I see that 9thbody/munificent is busy filling up the forums with garbage again. What is the point of banning her if you allow her to return? This is pointedly ridiculous.

I am of the opinion that posters such as 9thbody bring out the worst in others as well (myself included) because they force us to feel we must be prepared to be quite guarded and defensive every time we post. I know I have observed the entire climate change at Curezone. While 9thbody was "banned" I saw clearly a climate of trust and genuine compassion again begin to develop on curezone.

I will not be around as long as 9thbody/munificent/primal is on the site. I know there are others who feel the same way. I do not wish for this to come across as a threat; certainly my absense on Curezone is not much of a loss at this point. But as someone who has enjoyed visiting Curezone for many years now I can say, it is not the place it was, you have lost many of your best members and "banning" someone clearly means nothing.

I completely agree with Owen. There's no point in being here anymore.

Best wishes,
Janaki

I understand Spirit's intent...

In short, it is time for the moderators and posters to do a little work. If the moderators and poster do, and now we have the support of the Webmaster, the moderators should not fear banishing posters that break the rules. I believe there will be less and less trouble as time goes on if the moderators will help the Webmaster in this effort. What particular post broke the rules? If you have a particular problem with a particular post and the poster has a history of breaking the rules then by all means, let's do the healthy thing for the growing family that is CureZone. Help us to find the particular post that broke the rules. Rule breakers may come back again and again and there really is no stopping them but if they do and the moderators and posters in CureZone do their part then things can change. Spirit said there would be no more "mister nice guy" but the reality is that if you can't stop them from coming back, being a nice guy may be the only option left. I am sure Spirit can not do it all. In the experiment that is the internet, the larger web is the macrocosm of the global village and CureZone in the microcosm of that same village. Ultimately we are all responsible for making sure that our home stays free of abuse. If you see a particular post that does not follow the rules then liberally use the alert button. In this way, we may be able to at least reduce the abuse to a minimum. If the children in your neighborhood want to act abusive, I highly recommend using that Alert button. That is what it is for.

Luke 17:4


If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying,'I repent,' you shall forgive him." (WEB)

And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. (ASV)

And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness. (BBE)

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times should return to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him. (DBY)

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. (KJV)

And if he shall trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day shall turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. (WBS)

and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him." (WEY)

and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.' (YLT)

i know i am not alone in saying that owen writes some of the most beautiful and informative posts here on CZ, losing him would be tragic and many would suffer from not having his insight, depth of character, and compassion be a part of this amazing thing called curezone. if he has a problem then we should listen.

webmaster - please address his concerns.

thank you,
