You can try to block your eyesight from the sun and it will keep shining nonetheless.
To try to avoid catalyst isn't the purpose of incarnating in 3D, even more so at Earth, at this particular space/time juncture.
Opposition aggrandizes one's resolution to whatever path one may choose to trail.
Notwithstanding that, The Creation is One, and Service to the Creation Itself is the only type of service that there is.
I would like to reply to Desaad's post when I have more time, though with all of this fuzz I don't know if they will be able to actually read and interact with it.
There's a frequent tendency in all people to try to stick to crystallized ideas or beliefs and to react with violence whenever these beliefs are put in check. It seems to be a human tendency to be overcome.
I, for one, am enjoying a contrast of opinions and standpoints for once in this forum. We're already saturated with echo chambers in today's pseudo-diverse world.
To try and erase whoever wants to state their opinions and truth is to consequently try and erase the Creation itself — a futile endeavor — and ironically a behavior associated with the denial, suppression, and oppression, characteristics of the system that has chastised humankind for so long.
There are guidelines one must follow to be here. If you want to debate with someone who practices negative philosophies and manipulates others, there are places in which you are free to go and explore their ideologies.
Also, as you may know, because to me you seem well read, there are numerous books in which to learn more about the way these entities think and move. This way too, there is no ignorance surrounding what we know about them.
I had stated before, I do not care what they think, how they move and operate in this world. I acknowledge that darkness is the same as the light but varies only by degree therefore giving a place in creation for the darkness to be. It is their manipulative tactics that I do not appreciate and how they goad people into sharing their energy with them through talking and such (mind games). Much goes on behind the scenes that we are not aware of. Engaging with someone who claims to be polarizing negatively can be dangerous to the one whose chosen polarity if positive. If you cannot see that, I do not know what else to say. As you seem to think it is fun and exciting to exchange "ideas".
We should not take for granted that words are power because the thought preceeded the word. Our thoughts are connected to our intentions if we are an entity who is self-conscious enough to truly know ourselves. Therefore, words and word exchanges can be detrimental to the one who polarizes positive.
To add onto Ohr Ein Sof's points.
There is a difference between having a fruitful discussion wherein there is a disagreement in philosophy due to both entities having very different goals or objectives, and attempting to have a good discussion with someone who has no intentions of doing so, and instead only wants to have fun at the expense of others.
Once someone shows they are not legitimately engaging with others, the best option for oneself and the forum as a whole is to not engage that person. This doesn't even need to be about polarization.
A troll's game is to incite comments and steer discussion solely for their own amusement. This can be as juvenile as someone making inappropriate jokes and simply being insulting, or as sophisticated as someone starting as a seemingly genuine part of a discussion and slowly derailing threads to be all about themselves and whatever they steer it towards.
One of the characteristics of trolls is they seldom stop on their own, they continue as long as they get engagement, or get banned. Often they come back with another username and pretend to be a new member before starting all over again.
This is not good to allow for any community but especially one like this as it 1) encourages the same person to come back and keep trolling, and 2) encourages other trolls who see the success of one and decide to have fun for themselves. Temporary account locks, and even bans are only a superficial way to stop trolls. The only real way is to not feed them. This is up to the community members to recognize trolling behavior when you see it and disengage.
When trolling is common on a forum it decreases overall engagement and drives away people who would rather not deal with the drama. While the past week has seen many responses to this and a couple other threads, I haven't counted but it seems like overall activity everywhere else is lower. If someone wants to take the time to count this should be verifiable.
