The other thread was taking too long to load. Hope you don't mind that I started a second thread, Crystllyne!

Deathnomore,

I realize that you and Chrystilyne haven't noticed that you have gotten away from lexigramming Love and have taken it to a more personal level. What has happened is that it takes away from some of the profound and moving essays that each of you has written in different threads.

Your affection for one another has become a reminder of the tale of Narcissus. You even comment on the reflection of one another.

Apparently you are not aware that the Linda Goodman website is one of affection among all of its members and that we respect one another and do not cross that line, which might cause discomfort for others.

With Respect to All,

Thank you both, it had gotten out of hand.

Dalelouise, Donna and Everyone here in linda land,
i was going to post another thread to do this, but i figure i might as well do it here.
I want to TRULY apoligize for ANY uncomfortable feelings that i personally have caused. i realize now that things did get out of hand, although at the time i did not.
it was never my intention to spread uncomfortable feelings, and for this i am deeply deeply embaressed and angry with myself.
i can assure you that it won't happen again.
life is all about learning, i still have a long ways to go! i hope you can fogive me.
Thankyou,
crystllyne

Dear crystllyne
Please do not be angry at yourself. It was a learning experience, perhaps, even for all of us.

May you have Dancing Rainbows of Joy
Donna

Donna,
thankyou so much from the bottom of my heart!

love always,
crystllyne

Dearest Crystilyne,

Donna stated it very well! Every day in every situation it is a learning experience for all of us.

You are accepted as you are, it was obvious that you meant no harm. You have a great deal of wisdom and insight which you have shared in your other threads. I started to write to you in one of them and I lost the post three times. You seem to have more opportunity for expression of yourself here in LindaLand. Perhaps that is why you got a bit carried away. I hope that everyone you know will recognize what a special person you are!

Lovingly,

Dolphin2

I take full responsibility for what happened. Crystllyne is blameless. Let's put it all behind us and strive for Truth and understanding. Peace.

I, for one, think it was quite appropriate for Crystllyne and Deathnomore to talk in a chat room about love that was entitled "Lexigraming LOVE" that Crystllyne created. White Feather says "Get a room, you two," in the other Lexigraming LOVE thread, but that's what Crystllyne did. I've gotten Gregory's response and see the administrator's point of view, and I understand why everyone's getting upset over Deathnomore's and Crystllyne's happiness, but why aren't you people happy for them? I, for one, think Linda Goodman would like to be around people like Crystllyne and Deathnomore.

As far as Deathnomore is concerned, I think poeple like him are what makes society go around. Without peoople like MLK Jr., Ghandi, and others who took a stand for their beliefs to change the face of society, we wouldn't be living in such a great world. People attack Deathnomore as though he's been attacking them, but all I see is somebody who is sharing his beliefs and getting attacked for those beliefs. He has always posted his beliefs and been attacked for these beliefs by others. In fact, he has often apologized when others have attacked him, which I don't think he should have done.

Instead of attacking Deathnomore and Crystllyne for their posts, why don't you celebrate their willingness to share their ideas?

As Pooh says, "Oh, bother..."

DaleLouise,
i can't express to you how grateful i am to you for understanding. yes, i think you probably looked right through me, i do crave the ability to express myself with those whose thoughts are similar, and i did get a bit carried away in my excitement. sometimes my excitement may seem inapropriate.

MoneyBaby,
your post brought me to tears.
i do not want to cause any furthur negative emotions, however there is one last thing i want to express. i do have some reservations as to the way white feather addressed the issue, and i do feel that although we got out of hand, atleast our actions were done out of love (and i mean uni-versal love, i am not speaking of romantic love) the way we were addressed was Not done out of love, rather from reactive (ego) anger. i can think of a million ways in which this could have been addressed in a more positive manner with intentions of creating understanding rather that of creating hurt feelings.
however, i am always willing to admit when i am wrong and change my actions, and i will do so here, despite the way in which it was addressed.
and moneybaby, i too feel that Randall has been unfairly attacked at times. we all deserve respect for our differing opinions, and as we can see from this example, we all deserve a little forgiveness for emotions that we All have as well.
just as Randall deserves forgiveness if he has caused any feelings of negativity in the past,
so will i forgive white feather for the negativity she caused in her approach.
and i will end it at that, for me this matter is now closed.
moneybaby and dalelouise, thankyou again.
love,
crystllyne

Unfortunately, unlike sincere Crystllyne, some people are too good to admit when they are wrong or do so only when they are trying to save face with their admirers/followers, making those apologies have less worth (worthless). Spirit will not be fooled. Ego is death. Only Love is Truth. Peace to all.

I was asked to let this matter drop (as I believe we all were) and that is what I have tried to do. I agreed to do so, but I will break that agreement to say just one thing: I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DO NOT HOLD ANY ILL FEELINGS AGAINST DEATHNOMORE OR CRYSTALLYNE AT ALL! I fully realize how impossible it must be to believe me, and I do not expect anyone to believe me. I did, however, feel the need to express that. Please feel free to hate me or lash out at me. I think (hope) I can take it. If some of us have learned something from this (I have), then maybe it was worth it to have put myself in front of the firing squad by expressing my opinion. I will not say another word about it.

White Feather

I do not hate you White Feather--I Love you. I have been guilty of putting Ego ahead of mys-elf on occasion when trying to make a point, and so I k-now from whence your words sprang. Your arrow was a sharp one and your venom bittersweet. Your message was right, but the manner in which you gave it clouded its Truth. I understand you more than you k-now. You and I have much in common. I forgive you. I was angry for a long time over this one. But Love has won out. I love you, White Feather, and my forgiveness comes with no strings. Let your heavy Heart find solace. It is forgotten. Peace, my friend. Peace.

White Feather =)
i believe you, no ill will, neither will i ever hate you. hate too easily kills understanding,
i guess part of me just felt a little hurt by the way you said the things you said, and it took me a while.
i am glad you have no ill will towards us either, we are all part of eachother.
to hate another is to hate your self.
