166. Old FOF - September 7, 2009
“…..
Thinking on this – and your posts reinforce – that there have been many many members over the years who experienced psychological breakdowns. Think so because I knew of several – had to have been much wider than my narrow personal vantage. And you add another.
Also, it’s like from the lesson-plan for sociopathy – we were collectively encouraged to ignore or not register too deeply the physical or mental sufferings and breakdowns of our fellow members. Almost see them as moral failings.
A cast member goes down – and is quietly dragged off stage with a hook from a mostly unseen source. All the other players taught to ignore unpleasantness of the suffering of the “weak” one.
Personally, I’ve come to especially despise the phrase “some come to eat; some come to be eaten.” A central justification for not looking out for the welfare of the vulnerable.”
Isn’t it fascinating Old FOF how the mind works? You understand the mechanisms so well and yet a couple of weeks ago you did exactly what you’re describing, to me! “A sparrow with a broken wing” “OUT!” “Off with her head” “She’s damaged!” A damaged machine Old FOF?
James complains because the use of one word like “student” is expressed but you laid out the whole of the Fellowship agenda with the complete vocabulary and no one even looked! Don’t you find it fascinating? And as some here often say: frightening? So many of you saw but kept quiet, like you did in the Fellowship?
Old FOF: “Also, it’s like from the lesson-plan for sociopathy – we were collectively encouraged to ignore or not register too deeply the physical or mental sufferings and breakdowns of our fellow members. Almost see them as moral failings.”
Has it been two years since you’ve avoided to question anyone when I get insulted? Or when five or six bloggers gang up to attack me personally while the rest keep dead quiet in the hope that it’ll run its course? 007 did it for the first time and retrieved the support just as fast as if anyone had ever stopped him from expressing the same things Ames was saying in a perfectly normal conversation!

“The Sparrow with a broken wing by chance? Or the damaged machine better?”
Ols FOF: Personally, I’ve come to especially despise the phrase “some come to eat; some come to be eaten.” A central justification for not looking out for the welfare of the vulnerable.”
And yet weren’t you just “eating me up, disappearing me feeling completely justified” no matter how much you despise it? Some of you say you’re still hurting after thirty years but you expect me to be completely healed in two, running around with a smile and show the wonders of how I’ve transformed the experience so that you allow me to write further?

I needed to put those things up and couldn’t find a better place to do it than on a blog so there it is if you wish to see them. Whether you read them or not does not mean they won’t be there for the record. Everything is known sooner or later, especially by one’s self no matter how many people one gets rid of to try to avoid it.
There’s also a message for Josiane if you care to look at it.
I wish you well. It’s been good to rest. The things that are happening here are happening everywhere. Seeing the darkness in our lives can no longer be avoided and the sooner we start dealing with it and finding solutions, the better.
Nigel,
It's great not to rant and rave and gradually separate from the personalities of the blog but from there to adapt myself to the comfort that you're so willing to sell your soul for, as long as they don't throw you out, I'm further away than ever!
The stories are good, I agree, but show me one post in which I muffled anyone so that they wouldn't tell them! On the contrary, I've been speaking out for the value of the Public Square from the beginning but I guess it takes time to hear!
I wish you well and hope they never throw you out!
