: In that case, dear --
I made a bet that I can make you say me "dear". You did that always when you
got provoked - two years ago. You are the only "member" who still is here.
Usually it takes 6 months to burn out. Are the others "integrated" out of
here? Tell me your story, Fred. Is this the only place where you can excel?
Maybe it would be too much for you to get to know some enneagram teachers
- like you yourself.
:-- your workshops are scabby, flaky, inconsequential, and too conceited
:for their own phony-intellectual good... and I take great pride in
:admitting I have no associations with them.
Neither have I. I've got some 40 books about the subject. But nothing else.
Let's take the (twoish) pride together!
:Good riddance! Eighty percent of the stuff on this board is a waste of
:time? Funny, I was thinking that the same percentage was honest and
:searching - the product of inspired persons.
I agree. The same percentage is HONEST and SEARCHING and the persons
are O.K. in every sense. But they have no contribution to the enneagram.
In oral tradition workshops some introspective persons tell the audience
what is it like to be a certain type: what, how, when and WHY. Everything
goes backwards here! Some poor innocent beginner asks who she or he is -
and then you and your collegues give her/him a lecture. "Inspiring" indeed!
The message board idea does not work properly in this context.
:Why on Earth are you "still present?"
I gave you something to grip!
To answer your question, I'm exercising my english. It's in a poor state
and it needs practising. The story is longer, but I don't want to bore you.
I respect you and others, but "kisses and love" style is not for me.
You and many others are working anonymously - so you want to be the
target. Those who have a REAL e-mail address with their postings
are REAL personalities. Others are just "no ones" and deserve a few
tackles, if possible.
Just a couple a weeks ago it was published a study which revealed that
WWW makes the surfers depressed. No wonder, if you are looking support
without name and identity.
The "oral tradition and wasting time" is not my idea. I have copied it,
because it makes sense to me.
That's it. Thanks for your respond.
