Lacewing, yours and my frustration with Walker (and others) takes us back to the question you asked earlier...

What is the best way to deal with such a thing?
To which I find myself trying to figure out how to respond to him without sinking down into a wallow of the usual tit-for-tat insults...
...(though I am guessing that heated exchanges are way more entertaining to the peanut gallery ).
Yes, I don't want to roll around with such people in the mud either. Sometimes they seem to be asking for people to launch bucketfuls of water to rinse off the mud they're caked in... and I forget and throw the whole bucket at them.
Maybe if enough people give someone the same feedback, that person might reflect... if their consciousness has any access to any light. And if they don't, then it's an opportunity (as many things are) for another one to find value and entertainment in exploring and considering human potential. If we can see the potential of and for our human selves reflected in another... we can feel gratitude or inspiration.

I mean, what in the world can you possibly say to these guys...
Maybe that's where some kind of collective telepathy might come in handy! Aside from that, I cannot image dealing with such impenetrable denseness.
I agree with you, it's hard to know what's best to do sometimes. On this forum, I think the deciding factor is whether I can learn or have fun with it, and if neither... step away. It can ebb and flow with people on this forum, as everything/everyone seems to ebb and flow... and if you can catch the right moment to
throw your bucket at them... it might get through.

I learned long ago that
logic and reason will not work to lift a sleepwalking human up to a slightly more lucid level of wakefulness.
I've noticed that too. So I think I do it to explore logic and reason for myself. To remind myself of how much potential there is in all directions... as is reflected all throughout our world. And although I would love to be as beneficial as I can, I think everything is functioning way beyond me... and working perfectly in a way that surpasses human understanding. I only hope to flow with it and inspire/encourage movement, rather than obstruction and rigidity. There is greater freedom, sight, and potential in movement.

And you do. I find kindness and clarity in your words, and I feel benefited by them. You reflect a brighter potential than some of the other reflections demonstrated on this forum. You are a reminder of
the balance.
Sometimes it may seem that we are dropping seeds on the hard pavement of a parking lot. But... maybe the cosmic wind will pick them up and carry them where they need to go.
Where they can best be used. Maybe the people we are spreading them on, are actually just a load of fertilizer. I have this sense that everything is ultimately perfect, even if it doesn't seem so in our physical garden.
