Hi Gabs, No I am not afraid of dogs. My partner and I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, and we all live together in harmony most the time. Why do you ask??? I do not feel insulted by Allan. He is how he is. I am in this group to bounce my ideas around. I expect the so called thinking people in this group to try to find faults with my ideas and to point them out to me. The best way to test an idea is to have it knocked down. Just to say that my ideas are faulty does not knock them down. I want to know where they are wrong so that I can make my case stronger. Hearing that my ideas are not original tells me something about the person who says that. I am in this group to share my ideas and to build on the ideas of others.
The loudest voices are often the weakest, and I have learned to ignore them. They are for me like the yells (or barks) of bullies who just want to get attention. Arrogance, ignorance and hypocrisy are very easy to spot. Like you point out, changing the topic or derailing (or loud barking) is one clear sign. Censorship is another. I have absolutely no problems with anyone else in this group. Yes, there is a lot of mud in this group, but like Allan says, diamonds are found in deep mud.

Insulting you, as usual. Tz, derailing is for beginners.May I ask if you are afraid of dogs, Andrew? Maybe Allan can sense that, and then you are to blame again, and Allan and the Mod Gods have it all right as usual. And? How sane do you find my theory?2014-05-29 20:40 GMT+02:00 andrew vecsey <andrew...@gmail.com>:
Very typical response from you Allen.

Then complains we are not giving him diamonds. You have to dig through a lot of mud to find a diamond. Not just expect to recieve the diamonds others have to dig out.

To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to minds-eye+...@googlegroups.comOn insanity, I'm struck by the difference between what we might find walking about and the fungible numbers of our banking and government kleptocracies, with prostitution, drugs and gambling included in GDP. Andrew has made something of this point with his 'time walks' in the past. Are our economic and political systems esoteric or some kind of mad hoax? If we used the same GDP calculation we had 20 years ago, GDP to government debt ratios would be over 100% everywhere. I think the truth is we are being hoaxed and they want us to feel insane as we walk around in our destroyed cities and towns.--

What you want are commentators better than the original post used to kick something off. As for staying on topic, you manage to come up with a title here that has little to do with what you post. Who cares if some sort of non-naff exchange takes place?

There are always some flashes within insanity that defy its own definition.
I think I am going insane. I keep checking this group for some flashes of thought motivation, but those flashes seem to be very rare.
What I do find is a pile of bickering and self gratification.
We are on the internet throwing ideas around, and if our ideas are "copied", then we should be happy.
Perhaps I am hooked on this very small group of so called thinkers who every once in a while throw around ideas that make me think and learn.
It is like finding a diamond. When you find one, you want to return to find some more.
Maybe a part of the problem is that we all get off the track of the discussion too easily.
Perhaps the main role of a moderator is not to sensor what is regarded as "spam", but rather to keep people from derailing a discussion.
