I would suggest if you (or anyone) are returning books, I would not send to a post office box. A physical mailing address is a normal request for most business`s.

It helps assure the person requesting the product are who they say they are.

Simply a small measure for those who may share your concerns.

I do realize everyone has a right to free speech. I also realize that Randall started this site, and has been more than accomodating and fair to many people over the years in letting them express themselves until they compromise the rules and ethics this site supports.

Again, I don't know what was said as the thread is gone, but I think that if he was an "unjust ruler," as some people are claiming him to be, going on and on about it stirring the pot and trying to get everyone to see how "unfair" he is is a waste of time and energy.

Yes, speak your mind, it's your right. As it is also his right to tell people they have gone too far and ask for some peace and fair play.

... something else I've noticed over the past five years: People always say "goodbye", then hang around continuing to gripe and bring up the negativity when if they were truly so put off, they should just go when they say they are going to. I just don't get it...

Ok ghanima, I get it.... I thought you and I got along quite well but now it would seem otherwise.

To be honest, it was a relief not to be a moderator anymore- I need to be able to say what I feel no matter what. These things sure can seduce the ego.....no offense, it is just my observations concerning the human race and human behavior- I am human too after all.

Not at all, actually. As I said, I have no idea what happened. As I also said, people have the right to say whatever they want. I have always been an objective observer on this site, and I will continue to do so.

My observation is of another person who has been wounded and now has to rant on and on about it, instead of letting peace exist, whether that means getting over the conflict themselves or removing themselves from the site, as they claim they are going to do. End of story.

And I have never had a problem with you. I think you have brought a lot of light and love to this site. It seems like the people here who have always been "love, peace, kindness" all the time take things the hardest and these confrontations/conflicts affect them the most.

I'm glad you are finally speaking your mind, I know you have been a doormat, as have I... there is a big difference between standing up for yourself and beating a dead horse.

Hopefully, as has happened countless times in the past, a resolution will be reached in this matter and we won't lose valued and loved members. But what will be, will be. You make your own destiny.

I wish you nothing but clariy and

why not giving names? you have your freedom of speech isn't it? or may be you don't want to hurt anyone, but it doesn't look like that otherwise you would not have mention "another person".

or we hide behind this excuse to sound good but in fact or words blame someone using this freedom of speech. could it be that, the freedom of speech you talk about ghanima? just a question.

God, I hate being human. We'll never see peace on Earth- its just not in the nature of this world or this reality.

I want to be Omnipresent.

I want to be at One with everything.

In this world, there is nothing but separation and competition for energy, whether we're talking of the food chain or things in general.

Well, praecipua, it's been five years, there have been many people in that time that have done that. I find it undignified to say who, as an objective observer, it would not be prudent, I did not say that to start another argument. It's an observation. I'm sure many others who have been around for a while have seen it too.

Just an answer.

Once again, I said I did not know what happened, as the thread was deleted. I have now read it, and now know.

I could not keep up with everything this weekend. My post was in observation of the things that are still here and have been carried out since yesterday.

I meant no ill will, I was merely stating what I saw, have seen, and making a comment about how it has happened in the past.
