Hello, BiaS.

First off, as a general rule we frown on threads that begin with a link and a nod. It helps stimulate discussion if you, y'know, talk about what's in the link and why the rest of us might want to copy and paste it.

Secondly, I seem to recall some amount of difficulty between you and some other members of our board on another message board. What happens on other boards wouldn't really concern me as a mod of this board except A) There were some serious accusations hurled against members of this board by you, B) To the best of my understanding, threats have been made by you toward some of the current members of this board, and C) To the best of my knowledge, these issues have not been addressed by you and the parties concerned. I realize this is, in one sense, none of my business. In my capacity as a moderator, however, it is very much a concern for me.

In short, I would be saddened if your presence here were to be a toxic one and doubly saddened if you drove away posters who bring so much of worth to the Temple.

I suppose it would be terrible, e-worm, if you, and other Barb-mods, decided that whatever occult practices a board member was into were so insane that hell, and hell alone would be their reward, and that consequently, any references to related activities would have to be banned.

I have to say this particular bout of gratuitous self-promotion does seem ever so slightly misjudged.

Those unfamiliar with the events surrounding the Ultraculture™ debacle may wish to scope out the trainwreck here. Briefly, BiaS/Jason Louv made several inflammatory statements about the religion of Vodoun and the Lwa, statements which I have no qualms about labelling as hate speech. He has never retracted these statements.

BiaS, I cannot believe that you have got the brass neck to come round here plugging a video of yourself after what you've done. You're evidently a very troubled and confused person who suffered a serious emotional breakdown, and who has been most unlucky in his choice of magical collegues. You are also someone who has made some deeply bigoted statements elsewhere on the net, and who has effectively libelled some of the other posters here. I would invite you to either offer some kind of retraction and apology or to "close the connectors" and follow your friend and collegue Epop the Hel away from this forum. You are not welcome here.

Oh, and for the umpteenth time, pull my article from your POS journal. I don't wish to be associated with bigots. Ta.

Even in light of our previous relationship, Jason, I agree with what Mordant just said. What you've said about other people and other spiritual paths isn't value neutral or simply a "strong opinion". It's very hurtful stuff.

I assume your posting in a "trickster" sort of vein. It's kind of annoying, but well, at least you're laughing. Anyway, I hope you sort your shit out at some stage in the future.

I was very glad to see eworm's well presented and thought out mod hat response to the original post. It seemed to me to be presenting a solid community standard on kinds of posts and treatment of members of the community.
I believe the Temple of all places needs to have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech and personal threats.

>after what you've done

Yep. I told the truth. Enjoy academia, kids.

Bye.

Ah, the voice of maturity.

Sorry to see you go, Dad.

The implication that everyone here who disagreed with you is either a) not brave enough to face the truth (unlike your brave self) or b) complicit in some kind of lie (unlike your honest self). And that Barbelith is full of practitioners that like reading books and using long words but don't actually practice.

I suppose, if you were being kind (which I imagine you mostly are, seeing as you're all mature and Dad-like), you'd simply argue that all those poor souls that took a position counter to your own were simply deluded or misled (by demons or their own bookworm ignorance).

Another way of reading this situation is that you're a rather odd individual who is labouring under the mistaken misapprenhension that posting a video of yourself to a forum where you thoroughly burnt all your bridges is a good idea.

Frankly, mate, there's a word for that, and it begins with "fucking" and ends with "weird".
