I used to post in ATF on the regular when I was bored, years ago. Kind of embarrassed about that now.
At a glance though the forum is probably a lot better today than a year or two ago when every complaint would be immediately with a mod dogpile. That was pretty lame.
Somewhat flabbergasted there's sharp people who think iggy believes the crap he's selling. Giving somebody credit for thinking different when the whole point of their posting is getting attention by making a deliberate choice to argue against convention for the sake of arguing against convention is weird as hell.
Crossnerd is Jenn Fox- who got ran out of OOT for being crazy like 5 years ago (and IIRC may have had a similar experience in NVG as well- I forget what exactly ended with Former WPT Superstar Alex Jacob sending me angry PMs for being mean to his girl).
“I would rather die standing than live on my knees!” Emiliano Zapata (Mexican revolutionary). this is an example or reflection of the virtue of honor which i spoke of before. it seems a little harsh or like too much i mean we are just dudes not warriors but u need that warrior spirit my brothers not to fight ur other brothers for hitting someone else is hitting yourself, but u need that warrior spirit to fight the forces of ignorance, hatred and greed in your own mind.
yes, the jihadist are right, there is a battle of good and evil, but they are very wrong in their physical plane tactics and misguided murderous lunacy. this is what is hard to see and why they are fooled. have the warrior spirit, be strong, but be compassionate, be WISE...understand the true nature of reality and the battle you are waging. use all your creative resources. the battle is in your Mind. big Mind like the zen dudes say. it all arises in your mind and u create this reality, why not learn from the vikings, from the greeks, from the buddhists and from anatta....but mostly learn from your own big Mind!
anatta might be like the guy in the myth who was walking with his friend and then they found a hole in the sky that would let them see into heaven; one of them got the other to give him a boost so he could look in, but the instant he got a look he gasped in joy and then forgot everything before and stayed there staring forever.
then again anatta might also just be staring at his windows stars screensaver for like the last ten minutes. But praise be to anatta, and to the people living on their knees communicating the incommunicable, and like the song goes do not necessarily think that you will be aware of your own enlightenment, and like the other song goes I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

"I would say that next to (Alabama coach) Nick Saban, Dabo's name and likeness probably means as much to" Clemson as any football coach's name and likeness means to his school, says Swinney's agent, Mike Brown.
