Sam, it's no secret that you are upset, but please do tone down! I agree with Donny that your posts are over the top.

No doubt, some posts, like Archivist's have been sharp and offensive to you.

However, much of what has been said, whether calmly, diplomatically, inflamingly, or offensively, has been in reaction to some very provocative statements on your part - statements that you do not prioritize caring about the consequences of certain of your actions. This is highly inflammatory on your part. I urge you to remember that where many of us are coming from, and why we are passionate about these subjects, is we are protective over others we care about. We simply don't want to see each other mess it up for innocents, blinded by our zeal. It is obvious some feel very strongly about actions you have taken in the past, and actions which you will embark on in the future.

What you have to say is important, and what you have done and are doing now to expose The Family is monumental. Speaking for myself, I admire your zeal, and I admire the fact that many things are very clear cut for you - you know the course of your actions.

While many of us share the common goals of exposing and/or dismantling The Family, we differ in methods and ideas of how to go about it. Of course, we are entitled to our own views - we don't all need to agree completely with each other about everything - in fact there is strength in diversity.

Still, the matters we have touched on are obviously a much needed discussion, and there is a lot of useful information being shared that will be drowned out if all of us do not tone down. There are no easy answers, but we are trying to determine what NOT to do, and how NOT to go about dismantling The Family apparatus.

Peace!
