the big difference from other winter solstices, and this last one, is i went bonkers online...
so my belated apologies to those whom i may have thoughtlessly (or thoughtfully) offended.
you're a great bunch for putting up with me at all, and i thankyou, especially mig, who does so much to keep this blog the honey-filled mind-hive it is.
far from 'scrambling lieutenants' mired in 'groupthink', you all are an amazing set of individuals, whose whole is much more even than the sum of its parts.
i iearned my lesson, i think, time will tell. i certainly feel a lot more thick-skinned than then. and a lot less prickly...
i think back to how out of it i was, and it's mystifying and mortifying...what an asshole...
ET is fine as it is, a welcome port in this concatenation of global storms we are facing.
simply the funniest and most concerned blog i've found on the toobs.

Just to say that my remarks were personal, from one member to another, not "editorial", and there was no notion even at the back of my mind of wanting to push you out of ET. Long may you post here, melo.
i couldn't agree more about the internet being an inappropriate medium for 'elaborating' (in the italian sense) some of life's trickier conundrums....
shutting up is the finest of remedies!
so is letting a provocative poke-y comment drop into nothingness, rather than taking the bait and washing out one's own personal neurosis in public.
boundaries are important, even in cyberspace.
i think i have a better measure of detachment these days...so do others here...it's much nicer to come here without conflict, there's too damn much of that in the world already. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
