09:38 am - To whom it may concern:
 You know, I have no idea what's up with this, but apparently someone is reading  athanasios's journal and forwarding links from it. I guess they've been doing it for a long time.
Whoever it is. . . You're just creating drama. If you don't like athanasios, then why are you reading his journal?
A) you know it's just going to make you mad.
B) forwarding things on just stirs the pot and pisses people off.
C) if you think you're being smart/cool, you ain't.
As a Discordian, I'd like to say one final thing:
If you think you're doing Eris a favour, you aren't. Rememeber the idea of destructive and creative chaos? If you don't, re-read your Principia, because you suck at being a Discordian.
===
(from p. 63, Principia Discordia)
To choose order over disorder, or disorder over order, is to accept a trip composed of both the creative and the destructive. But to choose the creative over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed of both order and disorder. To accomplish this, one need only accept creative disorder along with, and equal to, creative order, and also be willing to reject destructive order as an undesirable equal to destructive disorder.

Well, I don't know who it was that forwarded said message to whoever, but I do read athanasios's journal, mainly because I feel we have a lot in common, and because I am a second circle member of AODA, even though I can safely say that we differ on how we feel about ADF. And I had read the original post about Gwynne leaving (although I had already read it on ADF's lists), but I hadn't read the comments until they were pointed out to me. And yes, those comments did concern me, but I take it all with a grain of salt and a wait-and-see attitude. I understand that athanasios is upset about leaving ADF, although I do believe it is the best choice for all involved, given that I think there were irreconcilable differences. And I understand that people often hold grudges when there are separations like that - it happens in cases of divorce all the time. And where better to express one's frustrations than in a journal (although I do agree with you that sometimes PUBLIC journal might not be the best idea, UNLESS one is intending others to see it)? Anyway - lots of words to say that I agree with you, rfunk. Thanks for being so level-headed. I always enjoy your posts. ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/18040833/3132294) | | From: | rfunk |

Wow, someone who actually exemplifies most of my speculation. ;-) Anyway - lots of words to say that I agree with you, rfunk. Thanks for being so level-headed. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks! Whenever I comment on ADF politics I feel like I'm stepping into a minefield, but I hope I can bring a useful perspective into it. |
