Peace y'all,

Please heed my words if you don't listen to anything else I write. I have been on the Internet over 4 years now and this is one of the most peaceful spaces I have entered. In order for that peaceful family vibe to continue, you must heed my advice: IGNORE NEGATIVITY.

What does this mean? If you read a thread that is clearly inflammatory, which clearly attacks Okayartists or Okayposters IGNORE IT. LET IT SINK. Posts in this board only remain visible if people continue to respond to said posts. There is an equal and opposite reaction to everything. If you are loving and peaceful, there will be those who are hateful and warlike who try to destroy your vibe.

If you believe in keeping the family vibe here alive, please keep this message up for at least a day or so, just for everyone to see it and take heed. The moderators can't delete everything. If you ignore nonsense, it will sink and the positive discourse can continue unabated.

Feel me?

All in favor of keeping the peace can reply...negative individuals, feel free to keep marching on.

(Quest, you are truly one of the strongest brothers I know. Your humility amazes me)

Spread love,

Spirit
