Eldon I hope you come back.

He is gonna come back but with a different style. This is pretty much what he told me via email. I also worked out some misunderstandings with him via email

Fierce: It's like this, okay? The Drama Llama was called in to fix this. When he started to feel overwhelmed, 3 alpacioso were called in as back-up. A short time later, all 4 bolted out of poz.com, screaming at the top of their furry lungs.

They headed directly to P.E.T.A. headquarters where they are sitting with attorneys and considering citing us for animal mental abuse and (of course) excessive DRAMA

Very glad to hear that Eldon's planning to come back. Jay
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

Hello My FELLOW Members!!!

I see that there has been a lot of discussion that has been going on here since I took my much needed break. I will review all that has been written and I will create a condensed form of a response for this.

Eldon,

Sometimes we got to step back and take a break from things at times. Usually when you return, you have a better outlook on things. I'm glad to see you are back. I also like that pic, subtle but to the point. ;)

I actually didn't get to this thread until today.  I discovered the forums in October, so never read the creator's earlier posts.  What struck me is the use of 'you' as in 'You preach...you do...your power...your own...YOU were....' 

Sorry, one thing I think is true for anyone reading the posts is that they are coming from people, individual people, people with unique voices, quirks, insights, intelligence, situations, backgrounds which all contribute to the 'family' we have here, members present or absent.  If I read a post, I might p.m. the poster directly, I might post publicly making use of my own experience, which is what I or anyone else has to offer.  I, like everyone else, try to comment somehow, especially if this is an early post from someone who might need some encouragement to continue, or someone who is really in a bad spot.  I can try.  Others can try.  The more voices we have going, the more likely it is that someone's will be the right one.

I find it offensive to be told that there is a 'you' as well as an 'us' and that only the 'us' have 'heart, integrity and common sense.' 

If I, or anyone else, find a thread or poster difficult for me, I choose to pass by it without judgement.  This is the choice that any of us have here.  If someone seems to give his or her entire life story, sorry again, you learn in facilitating to work with what you get.  Again, it's like a family.  Sometimes the father, sometimes the mother, sometimes the brother or sister seems to take over.  But you still return to the table each day.  Win


Winthrop Smith has published three collections of poetry: Ghetto: From The First Five; The Weigh-In: Collected Poems; Skin Check: New York Poems.  The last was published in December 2006.  He has a work-in-progress underway titled Starting Positions.

There Are Many Words To Say

Hello Everyone!

Well, I just read over the “AIDSMEDS Family Values” thread news today and it seems that my life is going to change. I closed my eyes and I began to pray that we all can get together and make this World a better place some day. The tears of Joy streamed down my face as I began to think about just how much I do care about everyone in this place.

If you have never had a real heart-to-heart talk with someone in your life, then you are having one right now as you read this response from deep within me that has been thought about with a Global perspective rather than from a selfish perspective. If you are of the rare few who are content with “life as usual,” and you long to better yourself, your loved ones, and the World at large, then this message was meant just for you.

I ask that you will read this message from the “core” of your inner being without all the drama, negativity, distractions, and illusions which normally “clouds” your better judgment. I cannot promise that this reply will be short as this thread is over (2) two pages long and there has been (107) one hundred and seven replies thus far with (2) two of them being mine. However, I will make my best effort in order to try and keep this as short as possible without leaving out the “meat” of the message. I have formatted this response so that it is easier to read on your eyes.

Sdgirl (Lisa): No sooner than I had the “thought” about your well being and your presence among us…you started this thread and shared your perspective on what is going on here with the group. From what I gather from your response is that you are just as concerned as I when it comes to the “core” values of this group. Is it really necessary for some to continue to make these outlandish attempts to try and change the very good willed nature of someone? Absolutely not. In my opinion it is a disgrace to the ones whom are working on everyone’s behalf.

I too have noticed that there is a lot of “selfish” erratic behavior that is on this site. This statement is not meant to say that you are being restricted to what you can post. However, it is asked that you give another the common courtesy and decency to view both sides of the story rather than a one sided approach to it. If viewed from a one sided perspective, you will never gain an understanding of what the author is truly saying in their post. It will always appear to be unclear to you.

As Lisa has mentioned here, there are other issues that exist in each and every one of our lives other than HIV/AIDS. I will continue to speak here with the unvarnished TRUTH. Just so that you are aware, any variation of the TRUTH is considered to be a LIE. With TRUTH it is our reality. With a LIE it is our life of illusions. Which do you choose to lead your life with? Personally, I have chosen to lead my life with the TRUTH rather than a LIE. It is totally uncomfortable to live a LIE as this is the main reason for this Land of Confusion that we all live in with the here and now.

