No, I was pointing fingers at nobody in particular. I've met you
a few times (last time was the Wisconsin regional last spring) and did not
feel you were a high holy. I enjoyed helping do water runs with you. Had
some interesting chats about networking.

Again, I am simply pointing out that a large number of those that
bitch the loudest are also those that never contribute to magic hat, or
travel around the world and point out the flaws of gatherings without really
contributing to the healing of those that need. Yes, when someone new comes
into the Family, they are often in need of alot of love and healing, not the
usual "you drum too loud", or "take a bath you bug infested deadhead", or
any of the other downgrading that often happens. Its no wonder there are so
many brothers and sisters full of anger or sadness at gatherings, and in
their private lives as well.

Ho!
