Rev. sent me what I consider a quite rude request to re- join us. I had to laugh didn't even bother to reply with a message. Here's the basics:
Just because he had 20 years on me I not as intelligent as he is. I'm sorry but there are plenty of people out there (I'm in my late 30's) who don't need to even try hard to show me that I do have more intelligence than they do. At the same time I do not show them disrespect and treat them like a person equal to me.
He graduated BPI making himself his own pedestal to talk down to me in this plea for re-in statement. I mean, he really tried the I'm "high and mighty" approach with me. After sentence #7 I just hit deny without reading any further.
Also faulting me for not using my real picture or name. So to set that straight here. I do not use or have in my album any real pictures of me or my kids simply because of a domestic violence issue close to 7 years ago when I got myself and my kids away from my x and we have a current restraining order against him. My name is my craft name that is what I use all over the net for the same reasons. But he decided that I was unworthy because I couldn't use my real name or pic.
Don't worry, Rev isn't coming back!!!

Re: Just to let you guys know..
Fri, May 11, 2007 - 4:21 PMYou did the right thing.
The REV always felt very revved up on himself to me and has successfully created his own alienation. It was like he wasn't looking for a forum to exchange ideas as much as a congregation of sheep to follow his example. I can understand his position seeing how the BPI programs he swallowed were framed in a strong hierarchical context. I'm just glad he's not around here jamming the communication lines with those kinds of one-up, one-down posturings.

I don't think you owe anyone an explanation as to why you don't post your real name or your picture. There are a variety of reasons why someone wouldn't and unless they are some nasty troll, I don't see it as being an issue.
Blessings,

Re: Just to let you guys know..
Sat, May 12, 2007 - 12:38 PMHopefully he will learn. I have heard it from others that I'm quite scary when angry whether in person or on the net. My smackdown is frightening at best. Though people may mock it, they back down eventually. I'm personally glad you did what you did amethyst. You are also protecting your privacy by not revealing your real name, in particular if you had the issue you did. I'm sorry to hear the whole thing about the rev. though. I thought titles like that were earned.
