Meh. This isn't that type of thread and you know every person here (aside from BG) would rally behind you if they warned you for disagreeing. It doesn't bother me that you have your own opinion and you're not doing it in a trollish manner. Dontknow
I'm not that much of a bitch...I actually like Max and his views..EEK!

He mentioned it to her, she didn't say "O, I want it, I'm going to go read it now, I love semi-religious books!!" She didn't even mention it again, so maybe after she googled it she said "WTF?"

Anyways, ya'll stick together, and I'm obviously wrong and just stirring the pot and trolling and whatever else I can be MA'ed for, so Bye
I don't think anyone's mad at you, Max. laugh out loud
I don't know why you keep saying semi-religious book, though. If it were just any old book, would that make it different in your eyes?

Quote from jaded.echo :
Iagree And it's one thing to be ungrateful, it's another to be BROADCASTING the incident to everybody. It should have been resolve via PM and then have Autumn write a disclaimer in the SS thread.
Gotta agree.

Sorry, I was unclear -- I'm didn't mean that I'm worried that you guys would MA me, I meant that I think you can't talk about locked/deleted threads (def. not about deleted ones at least), I have enough people in the lounge who don't like me, and I should "know better" and someone else may MA Dontknow (MA = probably warn = def. week ban)

Quote from AggieMom :
I get your point and agree with it. Given the recipient's penchant for taking "good morning" the wrong way, there's no way I'd have sent anything unrequested. People were trying to be nice, people are easily offended, and it sucks that it wasn't handled better all around.
Iagree

Quote from notintended :
I've not said anything else about it...I'm just saying it's obvious they have talked about the book before so Dontknow

I think she went the wrong way about handling the situation completely though. I want to know this this and this!!! Let me bring it to light with as little possible details as I can possibly post and leave while everyone else fights about it!!!!
Iagree

You're not wrong, you just have a different view. No harm in that. Exactly why you didn't join SS, it's your choice. Doesn't make you a bad person for thinking the way you do. I can see both sides, just IMO I'm more on mine then yours this time..laugh out loud

Because the book title says something like "the way of messiah" or something like that, I'm too lazy to go back to the thread and find his post and find the exact name.

Sounds religious to me Dontknow And I say "semi-religious" because he linked it in a job thread, so I'm sure there's more to the book.

If it were a coloring book, I probably wouldn't have as big of a stick up my ass about it.

But religion is a very personal thing and when a random person sens you a book that appears to be religious, I find it just odd/wrong/pushy/creepy//etc..

Just like you would find it wrong if I started preaching Scientology to you via PM every day laugh out loud

from amazon.com - the book in question

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar....

In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.




doesn't sound overly or really even semi- religious to me
