Hi Al,
You sure aren't in the wrong for speaking your mind, and I am sure your conscience has assured you of this. I applaud your being honest and open, not "going along to get along." I just remain a bit baffled by some of Roy's comments, when he himself may not have even read his own boards, but gone on what others have told him.
FILTH? Where was that, EVER, on the board? I didn't see any, but maybe I missed some thread. Venom? maybe...didn't see all threads, but I didn't call most of the blunt talk venom. In a world where most people smile and gossip behind peoples' backs, I found friend or foe of mine, both refreshing when talking BLUNTLY to my face, or others.
Roy has told us STRONGLY to get a bucket load of guts and speak up, all the while telling us that sure, we may do it in the wrong way at first, but it's better to have the guts and DO It, speak up, in confrontation, than to sit idly by, and be a coward, NOT speaking up. I therefore didn't see VENOM, personally. Maybe I missed what someone else calls venom, cuz I would be there several days in a row, then absent a couple or three days, always having my time off, more quiet time, and just being more busy with family, etc, as it should be.
I still stand by the fact that the written word is much harder to read than hearing someone speak. I insist that if Roy weren't who he is and we hadn't heard him SPEAK of so many things, and that if he came and posted his more blunt stuff that he says on radio and in person, on a forum, he would sound venomous at times, very possibly. Anyone would and I bet all of us did, or could have, at one time or another. I intentionally read many posts one day with an intentional bad tone, and read the same ones with a kinder, more cheerful, or intentionally read them as if the person was just being motherly, fatherly and loving and I insist that a person's written words, when being blunt and corrective, can sound BOTH WAYS.
I still feel that what Roy has SAID, is NOT the whole picture of why the board went down. For now, my best guess is that he just admited to himself that a board was a bad idea from the get-go. He himself knows he draws the best and worst to himself; the best for obvious reasons, and the worst for the venomous hate and reactions they have to the light.
Bottom line is that board was NOT so bad, not by anything I could ever see, and all it needed was a strict hand of saying that as the original mission said, we were there to discuss ROY's ideas and teachings, so erase the new age way out there goofball stuff, we were there to POST, so erase all artwork, cartoons and stuff that WASTED space, and ban anyone obviously stirring up discord.
Am I sad or bummed out the board is gone? Nah...this place will be better moderated and we all will get back to hashing out the issues, beyond the puzzle of why and how the board really went down.
