OK DIF team, it's all out in the open now. You have started a conversation. So I think I can say this for the majority of us.
Our issue with the DIF is clear. It is run in a way that lets bigots continually preach from a place of hate and seems to thrive on it. For anyone who is genuinely interested in Mr Icke's work that signs up, there is a big shock waiting. The overwhelming tone of the site is far from the message of infinite love!
Many many of us did and do our very best to be that message. Both in our lives and online.
We had and do have serious concerns that the DIF is in contradiction to the work of Mr Icke. Intolerance, disrespect, hate, bigotry, I don't remember ever seeing mr Icke encourage those things. And yet the DIF is a hot bed of those things. Throughout the place.
Over there you have moderation avenues that are ostensibly designed to deal with that. You are also legally obliged to deal with it as you know.
So, many of us used those channels as you know. We attempted to raise our concerns with yourselves and got nowhere. Your responses seem to be modelled on the Arcylus principle of "I see no racism here". I for one can testify that I got nowhere using those channels.
The response to growing concern has been to ban those that raised their voices and then ban anyone that felt the same way and chose to join up here. This we find unacceptably poor.
We also find it unnaceptable that you have been going through people's PRIVATE messages as a part of your 'campaign'. Big brother? There is a history of this kind of invasion of privacy at the DIF and you seem to have learnt nothing from the first flare up. In fact you just changed the rules to allow it. Similarly you have changed the rules this time with regards to other forums. It seems ok for people to be on Stormfront and organize incursions to the DIF but it is not ok for us to be elsewhere chatting about our concerns over this. Crazy stuff!
We are not out to discredit mr Icke, despite you trying to convince DIF members that we are. We are out to form a predominantly online community that mirrors mr Ickes views. Something we always hoped the DIF would be. We would rather like the DIF to be what it purports to be also, a place for the coming together and "awakening" of the spirit of humanity.
It's noted that you have now gone on a clean up campaign, moving all the "Jew" threads, "Nazi" threads and similarly hateful crap to the nether regions. It's also noted you have now banned a couple of the regularly offensive 'contributors'. Stable doors and horses does spring to mind.
The reaction of the DIF to us has been ridiculous. There are currently 50 odd of us against your claimed 60,000. Although I note that the banned and inactive still count in that total
Why do you feel so threatened if you are coming from a place of infinite love?
One of many questions that jump out.......
