Alrighty, I feel if I dont say something no one else will, although Lucid would probably get too annoyed and just let him have it eventually, I am going to do something before we get another DattaSwami.

First off, there is a general unwritten rule on BrainMeta that you dont post Lots and Lots and Lots of Topics all at once, why? because there are some topics that have literatly lasted for years on BrainMeta and people generally only are on a few topics a day, so seeing a horde of new topics or rather the same topic with a new title, are not enjoyed (read: making many topics and posts about one thing: donating money, you only need one).

Secondly, there are many people (scientists) who greatly enjoy using both hemispheres of the Brain. People on BrainMeta dont have a problem if you have a point of view that is against art, however if you are very closed minded on the subject and simply try to berate people into taking your side, they respond very negativly.

Thirdly, it doesnt matter how much damn money you donate, your not going to guilt Shawn into doing what you want, Shawns the boss on BrainMeta and not you. If you have a suggestion then you are welcome to make it, however, donating money wont give your suggestion anymore importance than anyone elses suggestion, if you think it will, you will soon find yourself sorely mistaken. Dont forget Shawns a neuroscientist, that means he makes lots of $$ so acting like your a big spender by throwing him a few bucks and then expecting him to do what you tell him is laughable. Shawn is very ethical incase you havent noticed and has an integrity that I most admire.

In the end im doing you a favor, im giving you a chance to avoid becoming the next dattaswami and having the entire BM community against you. Im really trying to do you a favor man by pointing things out to you that you may not have realized. I think I have covered the basics, if anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so.

I don't think Cybert is like Dattaswami at all. Cybert is opinionated, and we may differ with his opinions, but at least his posts show some thought. Dattaswami, on the other hand, just posts forum spam of the same inane mindless nonsense.

Who's Dattaswami? I did a search and didn't find much.

Thats what im saying hes not like dattaswami.. yet. Im all for opinions, im just trying to give Cybert some advice. When you discuss things, one needs to have an open mind, and he has been upsetting some of our more religious people (you know im somewhat against religion lucid but I always hear them out) im trying to spare him some heartache really. I wont deny it, hes pissed me off, but im truely trying to give some advice thats in his best intrests.

Cybert I think you are just passionate about BrainMeta and that passion has been misdirected. What I really think you should do is just relax and simply discuss ideas, thats the heart of BrainMeta, you may be just trying to do to much at once, when I first joined I had about 2 dozen things I wanted to talk about, but I just went for one and I had a great time doing it. Eventually I got around to all of them and found out a lot more than I originally learnt by reading other peoples posts, thats whats so great about BM, its a group of people discussing ideas. The people here are great and I can tell you must like BrainMeta cause youve donated $144 dollars, dont get me wrong I appreciate that youve been trying so hard, but maybe youre trying to hard? Just relax and enjoy what BrainMeta has to offer, learn whats great about it before you try to change or improve it.

OK, I read some dattaswami, even saw the website. That guy is a mumbling idiot. I would hope not to be compared with him.

Hehe no one could be worse than dattaswami.. if he ever were to return, people would be running down the streets in terror and the acopolypse would be upon us. Onfire was the second, he wasnt as bad as dattaswami, he did make constant topics and said he wanted to know "what we thought" or "get our opinions" and after he knew, he began preaching, over and over again, very similar to dattaswami, but not as bad.

As I said Cybert, youre not a dattaswami, you were headed down that path and you seemed intelligent enough to be able to point something out and notify you of the situation, sometimes we all need a external view of ourselves.
