That's a good idea to consider. I had noticed that there were two "groups" on DoD, and was surprised that the friction happened so fast, but...someone who finds themselves belonging to a group of people who take pride in their ability to not care about anything, and joy in ...it sets off a warning bell. I mean, I'm not going to be innocent and say oh no it shouldn't be that way, or that I'm surprised it happens. But I can make a concious decision who I want to associate myself with.
I prefer people who are somewhere in between sensitive to everything and not caring about anything.
Sweetie, I hope you do leave there. I can't follow the link - I really don't ever want to go there. But I heard about it. What a terrible thing. *ill*
Here's the koan -
There once was a great warrior who traveled to the top of a Mountain to sit zazen with his Master. After a long time he said, “I want to travel back down into the World, I want to slay the Demon who resides in the hearts of some Men
( ... )
I'm just going to pop in here randomly and say how appropriate I think that story is for the situation.
DoD just had so many things that rubbed me the wrong way, I think it was inevitable that one would cause me to want to leave. I just don't get apathy, mockery or playing games with other people. That's never been my scene.
Oh well. At least I won't be missed as a 'prominent' member.
Haha, it's not worth it believe me. There's a lot of insanity and denial from many members of the board. Not only is it disgusting, it's also disturbing.
It's cool, I think I understand where you're coming from. :/ If had been something that had hit you personally, you might see it differently, and I don't even mean that in a derogatory way. The fact that you're conflicted is a lot more admirable than anyone who just doesn't care and thinks this all was funny.

I can't thank you enough, Zagzagel. It's left me something to ponder, and is exactly what I needed. How did you know? :)
I honestly hope I never go back, even now, after I've calmed down a bit.

Looks like it's winding down, though.
I don't want to leave DoD.. some of it has been really fun.. yet. I don't know.
Maybe I am just feeling selfish and I want to make fun of people? ._.
