have the added feeling of security that comes from knowing no one else can moderate you.

This post is not intended to make anyone wrong in their viewpoint, but to offer an alternative that will empower all here. It is also a step towards further unification and solidarity in defining and refining what this network of people [spirits] wish to stand for within this plane of experience.

Actually, I wrote those words almost exactly a year ago!   I'm more of a lurker here lately.  But, as Montalk said, these things do seem to be cyclical, so I'm glad you've decided to stick around.

Interesting, it's obvious that I am not a person who pays attention to dates- maybe I should! Thanks for making me feel welcome (you to, Montalk);  it feels good to be wanted.

I am new to this forum.  After reading some of the nonsensical bickering between members I am becoming somewhat disinterested in participating. You are right Morningsun76. Thank you for pointing out that this is a recent development. Perhaps I'll stick around a while and see what happens.

Hi Seemefly,

Actually, I wrote those words almost exactly a year ago!   I'm more of a lurker here lately.  But, as Montalk said, these things do seem to be cyclical, so I'm glad you've decided to stick around.

Virtually all of the peaceful, regular contributing members to NR who have been here for the last few months have, in the past few days, posted complaints in one thread or another.  These complaints center around the actions of certain people who have recently shown up and in various ways are seriously diluting the quality of information on this forum.  I am concerned that if this continues, new truthseekers who come across Noble Realms may take one look at this forum and decide "this isn't for me," or worse, we may begin losing existing good members who get frustrated with the nonsense.

Let's hear from some of the many members I haven't yet met. Is there anyone besides Matt who lives in Sydney? Let's get to know each other - not just on the surface.

Hey, that's not fair mavis! There's no single NR'er living around istanbul!

PS: "mavis" is the word used for "blue eyed" people in turkish. i don't know if your eyes are blue but from the first post you've sent i feel the uplifting and positive energy in the posts. thanks for that!

*musing out loud*

Beyond polarizing a fundamentaly cohesive, yet relatively varied group, the introduction of discordance interrupts a growing sense of trust: to share, to explore, to take risks, to try on a variety of thoughts- live with them awhile and decide if they belong to our individual and collective realities.
It was interesting to me that the recent discord began on a thread where it was "seen", and understood for its basis, more quickly perhaps than if the subject matter were more complex.

Perhaps this created an opportunity for all us to reflect on the intent of our presence, our willingness to share, and where our individual boundaries may or may not impact our daily interactions.

Be well all.

I'll be deleting further posts about shoes, spelling errors, pets, trolling, mike tyson (oops wrong thread),

That thread is all wrong!! It was actually JACOB who was the reincarnation _OF_  . . . Hulk Hogan. 

*runz*

I'll stick around for a while longer, not quite ready to completely abandon this place as I think the good still far outweighs the bad (please, nobody start arguing that good and bad are false dichotomies, we get it lol). Like you said, might get better, might not. We'll just have to see and wait. My grandpa always said it gets worse before it gets better...

It takes great strength and tenderness to moderate NR where all the ideas and frequencies can blend.  Sometimes they just don't or don't know how to do it.

Thank you for your efforts in keeping the focus of peace and insight directed.  After about a month here, I find this to be among the most brilliant sites currrently on the Web.

May love and light balance all surfacing friction.  And none of this is boring.  Like a great story.

Just trying to put a little humor on this energy draining debate!

Bye for now,

It is energy draining.  But, I've made my point I think.   

Bye for now! 

Saw the wounds and let them heal!

Become friends or at least learn to tolerate each other!

Why can't we just get along?
