Seth,
Greetings my dear friend...how art thou? I don't have much to say and it would not be truthful of me if I stated that I read your post throughly...erm I skimmed it. Well...we will have time to talk later. Meet me later on in the day so that we can take care of that maggot by the name of Adam. See you in a while.

Due to the fact that this post caused more than my usual amount of discord (that was a joke), it has been deleted by the author (me).

I apologize for any offense I may have caused, as that was not my intent.

Sincerely,
Sidonia DeMornay

please also refer to VTK's official stance on elders and mentors to form your opinion

My apologies, Maestro, I was not trying to do that. I know a few people who would probably pay you for properly humbling me. :(

I did not mean to come off that way, and I can remove the post if you wish... it took me the better part of 3 hours to type and phrase that post, as I was trying to avoid sounding like some stupid "better than thou" prat, and attempting to explain what I have learned.... and thus you are "Killing the Buddha," yes? I did not realize I had offended you so highly, and I extend my apologies not just to you but to anyone else on this site who has felt this way as well.

Apparently I failed miserably at my attempt to educate. :? From this point forth I can leave explanations such as this to you or V. I will return later after I have slept for a few hours and calmed down a bit, and I will remove my post (along with any others you feel may be along the same lines)...

~Sid

sorry, i formulated that one wrong without thinking too much Sid, i'm the one who's sorry for coming off so wierd

i just wanted to give an alternative view without discrediting yours.
indeed that is exactly what i think a newbie should do, get a second opinion.
too many websites only offer one set of views, "beliefs" or plain fake religion or hero worship. newcomers to the scene for which the internet is the best starting point are bound to get sucked in to any one of those groups only for the fact that each one claims itself to be an authorative source of information on the whole of the quite diverse vampire scene.

good judgement and usage of several sources should bring someone interested into the whole thing pretty much safely wherever he wants to go with it, but blind following a certain mindset promoted by that website whose design you like most will obviously stay one of the reasons why totally off limits communities need only evangelize their stuff hard enough to find an instant followership

that is at least my opinion and you're more than welcome to have your own, since that is the whole goal of what i'm trying to tell people

btw, wouldn't an official statement on vampirism on VTK make us the buddha? :wink:

It's ok, Maestro, you are always weird... we're used to it. :lol:

Thank you for your post and the message explaining things, I apologize for assuming it was what I had written. I won't be so rash next time. :wink: And if I am, than type faster so you can keep up with my deletions! LOL (j/k)

Hmmm after giving that advice much careful thought, my reply is no thanks. Think of all the paragliding I would miss out on if I looked before I leaped! :cool:

Seeing as I have been given permission by M to post the aforementioned deleted post (and have received a few requests to put it up again)... and since I always type everything out in a word editor if it's more than my usual nonsensical rambling (therefore it is saved) I will most likely post it as it's own thing. When I am able. Someday. For now my attention span is about

Thanks everyone for cheering me up and promoting my ego once again... you'll regret it. :wink:
