It is inconceviable ever imagimable that it took the DR staff two years to develop new rules in DR guidelines. They failed to fathom that my complaint filed in 2006 was ignored AT THE EXPENSE OF some bloggers and readers (go ask Joey Baer). All the DR staff said in 2006 was that there was absolutely nothing DR staff could do as long as DR is an aggregator. It, indeed, does remind me of one of the Aesopic Fables, ignoring the cries.

Therefore, I am greatly grateful and appreciative that Patti Durr, Joey Baer, and Mike Schmdit finally gave up their v/blogs last week so as to give the DR staff an unpleasantly rude awakening,

In view of Tayler’s latest guidelines, I sincerely hope that more bloggers and readers who have abandoned DR since 2006 will revisit DR and may resume blogging and reading!

Please memorize forever that were it not for v/bloggers and readers here, DR would be empty! In other words, the DR staff would not have been hired as dealers because they do not know how to listen to customers just because their skin is soooo thick.

Soit!

I was referring to the commenters disregarding Patti’s wishes (last night at 8:25pm) that the dialogue be constructive and peace in her blog, not about Tayler. I hope this clarifies what my comment was about.

About Tayler and DR, I am glad that we are making progress, where the community is heard.

i want this for each of us because it is often my biggest area of weakness - i have a powerful “need to be right” but i have been learning that it is often
“better to be kind than it is to be right”

i am always looking for ways to have compassion alongside my passion. if i keep company with folks who can be firm with their principles and still listen to others to determine their p.o.v. i have a better chance of being good. if i keep company with folks who are out to humiliate or shame in order to “win” then justice can not be present and for me nor can peace

i am very thankful that tayler is revising his guidelines

we who have chosen to stand firm with love have faced A LOT of hostility. we have been split open with folks assuming the worse in us when we have challenged injustice. we have had to worry about our jobs, we have had to worry about our families, we have had to worry about our friends - and who really is our friend? we have had to look hatred in the face and still say - i must stand in this uncomfortable place because i C-A-R-E about u and me and that which is right which is good which is just

that really is my wish - that we discover a way to advocate that does not involve attacking each other

i will continue to do my part

i am thankful to anyone who is willing to come stand with me - i only ask that we approach our task of WAKING UP peacefully and FIRMLY with love

there is alot of harsh judging going on and an eye for an eye make us all blind and really we should be valuing our eyes and our vision and our ability to SEE first and foremost

with the brain power and great passion and dedication and single minded focus that so many folks are demonstrated on DR - wow we really could change the world for the better

thank ya all for making a difference and for CARING

peace

Patti got her wishes because all of us agree with her about what’s happening lately. I am glad that Tayler listened to us and made some revision in guideline which he recently announced in his vlog this morning. Yes indeed Patti and most of us got our wishes.

I see that others are still disregarding your wishes. Sorry, Patti. You don’t need this in your blog

warmly, MZ

Sucks when we have wonderful moderates, like you who really see things in a very good light and provide valuable insight, only thinking about going back and forth between leaving DR or not.

You are wrong. I’ll say it again: You are wrong.

Again: You are wrong.