Not one Human being on this planet is perfect. Not one. We all tend to make mistakes and there is a reason for that. It is for us to “learn” from the mistake and apply it to our next experience in this life so that we can “improve” our lives in more ways than one. It is our actions which dictate HOW all aspects of our lives are to turn out. So when someone comes along into your life and tries to lend a helping hand to you, instead of looking at it as if: “Who the f**k is he/she to tell me what I should do?” Instead, look at it as a “learning” experience that can help you with your situation in your life.

As I continue to move forward here with my response, there are other issues that come to “surface” inside of my mind about the situation at hand. There is a major issue with “avoidance” here with the group. The majority of the time there is either a “justification” for certain behaviors and there is the famous “blame” game that is going on rather than the person looking at themselves. This issue is actually (5) five pages that I have condensed into a few paragraphs. Whether you want to “accept” this or not, it is the TRUTH/reality. Any variation of the TRUTH is considered a LIE/illusion.

You see, there is a point in our time when an issue that is “avoided” for a certain period of time reaches its point where it needs to be addressed and dealt with in order to “clear” up the issue in order to move forward in this life. When there is a car accident, traffic gets backed up for miles while delaying the commuters in order to get to their certain destination. UNTIL the accident scene is dealt with and “cleared” up, everyone is stuck in traffic with frustrating delays.

Let’s “clear” this personality accident up right now once and for all so that we all can continue in our forward motion in order to get to our certain destinations in this life. You see, there is a “cause” for this inappropriate erratic negative behavior. With this “cause” there is and “effect” from this. The “effect” is a major traffic delay with our forward motion in this life. This is…

Due to your hidden fears and inner anxieties (past and present)
Due to your justification of the erratic negative behavior
Due to your negative / skeptical attitudes about change
Due to your “That’s the way I am” attitudes
Due to your probable cause of procrastination
Due to your Over- Analyzing and intellectualizing
Due to your current morals and religions
Due to your hidden insecurities

What this means is that the “cause” for this certain behavior is a classic “resistance to change”. You are afraid of the “unknown” and it is “uncomfortable” when you move out of your “comfort zone”. I have some more news to share with you, until you do, change is less likely to happen. You need to consider starting taking action instead of reacting. This is a reality. I want you to HONESTLY ask yourself this question:

“What is it that I get out of reacting with this negative erratic behavior?”

Stop and really think about it. (this may not apply to everyone). I am already one page (3) three of my MS Word document here and I have not even addressed the other replies as of yet. It is through this behavior that you are only hurting yourself in the long run indirectly. Negativity = Unhealthy Thinking. Period.

Tucsonwoody: You are SPOT ON when it comes to viewing (my perspective) on both sides of the issue. This is called a Global perspective. When you “learn” how to use it, it is empowering. You have also indicated the “avoidance” issue. This is confirmation to my statement above.

Matty.The.Dammed: Oy mate. It is good to see you here and I value your support with this topic that has been discussed. Eldon is not a person that is to be managed. That is a LIE/illusion. You also pointed out that this is a classical school yard bullying that has taken place. The principal is now here with his paddle to do some spanking.

Lydgate:WHY? Because indirectly and deep within at the “core” of our very being, we ARE asking for HELP and with all of the negativity going on, there has been a certain “fear” that has been created for someone to take on the role in order to make this a better place. They are “afraid” that they will get “bullied” by someone. They may not admit it openly but that is the TRUTH/reality.

Alex: Let me clarify something with you, there is STRENGHTH in numbers. We are ALL a part of this epidemic and if we continue to keep our mouth shut and do not SAY anything to let our voices be heard, then we will be S.O.L. To everyone here, believe it or not, YOUR VOICE counts and it has its place in our very struggle here with HIV/AIDS. If you perceive otherwise, it is a LIE/illusion. This is the TRUTH/reality. Each VOICE is worth its weight in gold bars from Fort Knox.

Matty.The.Dammed: You have eloquently stated much of the goings here as I want to clarify that I DO have another side to me which is not nice at all. It is shrewd and it is harsh and it can get down right dirty. However, I choose not to even go there with me as it does not make any sense whatsoever to dwell in that arena as it takes away from my very essence of me. It is unhealthy and it leads to unhealthy thinking. In this CAUSE we all have, the negativity is NOT going to cut it. Negativity breeds a false reality….a LIE/illusion. There is nothing that can get done effectively if it is a LIE/illusion because it is not real.

