I'd appreciate it if you share with me the reason why you use the term "time out."
I'm re-posting this section for emphasis.
I ask the question respectfully and for good reason.
Why did the term "time out" cross your mind?

Why did the term "time out" cross your mind? What is so difficult to understand?
Lauren Johnson Wrote:Magda. What a great idea. Sadly, I need a break from the Josephs/Drago nexus. I say, sadly, because every once in a while, Mr. Charlie comes out with an eye popping, jaw dropping comment. But in between those times, Mr. Charlie, you are like a cat toying with the unfortunate spider that happens to cross the floor. Lauren, like so many, is tired of cat antics. Basta ya. Nunca mas. Over and out. Adios muchachos. The members here are not the assassin of JFK. Stop treating them as if they are. Nor are they dragons or windmills with razor blades on them.

Referring to #145: all your points minus the hyperbolic ones (you know, like with the words, FUCK, etc.) are of course quite valid. My view is that adopting some kind of formal discussion forum to the occasional topic would in fact make it far more informative -- and less caustic.
Time out = giving my brain a rest from the nastiness. I feel nasty and want to stop feeling that way. DPF at times makes me worse.

Run out, borrow a dick, and go fuck yourself.
Do you two have some sort of negative history? Very sad to come home from vacation and see this.
David I have read your posts for years and have never seen this behavior before. Thus my question re past history with CD.?
Sadly,

Jan I totally agree that DPF is worth fighting for. And I appreciate all efforts that went into (attempted) constructive solutions to the sheer insanity of these last few pages.
Has anyone but me noticed that we are losing members and I attribute it to all the hostility.
Where are the grand intentions that were carved out back in 08 when we began this forum?
One can disagree without resort to ugliness.
But, sadly, not everyone.

Today I finished the final rewrite/update of my elderly essay, In the Blossom of Our Sins, for publication in a new collection of essays to be published -- on the Internet, if not elsewhere -- by the estimable John Kelin.
Within the 2013 postscript I've added the following passage:
My re-evaluation of this work some 17 years after its initial publication has been deeply enriched by the historical scholarship and spiritual insights of James W. Douglass.
Today I blanch at my earlier bellicose imagery and attitudes. I have committed myself to the study Satyagraha and the non-violent resistance that "truth force" inspires.
Let's see how long that lasts. For I am an imperfect human being. I cannot claim the right to be thought of as a satyagrahi. Far from it. My blood still boils, my fists still clench, and my righteous indignation still prompts me to savage verbally not only the enemy, but even some well-meaning individuals who, through their arrogance and/or ignorance, cloud all-important issues relating to our shared quests for truth and justice for John Fitzgerald Kennedy and for the millions collaterally damaged by his assassins.
Listen to me. I'm still at it. "Arrogance ... ignorance ... "
Physician, heal thyself.
In that spirit, I take this opportunity to forswear vengeance and the bloodlust that drives it, and to devote my energies currently focused on deep political inquiry to the non-violent pursuit of justice and the truth from which it shall emerge.
Please note that I'm not totally buying what I'm selling. But hey, at least I'm trying -- and looking myself in the eyes.
All of this being stated for the record, Your Lordships, I reserve the rights to rip the bowels out of enemy agents and to refuse to suffer fools.
Sigh ...
This ain't gonna be easy.
