There is much here going on behind the scenes. I had a good chat with Jay, and he said some things that very much resonated with me. He mentioned that
it might be against the TOS agreement to do what we are doing, Little Star (and others). I've had an opportunity to review the TOS and to learn of
the GLF fiasco here that happened a little while ago. I have no intention of being a causitive factor in something like that happening again.
While I wonder if Jay's performance was the optimal choice, I felt his love and concern for his fellow ATS'ers. I too share this love and
respect.
Because of this, I think that what I will do is approach the others on this other discussion group, and ask them that we perform our activities on ATS
rather than build another forum. I don't want to be a burden to ATS. My thoughts were more of convenience than any desire to harm others or to
violate any TOS agreements.
I don't see a problem with this, though I can see some egos being bruised in the process. However, I came here, I associate with ATS'ers and I am
bound by the same rules they are.
I would ask that those distributing the URL to this other group, halt immediately, until we can figure out what is the right path in this regard. I
apolgize for my ignorance of ATS agreements and culture. I am in process of rectifying anything that I am involved in. I am confident that any
discrepancies can be addressed and resolved quickly.
While ATS cannot exert a lot of control over its people, I choose to support them in this matter, having seen what can happen if certain things occur.
I support the basic tenants of the Truth Movement, and share them myself.
About what Jay has done, I know that he did it to protect. In this he was correct. Also, I have a way of monopolizing people's attentions in a way
that, for quite some time, I have known disrupts the vibration of this forum. I think it right for us to occationally have outbursts like this, as it
balances the thread, and it allows people to get the "angries" out and this release is healthy, so long as it is within the bounds of propriety.
I have a desire to continue participating here on ATS. However, I may have to modify my style and adhere to a proper sense of decorum myself. I want
to by a catalyst, not an agent of disruption.