I acknowledge everyone that has stood by me with our same cause as we can get something done together. There are many BENEFITS that can be achieved through our efforts together. I thank you for your kind words and your support.

I am a bit conscious right now because I am now on page (4) four of my document on Reply#8 of many and I will try to highlight the rest of the replies from this point.

Dachshund/Hal: Your public apology has been accepted. I need you and I value every bit of your opinions that you can muster up with. Do you hear me?

Mike: Sex, Porn, politics, religion is a major distraction for all of us. We need to focus our energies on the very issues that need to be addressed with some down right SOLUTIONS. Our “values” has a lot to do with this as it is a part of our very foundation.

Daniel: You are right. No one is going to like each other. In this case, either you are for me or you are against me. But, how can you be against me if I am for you? Where is the sense in that?

ACinKC: Believe it or not, your humor keeps a good balance here on the forums. Sometimes it can get too serious and we all need to have that point where we lighten up on this.

Alex: True enough I am working on being less long-winded. The reflection is in the responses given back to each person individually. 

Matty.The.Dammed:Hey mate, I do agree that the open season is permanently closed. No more hunting licenses shall be issued and all others shall be revoked.

Boo: From a fellow goat just as well, I do agree that there shall be disagreements during a conversation. However, when it is a topic that effects ALL of us, then we need to think SOLUTION rather than disagreement.

DavidNC: I do admit that it is a bit difficult to address a wide variety of perspectives in order to get your point across. Most of the time it is misunderstood and taken out of its original context. However, would you rather me voice and illusion verses a reality? I choose a reality. I have a list of questions that I have relating to HIV/AIDS issues that exist in our society today. Where else can I ASK the question?

If a series of questions are asked at the same time, then it is bound to cause confusion to the reader. It would be more effective in order to address each question individually in order to retain the focus on that particular question. Thus, more separate posts.

Jeromy: You are SPOT ON young man. The way my posts appear. Did you just read that? It all falls back into the perspective category. It is HOW you see it or HOW you are LOOKING at it. If you read with a closed minded approach then you will have a close minded perspective. If you read with a open minded perspective, then you will have an open minded perspective. 1+1=2 for eternity!

Jack: I was not in Montreal but I did go to Houston a few times.

Jan: You stated it beautifully. Every member deserves RESPECT and deserves to be HEARD. 100% Agreement here. This also applies in other areas of our lives.

Philly267: This is your confirmation. There ARE other issues that need to be dealt with. With this form of erratic behaviors is a blatant excuse for displaced anger, resentment and mainly avoidance through hidden inner fears of inner anxiety.

Ray: I have kept it simple and I will continue to do so. The best way to address the family is on a individual basis in order to acknowledge what they have said. I do read and listen to them.

The Ignore Button: A neat little feature if you care to use it. However, you are doing yourself an injustice by doing so. There is no way under the Sun that you can understand the whole story if you do not read all of its content. It is impossible. YOU WILL MISS SOMETHING. By doing so, this will alter your perception which leads to a false reality. If you feathers get ruffled, take a step back and ask yourself WHY?

Mike89406: I will continue to be uplifting and positive to the ones whom wish to receive it. LOOK OUT here comes a big wave of Positive Energy! Catch it!

Razorbill: its not about Matty, it is about us.

Doug: you are correct, I am doing what I can in order to make order out of chaos. This should be a comfortable environment in order to let it all hang out and to have someone to listen to you and to give you some good constructive feedback. What better resource than from our own?

David and Iggy: Exactly, what gives when it comes to certain issues here?

I’m going to cut it off here with the rest of the responses. I do appreciate the ones whom have voiced their support with me. In summary, let us all cut out the fighting here and the negativity and band together as a group and implement our talents in order to make a difference that will have a positive effect for all of us.

Hmmm.. Page (6) six in Word. This is what happens if you take a week off and you are being discussed. I trust that this has clarified any personality differences that exist here on this forum.

Highlights:

1.   What you perceive is HOW it is looked at.
2.   Truth = Reality
3.   LIE = Illusions
4.   Release your inner fears and anxieties and feel comfortable
5.   We all need each other in more ways than one
6.   Instead of avoiding the issues focus on a solution

I hereby designate this saying as our theme for this Year of 2007 with the AIDSMEDS Group:

“Together We Can Bring Good Things To Life”

We Hold The Keys To Many Solutions

Hey Timmy!

