If you have not noticed, all Durianriders posts have been deleted from this forum. What do people think about this??
I really enjoyed reading his experienced advice...I know Durian rider personally, and I know he is walking his talk. He has a huge heart and is constantly contributing and helping others whether its by internet, phone, or in person. His approach my be extreme to some, but never boring!
I don't know anything about what kind of foods you've experimented with and so on, so I'm not saying this to try to convince you.
I just feel that the important part, when it comes to high fruit consumption is that it has to be balanced out with low fat. Or if people eat a lot of fat, keep the fruit low. My best choice is 811rv, but I'm open to the fact that that might not be ideal for other people.
And you are right; there is a balance needed here on GI2MR too. I'ts good to have a lot of different people, wether they are supporting you or challenging you (and I mean challenge in a good way, a healthy discussion) :)
Tell your spuse I would be most happy if he would eat all the plums in the world. I can't stand them personally ;)
I don't care if he's abrasive or not. I actually like that. Stirs things up a bit. I'm just tired of hearing of 80/10/10 like it's the holy gospel of raw foods. If a particular thread were about sun gazing, he'd find a way to throw 811 in there.
There's a specific thread in the admin area for ban information. Dhru commented extensively there, plus a couple of other places about it. So, more noise than with any other banning - you just have to be in the right place to see it :)
Wow! Today I click on gitmr specifically to check out what Durianrider is up to. I couldn't find anything, so I searched his name....
All this Baning crud is getting on my nerves! What the heck happened to freedom of speech?
Sure he speaks his mind, he speaks his heart as well, and that is what is rare about him.
It is oh so simple to ignore what someone says... Unless there is a truth to what was said and you can't handle it.
I feel that I do not run GI2MR and so it's not up to me. I'm sure I never read half of what DR wrote but I guess that Dhrumil has. The private feedback Dhrumil has gotten from other members, is unknown to me also. Dhrumil has more to consider than just one persons feelings.
Sorry I just don't know enough to consider his decision wrong, based on the person that Dhrumil appears to be, I have to trust his management of this site.
If I don't agree with his methods, then I can vote with my browser.
I also am a member of 30BAD and have always enjoyed the little bits off DR I have seen. I stopped reading/joining in the argument threads when things got bad last year and Dhrumil asked everyone to be nicer so I've missed all the recent posts by DR.
I'm glad you disagree with my definition of spirituality. I was thinking about that in regards to this thread actually. Most things you can analyze and chop up logically but individual preferences not so easy. I think what I was trying to mean by ...
Hi April,
We get a fair number of applicants, and it varies all the time.
It is absolutely NOT required that someone be raw for any length of time. What is required is that someone be truly open and coachable.
This is paradigm-busting stuff bas...
loving yourself, seeing the divine in all.. being true to your soul, being alive and vibrant, joyous and greatful.. beauty is like a state of being, an energy which knows no material limits
Pretty interesting. It was hard to tell what he was for and against though, haha. I would hope to be in as good condition as him when I'm 91..... or better :j
