WakingNomad:
I've only been here for a year, but I've witnessed a very odd progression on your part from a long-winded idea machine to a sporadic one-line narrow opinion processor. I have no idea what happened to you (I'm guessing it mattered a lot, though), but to see you get annoyed at open, wordy, debate is disconcerting at best.
I am by no means a skeptic, though I take the skeptic's position often, just in an attempt to draw the "why" of things from people who actually might know. But I do relish thoughtful conversation, as you once did. It is deeply confusing that you, one of the lights of advanced dreaming here, have taken umbrage with people who want to know more at all cost -- even if that cost is reading tl;dr's and perhaps accepting someone else's point of view. That you think conversations are complete by saying "This is true because I said so," or "This thing happened to me, so it must mean that shared dreaming is real," is troubling.
Aside from the shameful fact that you call posts you clearly did not read BS, I have to question your motives in actually starting a thread meant to do nothing more than whine about people saying things you don't want to hear about your favorite subject. That is just wrong, and from what little I know of you, WakingNomad, that is not how you once were.
So don't bitch: Contribute, pay attention, push your agenda, whatever -- just work to grow this thing that is lucid dreaming (and dream-sharing). Don't get angry because we're not all blindly parroting your "established" tenets.
And yes, Nomad, sometimes the truth requires "tl;dr" posts, because it simply covers that much ground. If you can't handle that, then just leave us be, and feel comforted by your own superiority.
Full disclosure: I wasn't going to post here at all, but, after reading several posts from very clever people, I realized that the thing being discussed wasn't your annoyance, Nomad, but discussion itself. This forum was not invented, I think, to provide unchallengeable "billboards" for self-proclaimed experts; it was invented to allow those experts to mix it up with other experts, until the truth comes out. Please don't try to screw with that, and, more important, don't walk away from discourse.
