  • Splitting the newsgroup

    Question:

    Now there IS an interesting thought. The call for moderators has been going on for the last week now.  I posted an URL for the planning forum for alt.religion.wicca.moderated earlier last week. For any that missed it, its: http://server.com/WebApps/discussion.cgi?unique=1438225 I’ll be reposting it again soon. If RBB would like to be one of the moderators for the new group, she has simply to post a note on the message board.  That goes for anyone else who would like to as well.  Remeber, moderating a newsgroup is a serious responsibility that takes work and *time*. namaste, Shiva – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Personally.. I’m getting tired of wading through all the garbage here.. & unfortunately I don’t have a newsgroup browser that  has the killfiles.. i would love to see a moderated newsgroup for wicca in general… What do you define as garbage here?  It is unfortunate that you are close minded. I would love Raven BlackBane to be the General of a moderated newsgroup for Wicca.  The more we try to resist chaos, the more chaos will flood us.  Don’t resist.  Let go and flow with the river of fate. A religion such as Wicca that can’t take criticism from opponents such as Raven BlackBane, is not a religion that is confident and secure.  That religion is doomed. You as a follower of that religion are doomed.

    It is my wish that you destroy each other. So yes. Ren and Ren will destroy themselves. And now the plot thickens.

    Oh my. The secret is all but out.Ren set up my Internet account. Which one do you think I am? Jesse, Tales1n, Raine, or Sam? Or am I Ishtar, SheDragon, Emma, maybe PanMan! Why don’t you taste my pussy and find out? My spies tell me that you haven’t had sex in years, DragonLadyOCD. Oh wait. You are my spy. You told me that when I pretended to be your friend. Remember? I drain you down now. You’re nothing but a husk now. Weak and ready to die now. Lay your head down.

      And Have a good nap now.  When you wake up, drink some herbal tea (marigold if you have it) and by Goddess, smell the flowers!  Its a beautiful day.  Hugging trees is always a good way to replenish your energy , no matter how ‘new-age, hippy’ it sounds o) namaste, Shiva

    - Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’ve noticed that many of the discussions on alt.religion.wicca center around Wiccan ethics and Wiccan structures of morality.  Unfortunately, many flaming posts, hateful posts, and completely off-topic posts manage to worm their way in. I’m proposing that a new newsgroup be created: alt.religion.wicca.ethics This newsgroup would be a place for Wiccans (and like minded Pagans) to discuss this particular aspect of our theology.  I’m posting this message to get a few opinions. 1.  Is there need for a newsgroup specifically for this subject? 2.  If so, would it be more beneficial to have a moderated group? 3.  Does anyone have any other suggestions about split-off groups? 4.  How do people feel about this news group the way it is now (number of posts, message content, etc.)? Any input would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond to sender as well as group.  The responses recieved will be placed in a special file used to justify the newgroup.  If you would rather your reply not be logged in this file, please mention that in your reply. Namaste, Shiva

    1. I don’t think that a new newsgroup is nessesary. The ammount of posts on ARW is not really /that/ high if one ignores/killfiles the troll posts. 2. If a new group is created, moderation might be nice to kill the trolls, but I, for one, wouldn’t want to be the moderator. :) 3. Nope 4. As I stated above, I think the newsgroup is just great the way it is, if one ignores the trolls. — FireFlash http://www.netrax.net/~fireflash/ I am Valdez of the Clan Valdez. There Can Be Only Juan!

    I think that it may be nice to have a newsgroup that civilized discussion can be held on.  I am all for the new group.  I think that some people in this NG need to grow up and for those that wish to seek answers to there questions, and provide help to others should have there own group aurora

    Please note the "hail BlackBane" crud… Wicca.  The more we try to resist chaos, the more chaos will flood us.  Don’t

                                                           ^^^^^Another of Ren’s big hang-ups.  He’s always talking about chaos this and chaos that…  Not that anyone who likes chaos is Ren, but of course Ren takes it to the extreme… resist.  Let go and flow with the river of fate. A religion such as Wicca that can’t take criticism from opponents such as Raven BlackBane, is not a religion that is confident and secure.

    Got no problem with criticism.  But I did draw the line when Timmy, et al. decided to tell newbies to commit suicide.  Truly more rubbish from Ren…  That religion is doomed. You as a follower of that religion are doomed.

    recruit new members from this NG for his (bleh!) Gothic Wicca.  Now don’t you find it a trifle odd that someone who claims to be someone other than Ren would post just *like* Ren?  Oh, and here’s something one of *my* spies picked up on this 3Ambers character… [goodnet.com] Username: inamra                   In Real Life: rennie poo Plan: 3Ambers Amber D. ~ GirlFriend Amber H. ~ Roommate Amber S. ~ OnlineFriend — So what if I flame.  Would you expect any less from a dragon? ;-) http://www.neto.com/wildcard – My own personal web page with tons of                                links.
