I disagree with you. My view is that very few of us are "First Round" Souls.
As for the Topic of High dose trips reminding you of stuff, i never really get that. Its more along the lines of.....
"Why the fuck are you doing this? Keep going twords your purpose"
However i have no idea what that purpose, goal, or meaning to my life is. MAYBE The guy who stated "Wishful Thinking" was right. Now that i think about it Wishful thinking is very powerful stuff. I notice the world doesnt give me handouts but it does tend to spoil me in small aspects of my "Desires that arnt pointless"
Maybe if i want a purpose its going to give me one

No thank you, i'd rather keep it out in the open. I dont want any monkey business out of you.
I'm sure you would rather keep it in this forum, but unfortunately for you, this forum is not your personalism-exchange service. You've taken this thread entirely off-topic and broken the rules by discussing the personal nature of another poster. Next time read the purpose and intention of this forum, it isn't to engage in some kind of childish personalism war.

Find some tact and follow basic forum protocol. Commentary on the personal nature of another poster is unsubstantiated, irrelevant, and subsequently not allowed. Similarily, if someone wishes to discuss a topic that has nothing to do with the topic of the current thread, then someone creates a new thread, and it is done in a manner that does not make personal references to any poster.
It requires some degree of maturity and tact. Please give it a try, so you don't become more work for Middleman and Diploid.

Is wanting to be a leader human nature?
Are 50 percent of the sentences here pointing towards the rules?
Is admitting to see someone else as immature and whining a personalism?
Is a personalism better if it is a REACTION to another personalism?

Yes. Everyone wishes to interact with reality to fufill their preferences, some are simply more effective in the ways in which they carry out these tasks. Its also a question of the nature of the preference, as well.
Quote:

I'm not about to engage in some kind of complex math problem to answer that question, but if there is considerable discussion regarding exhibited behavior not being in accordance with the purpose and intention, rules and guidelines of this forum, then it would seem likely that this forum is not intended for such behavior to be exhibited, as this forum has a purpose. This sense of purpose is consensual and is maintained through the forum rules, so clearly, that purpose will be maintained by citing the purpose and calling out behavior that is not in accordance with it.
Quote:
Is admitting to see someone else as immature and whining a personalism?
Whining? The only person I have seen engaging in that is the poster who was interacting with Icelander, and I have not personally proposed any personalism in this thread. Stating that to maintain a standard of behavior requires being mature is a neutral statement. Ranting on about someone's post count, as though it had any relevance to Icelander or the discussion at hand, is a personalism and is not permitted, because it does not serve the discussion of the philosophical and spiritual ideas presented.
Hello - this isn't rocket science here. What we have witnessed in this thread is not difficult to understand. Holding a sense of the purpose of this forum and being capable of effectively acting in accordance with it isn't complex. This isn't "he said/she said bullshit". Anyone can readily observe what occured, anyone can understand the nature of this forum by simply reading the forum rules, and to see someone react to someone proposing a dissenting viewpoint by turning it into a personal matter, seeking to discuss and judge the nature of another poster, complete with all sorts of unsubstantiated nonsense, is evidence enough of who is the one creating the trouble - the person who cannot handle the specific nature of this forum, and the idea that it is not their right to rant on and on about the personal nature of another in this forum, and that private matters be carried out in private and that new topics are discussed in new threads, neutral to whatever specific exchange prompted the idea - thinly-guised personalisms through new threads are evidenced for what they are and have no place in this forum.
Once again, this isn't rocket science, it is simply understanding an Internet forum and how it works. Maybe I've been here too long and observed the behavior of this forum and its posters for far too long, and my experience moderating this forum makes my view of it more practical, but I still don't see it as being a complicated matter.
Quote:
Is a personalism better if it is a REACTION to another personalism?
No it isn't, and the only person I have seen that is even subtly responded with another personalism is Icelander. Pointing out exhibited behavior as being agansit the rules is not off-topic, and it is not a continuation of what they started, but simply the forum itself expressing that this does not belong in this forum. Otherwise, a handy moderator can simply remove personalisms when notified.

Well, you could go get them from the Communists on the Yellow River, but I wouldn't suggest this because poaching for the illegal pet trade harms the surviving red panda population.
You'll just have to wait until innovative stoners lead great progress regarding red pandas and a program is founded to begin to breed and introduce red pandas into loving human habitats. Realistically, I would say this would be within ten to fifteen years, but it is becoming harder to predict rates of change as the Internet continues to evolve our society. Hopefully you'll still have a chance to cuddle with a warm red panda.

Most of us here think in terms of productive discussion, and don't have reservations about engaging in critical discussion, and we don't see things in terms of attack and defense, so don't worry about it.
For example, I enjoyed your post because you asked four simple yet effective questions that pertained to what was occuring very well, and I enjoyed responding and forming new ideas. I was happy that you posted as you did.
