in answer to pa's question, which is the right question, i would briefly say that my experience on the forum has been educational, provocative, inspiring, and motivating.
it's also been an interesting and heartwarming indulgence into distance-community.
to go along with that, there have surfaced these recurring bouts of seemingly unhealable antagonisms that reach beyond the issues at stake and into the interpersonal.
at times i think i would rather email one another and stay in touch with whomever wants to be in touch on a personal level rather than risk further descent into what i percieve as unnecessary and confusing clouds of conflict.
my positions have been clearly put forth in numerous posts re: what I think the solution and problem is and I know i can't be ALL right but i know i'm not ALL wrong either.
my feeling at this point is this: for the third time i believe, there has developed this dynamic whereby we find pjk is at the center of some serious contention...i am not saying he is the CAUSE but certainly it can be proven that he is at the center of it...and a great amount of energy and time is spent by numerous forum participants attemtping to address, confront, remedy, argue, etc and like a puff of smoke pjk disappears and we are left to move on with discussions as if the flower has not bloomed in winter- that is, how can one ignore?
i'm personally feeling betrayed. not by any one person in particular, but by the process perhaps. i tend to take things too personally, i know, but i am what i am.
before i would tune out the voy, as pjk apparently does from time to time at critical junctures of dialogue, i would shut it down. i feel the responsibility of guardianship over its health as i previously stated.
it's not a threat, just my feelings that i need to seriously consider. i am though one vote among five [i am NOT calling for a vote]
