ORIGINAL: feastie Wouldn't this thread have been more appropriate and more comfortable on the Gor board? Why borrow trouble? I know that the OP understands that there is always a lot of conflict regarding Gor and therefore, would be for anything similar. Besides, the thread topic kick starts the arguments just by having the word Gor in the title. I understand the premise that you're trying to extend the invitation to Klashaan to everyone, but you truly shot yourself in the foot here. For the rest of you, is it really so important to argue the merits of Gor or anything like it because someone has posted a thread meant in the informational and invitational sense to people who might be interested. If you're not, then why bother with the thread at all? Yeah, you have a "right" to post, because its a public thread, but...must you just because you don't like the topic? Is everything a debate? Just trying to put out the flames, here. Posting exclusively on the Gor board may miss many people that hadn't considered this , or thought about it a great deal. It's not too onerous to look at something and decide* Nope, not for me* or ignore it altogether, without exploring it. Either way, big deal. We live in family units,( of varying styles) in the *real world* but they all can differ to a HUGE degree. The rules, ideals, principles are known by those living in the unit and vary from family member to family member according to age and understanding and personality. The way I raise my children, the rules, the ideals and some of our rituals are absolutely not for other people. That's ok. Theirs aren't for us, either. Theirs are the ones they are happy to live by and uphold and so are ours. I know nothing of Loki's book; know a little of Gor and my outlook is a group of people living in a way they choose.... Most people *borrow* their ideals and principles from parents, religion, community, culture.....then refine and hone them over time to ones that they are comfortable living with. I like the thought of this....it makes me think, re-examine my own *ways*..consider things I may not have... I like having different *ways of living* presented to me.....it's an opportuntity to open my mind to yet something else. agirl edited, typing error
