I am going to 'wrap' up something that has been very personal to me over these last few years. Its not so much for others I do this...but something for me, as it has brought me struggle and joy.

Hi Lynette! Welcome to Bring4th! Thank for sharing your experience! You have done so beautifully and with love! As I read your story, I felt the sincerity and love pouring forth.

Some really strange things began to happen in my life (Ill have to put that story in the other forum!).

I would love to hear more of your story! (As I'm sure others would too.) Please feel free to post a more detailed account in our Wanderer Stories sub-forum if you wish.

...the forum there is strictly moderated and my growing new vibration was feeling like it was being pushed down when my posts were refused or changed. I tolerated this....I loved all the members there at DC

I was a 'backup' mod, back when it was asc2k, for a very short while a few years ago. I left because I wasn't comfortable with the level of moderation/censorship. I know of some others who left for the same reason. I still have some friends over at DC whom I keep in touch with...and I still lurk there occasionally, though I've never joined as a member when it changed from asc2k to DC. Evidently DW feels the tight moderation is important. From what I understand, tight moderation is actually common at private forums. Some of my Christian friends told me that their forums are like that. Every post is scrutinized and anything not in alignment with their mission is censored. For example, in my friend's Christian forum, someone would not be allowed to voice a differing opinion about a belief outside their accepted beliefs...like, for example, reincarnation. If I were to join their Christian forum and say I believed in reincarnation, my statement would get censored. Evidently it's common practice for the private religious forums.

People have asked them to make a section with open posting....but I think they are afraid it would get filled with negative junk. Its because David puts himself out there...and for people that dont agree with his line of thought....you have religious people calling him Satan and living in fear of him. Im in the opinion though....the group at DC would fend off any negative vibrations from rude posters just fine...but DC doesnt want to have to waste time fending off negative posts...so they moderate everything making the flow of conversing very bumpy.

I can understand that it must be very difficult dealing with the religious people who think he's 'satan.' I've been called that myself, on some discussion forums, just because I admitted that I find pieces of the truth in many various religions! And I'm not even famous!!!

When I was there (if I remember correctly), I think some of the established members were allowed to post without being on 'moderator' status. Perhaps they've changed their policy since I left.

BUT.....like all things that seem 'negative'....this leave allowed me to join some 'Lion Den' forums like ATS to share my story with others again. I knew before posting there I had to prepare for the fact that I didnt have mods protecting me from negative feedback. But it all went really well!

I'm not familiar with that forum. Is 'Lion Den' the actual name, or are you just describing it because of the level of attacks at those kinds of forums? Glad to hear it went well! Sounds like that turned out to be an empowering experience for you!

Also at ATS...I was able to hash out alot of anger and feelings I had from being raised a orthodox christian...I discussed with others how God can be only love and make them scrutinize the path they were walking. This was something I needed to do for my inner past self.

Oh wow, I've had the same experience on another forum, some time back. It was quite an experience! Some people called me 'satanic' while others thanked me for opening their minds about beliefs they had always taken for granted. It was a public forum and therefore unmoderated. Those forums can be brutal! A lot of hostility from people just from disagreement. I wasn't there very long...it was too ugly! So I left.

After that experience, I can understand that DW wants to avoid that sort of ugliness. Perhaps there is a middle ground between censorship and a total free-for-all?

...did I tell you all yet that I ramble...?

That's ok! Many of us do! But we love it!

Well I do. Please forgive.

Nothing to forgive!

When I found this forum, I was on the verge of crying all day yesterday. I called my mom and shared my joys with her (she is my real life confidon). Then, as luck had it yesterday, I logged back in later and was just in time to ask Carla a question!

That's so cool! I'm so glad you found us!

As much as I love the people there...my spirit was restricted....and that is the LAST thing a spirit needs while growing.

I understand.

When returning there the other day...I thought....I really dont want to come back and take that chance again of being so scrutinised. The timing of 'falling' here was.....PERFECT. It seemed my path was all meant to be just the way it was. And....I feel that this site...will be my rest.

We're pretty open here. We do reserve the right to edit or delete a post if it's really negative, but I've almost never had to do that. Maybe once or twice in 11 months! The most I ever do, usually, is sometimes move a thread to a different (more appropriate) location, ie. sub-forum. Or I might occasionally merge some threads if they are of the same topic. But I almost never edit any actual text, and if I do, I notify the person of the reason. Even so, as I said, this (editing) has happened only a couple of times. We have deleted a thread maybe 2-3 times because the content was against forum guidelines, and that decision was weighed out verrrrrrrry carefully. We don't take any sort of editing lightly at all! I often marvel at how awesome everyone here is, and how positive and uplifting all the posts are. It's very, very rare that there's even a hint of negativity, and if there is, usually the other members elevate it to positive.

I wish the best for David...

I do as well! I think most of us here all wish him the best. I am very grateful for the fantastic compilations of scientific data he has put together, and still refer people to his works.

(I dont have to know you to love you!). I am so happy to be 'here'.

We love you too! And are happy you're here!
