Thanks to several of you who alerted me to Mud's presence and abusive posts. It looks to me like he's unsubscribed from Tribe, and I'm guessing was either kicked off or told by too many to take a hike. I've not been doing my rightful duties as moderator here, as my bandwidth in "real life" is getting narrow enough that I can't monitor Tribe much anymore. Also, Tribe is so ridiculously slow that doing anything, even replying to a simple e-mail, seems to take forever. And I don't have time.

If Mud / Billy shows up again, someone please let me know via e-mail and not by posting / responding to him - I'll get the former, but unlikely the latter. I'm happy to give him the boot.

I did scrub the "Hi Guys" posting, using a moderator judgment, to carve out some of the catfighting. I didn't scrub Druben's "Sacred group intimacy work" post, because even though Mud was being a dick, it did raise some lively discussion and clearly this important topic pushes people's triggers - and it's very interesting to me to explore that. If y'all feel it's just abusive trash, I can delete the whole thread and invite Druben to start the post fresh.

I wish all of you a very Happy New Year with gentle and easy beginnings.

Peace,
Peacock
