FWIW, Lunoor, I am always happy to read your posts and you comment back on mine. I enjoy your presence here. I sense you do not refer to me in above post (if so you can let me know), due to our interactions all being positive...not at the very beginning but soon after and since then we've been forum friends. I feel Wolf is happy to have you here too. So I just wanted to say your presence is welcome here, my feeling on it.
Yes I agree people can get pigeon holed. I see it happen all the time, at work and in tonal situations many many times over and over. Its not always the person's fault and it can be herd mentality. Once the herd begins to chatter, its hard to break the spell. Gossip is very powerful. Its everywhere too, no only on forums. In fact, perhaps worst at work where tensions can run high. There is another type of petty tyrant, its not a single human, but the group dynamics, that can be the tyrant to be dealt with...appearances, perceptions shared collectively.
But the funny thing about a group in such a way, each person is still a separate entity within the herd and thus free to change their mind/opinion given new information which effects the group dynamic by inserting doubt into the group belief structure.
But I have faith its possible to have a group of positive intending sorcerers. The opposite of FI-driven situations. Can that happen on a public forum? hmmmm well its a bit too much to ask, I think, due to people living all over the world with access to internet will do as they want and it really really varies from person to person how one perceives things. But a committed group of a few is very very possible. But some may fear or anticipate cultish behavior then...well, I see this occur too. But I believe so strongly in the nagual link as the sole guiding force for a group, which is outside all these descriptions, I say.
