ClayNashvilleTn: Congrats on the rapid growth of your new F/S. Already 18 of the brightest and the best on BK have joined and I hope and believe many more will come and explore this new and better idea.
Our fellowship is so close to reaching our 200th member we are currently accepting applications. Ask not what we can do for you..ask what you can do for Purple World.
harley: Most (not all) private fellowships have anti-leaking rules put in and enforced by the Big Boss. Public Boards can not be leaked because by definition they are public but there can be a lot of off topic violations. Like Chess does not usually belong on Poetry. LOL.
It must be a matter of perception then Rod. Mike wanted to be friends with everyone even with those that insulted him. I have never seen him attack anyone that didn't attack him first. NO ONE can say that about stevie. But we can agree to disagree.
The only problem I see with your grow up advice is that you throw it out selectively to those who are not on the "side" you are currying favor with. There is no more malignant troublemaker on Brainking than Mr. Stevie but you reserve your jump ins for others.
Again you are right James. It is a tall order to ask those bored and lonely people to stop but I am willing to take their abuse in silence on the one condition that they leave Kammy out of it. They try to get to me through her and to her through me. Come and join us in Purple World where you can see what she has to say about it. The 82 people we have there are neither strident nor warlike. They have not taken sides. They are there in peace and friendhip and that is all we really wanted to be about.
Perhaps the same lecture directed at your friends would have some results. Don't count on it. LOL. They have more fellowships than I so they must fancy themselves leaders. It went back to the KM where so many of them drank deeply from the poison cup and then "confessed" about half of what they did..blaming the rest on me. Yes you did suffer scorn James but it was in a huge part orchestrated by those you now speak for. Maybe it is you who has leadership qualities. I think you do. In all the wrongful things that were said about you I don't ever recall your marital status being considered fair game. This comes at me from people who don't know any more than they have been fed. When people ask me to be contrite my reply is first, last and always "kiss my ass." We want to be left alone but everytime I post anywhere the site busybody is on with a nasty remark. His loss, my gain.
I do see your point James and of course you are right. I too have felt offended by the vicious attacks on me and on my friend Kammy. If you read the Cave and Boiler Room you will see why this doesn't die down.
