This is all common knowledge. NOW, just because these are known instances, doesn't make it feel any better when one of these orgs sees something they equate to their org being used by someone else. That is, IMO, the reasoning behind this post. I also think it is funny when a non-member of an organization comes to a GREEK hangout and try and blast people in these organizations ON THEIR boards....that is funny, but understandable. Why?, because the interrnet gives a person the ability to be anonymous. With this ability comes the so called "power" to say what they want to without the fear of being harmed for what is said. That is why REIKI took on the "attitude" of trying to school someone on a post they made. On the internet you can cuss someone out and what is the repercussion of doing so?....absolutely nothing. Unless, of course, the person is known by another personally, and most times that is not the case. Like in this case, what would be the repercussion of me posting this message?...well, the person who I could be posting to could write a response back and on and on it could go, but in all "Reality", since we now know the definition of it, the "actual truth" of the matter...nothing....mortgages and rent will still be paid, cable is still on.........the world is as it was........
Sweetie I have no reason to fear being 'found out'. If you would like to know who I am, I will gladly send you a private message with my name & mailing address. As far as I am concerned, the conversation is way past squashed because you will see it as you see it given your knowledge and experience, and I will see it as I see it given my knowledge and experience.

Peace.
