One can't just label some one social or anti social/a-social without giving the true test that, when I get done working today I will post. With writing and not actually hearing the sound of someone's voice, you have to ask them to clarify intentions if it is not clear from reading. I will get back with the tools for this. One thing I need to say here about ethics – which is a personal thing. If someone is posting things and causing upsets with more than one person and they have been informed by management and others directly, that individual has been blessed and given a chance to then be ethical. How lucky for those that have experienced this to then see that Man is basically good and can change.

I am following this thread with deep interest, and am looking forward to the insight you will bring, Kathy. As I am dealing currently with someone who shows signs of anti-social behavior in my further extended family, I am largely interested in how to deal effectively with a such a personality outside of a largely positive social network such as Gaia. The effect that her behavior has on people I care about, is upsetting, so I would love to share your tools with them. Thanks for this thread! Blessed Be Claudia |

Interactions in any community can remind us of these thoughts:CHISELED BY OTHERS …you are like the stone that must be chiseled and fashioned before being set in the building…Some will chisel you with words, telling you what you would rather not hear; others by deed, doing against you what you would rather not endure; others by their temperament, being in their person and in their actions a bother and annoyance to you; and others by their thought, neither esteeming nor feeling love for you. You ought to suffer these mortification and annoyances with inner patience, being silent for love of God and understanding that you did not enter the religious life for any other reason than for others to work you in this way, and so you become worthy of heaven. (St. John of the Cross) The day you make up your mind to smile, you will see that everything seems to conspire to try to make you cry! That is life. The day you make up your mind to be patient and forgiving, it will seem that others suddenly become harder to get along with. That is life. We are often crucified by others, but their meanness should not affect our resolutions to be kind. Let others pursue their way; you be bigger and adhere to your way. (Paramahansa Yogananda, `Journey to Self-Realization' ) Thus the wise man, indifferent to himself, is the greatest among them, and taking no care for himself, he is nevertheless preserved. By being the most unselfish he is the most secure of all. (Lao-tse, ` The Adepts in the Eastern Esoteric Tradition') |

This would help if we find we are upset with others in online or offline communities: |
