ESMB is reduced to a Gossip Rag

[I told you I was trouble]

All is well! I've located a group where thinkers (and nutters) are made welcome to discuss all things 'spiritual' ... have fun Vinnie (you too Rog).

What I've noticed about critics, exes, etc in the Scn critic's scene

...is that so many of them love to read- and not just popular novels. All kinds of stuff.

This isn't something one finds in every venue. The percentage of book lovers is, IMO, very high here.

Emma seems to be saying, "don't dare criticize me, else I shall reveal your 'folder data'. Oops!"

.

Vinnie ,your very public posts equate to "dolder data" only in your onw mind.

Your diminished mental capacity is starting to worry me. Have you been trying to solo audit ... again ?

 

[Auditor's Toad]

These days ESMB is not better than a Gossip Rag.
Just an observation. No offense.

Vinnie in his sIggy says he is Shiva.
Folks, Shiva is a Supreme Diety & due repect.
I'm going to stop reading it as Shitta and try to read it is Shiva. Promise.


From Wiki ( my bold added )


"Shiva ( /ˈʃɪvə/; Sanskrit: शिव Śiva, meaning "auspicious one") is a major Hindu deity, and is the Destroyer or Transformer among the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine.

Shiva is one in whom the Universe 'sleeps' in a boundless void after destruction, before re-birth and during its existence. Shiva is therefore "eternal and purest". Thus Shiva is The Reality. Shiva is therefore also The Consciousness (frees from the bonds of mortal desires); Shiva is The Bliss (roots out sin and fear); Shiva is Auspicious (makes the earth religious and an abode of safety and peace).

Shiva is a yogi who has notice of everything that happens in the world and is the main aspect of life. Yet one with great power, he lives a life of a sage at Mount Kailash.[2] In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is the Supreme God and has five important works: creator, preserver, destroyer, concealer, and revealer (to bless). In the Smarta tradition, he is regarded as one of the five primary forms of God.[3] Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas (Sanskrit Śaiva).[4] Shaivism, along with Vaiṣṇava traditions that focus on Vishnu and Śākta traditions that focus on the goddess Shakti, is one of the most influential denominations in Hinduism.[3]

Shiva is usually worshipped in the abstract form of Shiva linga. In images, he is represented as immersed in deep meditation or dancing the Tandava dance upon Apasmara, the demon of ignorance in his manifestation of Nataraja, the Lord of the dance. He is also the father of the deities Ganesha, Murugan (Kartikeya), and Ayyappan (Dharma Sastha)."

Vinny,
My take on Emma's post differs greatly from yours.

IMO, the analogy fails because folder data is/are utterances told to someone (an auditor) in confidence.

Public posts in a venue available to millions and which propagate to google do not qualify.

Dang, girl, you question a Supreme God ?

 

[HelluvaHoax!]

Ummm Vin, a couple of things.

I was never your auditor.

I didn't start the thread.

I didn't write your posts.

You posted to a public message board.

You come here and trash talk ESMB and expect your hypocrisy to go unchecked. Not gunna happen.

You remind me of a little boy who tries hard to get everyone interested in his magic tricks but when no one wants to watch him "perform" he gets all nasty and starts calling the other kids names, or blames the store where he bought his box of magic tricks. It never occurs to him that he is not entertaining or fun or talented. He just thinks everyone is mean.

That kinda says it all, thanks!

I wish I had a video clip of it, but there was an old tv episode of Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents ( I think) with Don Rickles as a sorta Willie Loman loser comedian....

There is one famous scene where he is doing his standup routine in front of a live Comedy Club audience and totally bombing....nobody is laughing, the place gets dead silent, he breaks into a sweat. Then becoming desperate, he starts forcing the jokes and eventually has a total meltdown where he suddenly turns on the audience, angrily berating them.

There is one classic line he quite memorably and, in a desperation rage, venomously spits out at them:

HEY! THIS IS FUNNY STUFF PEOPLE!!!
THIS IS FUNNY STUFF!!!!
​

It always stuck in my mind as the perfect expression of someone who turns on their own audience when they fail at every level to entertain, hold interest, make a sale, et al. It wasn't "funny stuff" and it the character pathetically is looking to blame anybody besides themselves.

Hey if anyone knows which scene I am talking about, let me know what show that was on and I'll see if I can dig up the clip.

 

[HelluvaHoax!]

Vinnie is a bit disappointed that we lesser beings are not interested in sitting in awed reverance as he engages in his never-ending over-thinking.

I am thinking of starting a new thread and wondering if you think you would like to co-host it with me.

I have been thinking about the thread TITLE and think I have finally reduced it down to the simplest expression I could possibly think of. . .

THE NATURE OF OVER-THINKING​

​

What is it? What do you think about it?
When is enough thought enough thought do you think?
Thinking about thoughts, thoughtfully.
Thinking of thoughts one should not think about.
Remembering thoughts I forgot to think.
Unthought thoughts that people think should perhaps be thought of.
Thoughts I might have about thoughts I haven't yet thought of.
The history of thinking thoughts about the history of thinking thoughts.
Thoughts one does not need to think when one is thinking about thinking.
Thinking that thought might have its own thoughts about my thinking, I think. ​

Possibly the genesis of Hubbard's Fair Game Tech, eh?

 

[guanoloco]

Hi Vinnie.......

Bye Vinnie?????

That was short and sweet?

Want it shorter? I bet Paul has the Din of Vin on "ignore".

 

[Auditor's Toad]

Vinnie, I think a fork is headed your way.

 

[Claire Swazey]

Vinny,

You're getting a lot of teasing on this thread, but thing is, your opening post is dismissive of many people, many posts, and some extremely heartfelt communications.

As I mentioned the other day, a lot of news gets posted here.

And, now that I think of it, protests are coordinated. That isn't gossip, hon.

 

[HelluvaHoax!]

LOL.

Yeah, it's always a hoot when a comedian or guru screams at you for not having VGIs.

 

[Auditor's Toad]

I love gossip !
I love ESMB !

Vinnie are you unhappy with us here on ESMB ?

If so, please communicate.

I promise to try to not laugh at you. Really.

After all, this is your most responded to thread ever !

Maybe Lakey can get all his hordes of academic viewers to cruise by here and boost your view stats !

 

[Smilla]

Not enough gossip on this thread.

 

[afaceinthecrowd]

Ahh, Vin...Lighten up.

That "Squirrel" W/Cing you did on me at Flag that you got sent to Ethics and Crammed for was actually, at the time, some pretty dadgum good shit...really.

I probably didn't "get" all you was wantin' and hopin" I would out of it, but it did help to calm me down and even me out for a couple of days and, back then, that's damn sure far more than most of my Auditing Sessions were doin'.

I honestly felt real sorrowful for you when Erlich went Postal and stopped you from doin' that voodoo, you do, so well, on me.

Peace Be With You My Former Shipmate,

Face

Saved me doing the emeter course at flag which I told them either I could read or not read a meter but I was not going to do that course after doing as many thousands of hours of auditing as i had.

And I thank Vinnie for holding the cans for me for the lord knows how many thousandth time of having the same drill list accessed on him with Dennis looking over my shoulder.

( Ended up twinning the whole damn course anyway just to get somebody else through it in a hurry without them having to fiddle faddle around finding a twin & then putting up with crappy coaching ).
