Have you ever had a fly buzzing you and you try real hard to get away from it but where ever you move too it seems to be right there , in your face ? Every subject every new thread every post no mater where you go you can't shake it. know it all, smart ass answers , a jab here a jab there no matter who's posting or trying to respond. Belittling newbies , just a plain dam know it all. You can be the champion seagoatdeb but I've been run off this site , had my fill. B.W.
Pajarita wrote:Seagoatdeb, I take exception to your posting. I am not offended by it but I do believe you are quite out of line dressing down other posters in a public forum. Besides, I think it's unfair of you because, after re-reading all the postings I could not find a single instance where anybody was condescending to him. 'Sitting on our hands' has nothing to do with condescension, it has to do with 'keeping the peace' due to the way he reacts when people don't agree with him 100%, question or correct him. Personally, I think that our treating a 16 year old with kid gloves and your rushing to defend him are both a mistake because, at his age, he needs to be able to have a conversation/discussion and resolve conflict, if needed, on his own. Plus, given the fact that he does not ever admit to not knowing anything and going by his questionable comprehension of subjects in the past, our coddling him this way is not doing him or his birds any favors. Admitting our ignorance is the first step to a better education - if you think you already know everything, why bother learning?!
And, the New Age Movement is a religion. The followers in the 70's resented anybody calling it that because they were against organized religion but the definition fits because, although it is a hodge-podge mixed bag of Eastern theologies with no formal anything, all the different 'versions' are based on the same two precepts: Evolutionary God and Global Unity. I had a friend in Washington DC back in the early 70's who was a follower -she also believed in the Ouija Board, Tarot, ghosts, demons and all kinds of stuff. And I am talking hard-core, too! She even attended Georgetown University courses in Demonology and Exorcism and her professor was one of the Catholic priests that were consulted for "The Exorcist" movie - how cool is that?!

I don't know, I think that it depends on how much they are interested in a thing as I have seen 16 year olds that know more about some things than I do. I do hope that if he has much interest in this that he will take the time to research it in more depth. Thank you for your thoughts about this seagoatdeb.
