Hi Lou,
I hope you remember that I told you that I hoped I always had the courage to stand up for what I thought was right.
Well, I don't think Dr. Bob is sadistic, and it troubles me to hear him called sadistic. It's clear from my posts that I thought your banning was precipitous and based on a misunderstanding, but I never thought he was sadistic. In fact I have found him to be extraordinarily kind on many occasions. Please read the thread on What to do while you are banned, where Dr. Bob makes clear that no insult is intended.
Dr. Bob did allow you to post again after a week, and I hope you make the best possible use of that privilege, because the ability to post here is a privilege, not a right guaranteed under any constitution.
I admire the Lou Pilder who stuck calmly to his message while firmly remaining civil to those around him. I had wondered if your conduct had something to do with one of the gates you had yet to share with us. You had shared with us gates 1 and 2, forgiveness and love of mankind. While, again, I have no desire to join you on your path, since my own brings me great peace and joy, I do find that the ideas of forgiveness and caritas to be wonderful ideas. They bring to the person forgiving and loving more peace than they bring to the person loved and forgiven.Why don't you come to the Social board and share the rest of your journey. This board is read by many more than those who post, and your message may reach many, even if they don't choose to reply.
