I didn't read the entire thread on LD4ALL yet, but did check out the post by pdiddles03 and I'm shocked at some replies he got, mainly first couple of them. I don't think anybody would feel good if he got mean replies like that. |

I found this thread at LD4ALL which is somewhat irritating. Also, DreamBliss has posted at the bottom, raging on nina for being a cruel mod. Some quotes from that thread (not all from the same person): |

Why do people seem to think we have a problem with trolls on this board? I can't think of a single person here who actually goes out of their way to act like one. Sure we have a few members that like to put things rather bluntly (Xei, greenhavoc, etc) but they're merely voicing their honest opinions, not trolling. No one really gets their ideas bashed on here unless they truly are being ridiculous. The only difference between DV and most other dreaming sites is the fact that, for the most part, we're a little more secular and "down to earth," while most other sites are full of "spiritual" hippies who feel that their outlandish theories should be taken seriously (when they really shouldn't). |

Seems there is some confusion over there. |
|
Xei is blunt and even his apparent trolling has reason. But I honestly think greenhavoc's purpose is to troll, to upset people. It's just usually intertwined with enough honesty to be overlooked. |

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake
Well, here's one vote for Dreamviews! If we're an internet community-family, then call me bro and wish me good luck on getting that next lucid! |

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week; you have a schedule, a calendar... Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
My opinion on this matter is completely unbiased. |

From the start I was always turned off by the sort of spiritual, mystic attitude that LD4ALL's design seems to emphasize, honestly I feel like that is the wrong approach here - if LaBerge hadn't painstakingly dragged lucid dreaming into the scope of scientific rigor, chances are none of us would be here discussing it. I have to admit that I'm not very familiar with the community, but some of this is not hard to gather. I am quite surprised by some of the things I'm reading in that thread, though. |

Mods and admins seem to get all the heat around here... What exactly is it, though? |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

To be fair, nina can be pretty mean. Certainly not my favourite of the staff. |

Lost count of how many lucid dreams I've had

I see that Loaf has responded to the ld4all thread since this thread started. |

I, personally don't see any truth in posts talking about corruption on this site. I'm drawn here by the exact opposite - by friendlines, willingness to help and by wast knowledge of members and mods about everything related to LDing. I just felt I have to say that to counter-balance the negative stuff. |
|
I found myself wondering if maybe that is the case at LD4All. There aren't really many things that bug me more than the superficial 'nice' mask as you so aptly put it. There's some people in the DV community, both past and present, that I can say I'm not a fan of, but that I'm glad are here because of the views they bring. The quality of discussion and thought that I find here is unmatched in any other part of my life. |
|
I agree with this thread. Enough said by me. |
|
You are completely right about this. |
|
I joined LD4All a while back, and found navigation to be a pain the ass and the discussion stale. In terms of web design they're stuck in the 90s, in terms of their thinking on dreams they're stuck in the 70s. |
