Date: October 21, 2013 04:17PM Did you re-activate John Rose's account yet? I would have asked you in a PM, but it's not functioning. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/21/2013 04:29PM by KidRaw. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 01:50PM What happened? Was John Rose banned? Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 02:48PM He was suspended for 30 days on the 13th of September as a warning to the rest of us who were talking politics, but the 30 days have been up for a while now, so I was thinking maybe Bryan forgot to re-instate his account. I see Bryan is posting on the main forum, so I guess I'll ask him about it over there. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 05:54PM Why was he banned then? Just curious. Not trying to debate or anything. PEACE! I assumed that it was done to say that political talk won't be tolerated. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 06:03PM That's how I interpreted Bryan's statements when he explained why he 'gave John Rose a vacation' -
[www.rawfoodsupport.com] "I've asked people here to refrain from post political and economic posts to the other topics forum, as well as the rest of this forum. John has consistently felt that he didn't need to follow these rules. As such, I am deactivating John's account for the next 30 days. For others making political and economic posts, you can also expect the same." "This is why I am going to be give out more vacations as people add political or economic posts here." ************** If that's not a warning, I don't know what is. But then, I'm not a wordsmith.

Date: October 24, 2013 06:25PM Hi Superjuice -
(Further explanation as per your inquiry on the Main Forum) You probably didn't even know we had an Other Topics Forum, because only a couple people post here since it became so boring. And most who do start a thread, are mostly now posting raw food and other health related topics, which are intended to go on the Main Forum and Other Health Related Forum, but I guess they're trying to keep the Other Topics Forum limping along.

Date: October 24, 2013 06:56PM Interpret how you wish Kidraw he was banned for many reasons most if which he was reported for
The way you make it sound is he was banned as a warning to the rest of which is not true no matter what color you highlight it Drama much ? ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist ![]() Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 06:59PM And if it's so boring here why don't you leave why come back and say anything at all.?
You are one person here of many who don't feel it is boring at all Maybe you (and john) should get together and start your own exciting forum that is based around debate if that is what you are looking for ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist ![]() Re: To Bryan

But I stand by my assessment that he was banned AS a warning. Two different words here - FOR (which I neglected to state) and AS (which I am correct in my usage) Please go back and re-read my second post in this thread, and I think you'll see that I did use the word "AS", and not the word "FOR". Good try but no cigar on the Twisting of my words ![]() Re: To Bryan

Date: October 24, 2013 07:39PM I have to admit that I find it to be boring. The people who complained the most vociferously about the political talk aren't doing anything to keep things interesting now that it's gone. It's like okay it's your time to shine. This is the atmosphere you begged and pleaded for...crickets. Re: To Bryan

The reason I came back is to represent John Rose who may be stuck in cyberspace chomping at the bit to come back. He is one of us, after all. And as far as 'drama' goes, this forum thrives on drama. This thread has gotten more replys in one day than the rest of them garnered in over a month. It needed an injection of adrenaline. ![]() Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/24/2013 07:48PM by KidRaw.

Date: October 24, 2013 08:50PM I like the drama! If you're healthy, the debate and disagreement should roll right off of you with no negative effect at all. I learn from it. Everyone being in lock-step with one point of view has nothing to do with enlightenment or peace. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 26, 2013 04:17PM Oh did john ask you to represent him? I highly doubt it he's far more intelligent then that
Again if you feel the need for drama start your forum this obviously isn't thenplace for you ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist ![]() Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 12:59AM HH I have many varied points of view and don't feel any need to have drama to get them across to anyone. It has nothing to do with peace or enlightenment .. I am far from my own journey of enlightenment. I just don't feel contentious debate has any place in a forum that is here to serve people "looking" for peace and health and education.
Likewise in real life , I don't go into institutes of learning or education and Act loud, rude, annoying and make a ruckus, call people names etc. .. simply for the reason its more exciting. I liken this forum to a place of learning and I am with Bryan I prefer "the feel of this forum now that the politics is gone. Its less active, but the energy feels way nicer." ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist ![]() Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 01:21AM If you scroll down the list of threads, it just a bunch of mostly Panchito posting and nobody replying or a bunch of threads that belong in the Other Health Related or Main Forum and most threads only have 1 or 2 replies.
Inactive and boring. It's OK if you have nothing else to do, but if you're busy and like to read something interesting when you have a chance to get online, this Other Topics forum would put you to sleep. Looking at the threads again, I see that in the last month, only HH has posted interesting topics that are not health-related. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 01:39AM Bryan, would you be so kind as to move the threads in this "Other Topics" Forum which are "Other Health Related" to the Other Health Related Forum, please, or is it now OK to post a thread on any subject in any forum willy-nilly regardless of topic. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 02:06AM By "drama" I mean something totally benign. I walk away from the debate here with a smile on my face. It's no big deal and it's nice to see other's points of view. I take it lightly and enjoy the banter. I don't see the rudeness and I don't see people being aggressive. People are going to disagree. La-dee-dah. It's no skin off my back. This specific forum is not a health forum by the way.

Date: October 27, 2013 02:09AM I would also disagree with there being health related topics here but I know how to ignore threads that don't interest me. For example, if I weren't interested in politics I would ignore the political threads instead of banning them. It's that simple. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 03:04AM Well maybe you should "be the change you wish to see" and start some threads that are of interest to you. I'd also recommend avoiding those which are not. It's really that simple. I'm done with this. Good night. Re: To Bryan

Date: October 27, 2013 10:03PM You're the boss, but I do agree that this forum should be kept to other topics and that the health related should be moved to the proper forums.