You see, when a plane is taxing for a landing, it goes through a number of different calcualtions in the computer in order to make a precise landing. Based on those calculations the navigatior of the airplane understands the variables that exist in order to land that plane on the ground safely.

Hey Alex,

With every single letter that you type, there is an "intent" from what I read, I do not like the "intent" of it.

So tell me here. Am I applying for some kind of job here? What is it with this constant scrutiny? I am fully aware of the length of my reply as it deems necessary with the thread's nature. Did you not read where I said that any variation of the truth/reality is a LIE/illusion? If not, read it again.

When a message needs to get delivered, it gets delivered with all of its contents.

When I am giving a personal reply to each one, it is just that PERSONAL. I take it PERSONAL. I choose to take it PERSONAL. I choose reality over Illusion.

Also, since when are there limitations for starting threads?

I am not to be managed.

I will take on suggestion.

I am tired of repeating myself.


BTW - There Is no such thing as can't.

This is why I love Joseph....he makes me laugh out loud.   I am sitting here howling at the screen (between barks with this cough.....sounds like the dog pound in here!)

I am tired of repeating myself.

 
                                "Will you walk a little faster?" said a
                                whiting to a snail
                                "There's a porpoise close behind us, and
                                he's treading on my tail
                                See how eagerly the lobsters and the
                                turtles all advance!
                                They are waiting on the shingle--will
                                you come and join the dance?
                                Will you, won't you, will you, won't
                                you, will you join the dance?
                                Will you, won't you, will you, won't
                                you, won't you join the dance?

                               "You can really have no notion how
                                delightful it will be
                                When they take us up and throw us
                                with the lobsters out to sea!"
                                But the snail replied 'Too far, too far!'
                                and gave a look askance--
                                Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but
                                he would not join the dance
                                Would not, could not, would not, could
                                not, would not join the dance
                                Would not, could not, would not, could
                                not, could not join the dance.

                                "What matters it how far we go?" his
                                scaly friend replied
                                "There's another shore, you know, upon
                                the other side.
                                The further off from England the
                                nearer is to France---
                                Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but
                                come and join the dance.
                                Will you, won't you, will you, won't
                                you, will you join the dance?
                                Will you, won't you, will you, won't
                                you, won't you join the dance?

Hey Philly,

That is cool. It is how you look at it. If it is looked at in a certain way then that is how it is going to be perceived.

(2) Two Approches:

Open Minded Approach
Closed Minded Approach

Either one gets chosen by the reader.

Three words for you Eldon: READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS - BRUSH UP ON THEM

There aren't limitations - The fact is polite rational requests were made in the context of you keeping your new threads CLEAR

The new one called Solutions
LACKS CLARITY  

What don't YOU understand?



Hey Alex,

With every single letter that you type, there is an "intent" from what I read, I do not like the "intent" of it.

So tell me here. Am I applying for some kind of job here? What is it with this constant scrutiny? I am fully aware of the length of my reply as it deems necessary with the thread's nature. Did you not read where I said that any variation of the truth/reality is a LIE/illusion? If not, read it again.

When a message needs to get delivered, it gets delivered with all of its contents.

When I am giving a personal reply to each one, it is just that PERSONAL. I take it PERSONAL. I choose to take it PERSONAL. I choose reality over Illusion.

Also, since when are there limitations for starting threads?

I am not to be managed.

I will take on suggestion.

I am tired of repeating myself.


BTW - There Is no such thing as can't.

I don't want to say it, because it's an ugly word to hear.  Its an ugly word to use when speaking of someone you like and care about.

Dimentia.

I try not to treat anyone poorly (ever since I asked GWEN VERDON to kindly get the fuck out of my way - on the escalator at Liza's opening of Victor Victoria) especially if they are sick.  I don't know the history that everyone has on this thread, and it sounds like there's some history that not even the drama llama's mama can contain.

Please treat others as you wish to be treated, and consider from where it is that they are coming.

That's your perception. Do not say with finality what my intent is. You're not a mind reader. I am able to parse out the individual points and address each with clarity, so don't try to make this a wholesale character assassination of ME

Hey Alex,

Where you there when it was created? No. In the beginning it was clear. As time passed it became unclear.

The statement made was clear. I said what I had to say. Period.

You guys, enough already. This is certainly not "moving on." What's with all the rapid-fire responses, brief and off-the-cuff and impassioned (I almost said enflamed)? Time out, please.
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

This is why I smoke cigarettes.

Nicotine is calming.  So... very... calming. 

Plus, a smoke break affords one a couple minutes away from the computer...
