Culling Members

On this forum I am
Admin
Malcolm

Linda

I need several aliases in order to run the forum effectively

Understand Malcolm but surely if I were to befriend Linda and send private email and confide in you is that not a bit sneaky. I am pleased you have been transparent though as I thought for sometime this was the case.

I have just tried  to recruit a member I knew from another forum. Finally  we managed to contact via private emails . It appears the management if they see a link in your email delete it. One forum owner I temporary modded for told the board he could read emails. 

Unfortunately for him most of us were female and he had his ears boxed 

I also understand emails have to be stored due to content and threats, which I agree but if a mod were to dislike you would be then be  unresponsive to reports  from yourself. 

Not a critism of Murgatroyds as you have always been open.

Only Malcolm and Admin have posted here....the others have not posted anything and are sleeping 'members', just used for me to log in as an ordinary member to view the forum format as an ordinary member would nothing  sinister or underhand, all forum Admins have aliases....Azz has two or three !

Thanks Malcolm makes things a lot clearer. Anyway Wales in on a good game of rugger to unfold.

Wales! Wales!  ::

I had completely forgotten I had joined a forum and had a message today as follows.

Members who have not logged in this year have been removed from our site.

This means that you may have lost some 'Friends' from your profile page and other areas of the site.

It does also mean that as you browse our site and interact with members they are far more likely to reply :)


I do find the number of members who just sit in the background odd as I thought a forum was to chat to other member.


Anyone have thoughts 

I had this email from them too. I only log in there to retrieve the odd message from a 'friend' ... otherwise, I find that site pretty boring

Funnily enough I never had problems there. I was relatively  new to forums oh yes and another American site no longer part of that either.

I just feel safer if people stuck to their user name. My ex posed as a women. I sussed him as I recognised his  writing style.

I tried it back in the 1960's Goldie but it didn't do anything for me so I tried Peyote cactus. That was much more fun! :;smile:

The Malaysians use some plant thing as well and I think the Indians sprinkle an exliar in their food. 

I first heard about Peyote in Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception".  My flatmate and I were very scientific about our experiments. Only one of us at a time would imbibe the other looked after him in case, and we taped the comments. I still have my transcript..

oerr CM that sounds like our invitation for a sharing occasion ??

:;smile: Well why not Davo - it was a long time ago! It took about 3/4 of an hour all recorded on one of those things with miles of tape going from one wheel to another- remember them? :;smile: 




The parrot closes his one good eye

He is the blue of sapphire

From deep inside the stone

Where the light starts.



(Pause)

It almost hurts to look at him

His colour is his thing

He is nothing else



(Pause)

There is nothing but the window

And the parrot and his blue

No room-No people

But beautiful faces

I love you



(Pause)



I can see so far- so far

Seeing is happiness on a cloud

My cloud is soft and blue

With spectrum edges



(Long pause)



People-people

Way down below my blue cloud

All looking up

All slack jawed



(Pause)



I can see so clearly

I can recognise them almost every one

They see me

But they don’t know me

I am their sun

So bright

I hang in their sky

Smiling to them

Closer, closer



(Pause)



They are dead I know

And I cry for them

I can feel tears on my face

The world cries -

So many tears



(Pause)



Sparkle…..sparkle

I know your face

I love you

You are happy like a lover

Oh you’re beautiful to see with



(Pause)



The evil fades

By smiling at it

It is green and is nothing

I smile- I love you, evil

Even you

It melts to oil bubble colours

Stretch and squeeze

Stretch and squeeze

(Pause)



I wish I was a soap bubble

And I am

My feet and my hands

I can’t see

But I feel the inside

Of the bubble

It is soft but strong



Oh God oh Ottawa

It’s a long way down

I’m not here am I

Worry? No!



(Long pause)



I know where I am

But my senses don’t

I smile and say I love you

I’m not afraid

Not now because I know.

a christian doctor once quoted that taking drugs was an attempt to get back to God - sounds like it up there!

I pop in to the 5 forums I belong to every day and at intervals, like when I'm having a coffee. I don't do word games or puzzles but that's just me, I like to interact with people so unless I have something to post, I flick through in case there's a topic of interest, but I'm usually short of time. 
Things are a bit different at the moment as I have got gout in my left knee. Very nasty so I can sit at my computer and harass you all!

Could it be too much port and pheasant???

Dont you mean  Poet and Peasant Andsome??
