    that he's controlled. My explanation is much, much simpler ...
    Heh, tongue or cheek or not it is how I felt at first when I found out they were married, that she was the driving force behind anything nefarious or selfish. It didn’t help that some of the more prominent and intelligent members I respected at the time thought she was practicing black magick

    I haven’t met her in the flesh yet but by directly interacting with her I got to know her fairly well and consider among my favorite and closest friends I’ve made online, dynamic and awe inspiring are great descriptors. You should check out her art, the originite pyramid she and Cristian made me is one of my treasured possessions

    But it just goes to show that best of us can sucked in to relationships and purposes that look and feel good on the surface only to get super deep in a bad “investment” (or energy). She believed in PA and what she thought was Bill’s mission. Hell, maybe on some level even Bill, at one time. Deceptions can’t get so big without a shred o’ truth at the heart of them
    What is the purpose of your presence?

There is a distinct lack of 'energy' around those parts of late. There's also a noticeable lack of some of the Heavy Hitters who used to post in abundance, and new members. I'm thinking that PA has finally found it's place in the Natural Order of things. It's a round-about, or merry go-round, Yeah, a merry go-round, where you go round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round in the same old conversations and subjects. I noticed a reply The Cat in The Hat made to someone a couple of days ago, and it was exactly, and I mean e-x-a-c-t-l-y the same (bullet points, paragraphs, wording) as a reply I'd received from him at least two years ago. He must have pages of copied & pasted replies he's made over the years saved, to be used ad infinitum, such is the repetition of the place.

    Entropy, can't out run it, just gotta accept it.
    I have noticed the definite decline in the quality and quantity of interesting threads and posts on PA. Long gone are the days when you could go to the forum and find page after page of new and interesting threads and posts from some of the most creative thinkers on the internet.

    I think there was a big hope for a sort of revival with the Corey Goode/ Dark Journalist saga but that has fizzled out and the Dark Journalist has moved on to other things. At its peak Ryan talked about having an alliance with the likes of Katherine Austin Fitts and others to bring down CG. As if she would be the slight bit interested in getting involved in that soap opera. Members were warned that they needed to be very careful with the quality of their posts due to the increase in viewers because of the CG affair. It was all in preparation for the swarm of new members that would be coming. Instead of presenting the information and letting the chips fall where they may and let people make their own decisions he let it drag out ad nauseum. I couldn't look any more after I watched a PA member that I had a lot of respect for devolve into a servant for Ryan as he had this person do things like invite certain youtube 'celebrities' that shared his sentiments to be "fast tracked" into membership.(As though there were thousands waiting ahead of them) Frankly, it got to be embarrassing even to read it. I think a lot of folks were really fed up with the whole thing.

    Now, it seems that the whole forum is a patchwork of youtube videos, with very little analysis or discussion. The discussion that does exist, is nowhere near the quality of what it used to be. Don't get me wrong, youtube videos have their place, but a forum is about discussion and that seems to be sadly lacking to a large degree these days. So the days of the vibrant exchange of ideas for that forum seem to be long gone, and at the same time this forum continues to grow. He might take note of the management style of this forum and learn a thing or two.

    I keep hoping some PA folks will drift over here. But with Donk bashing Darth Hatman, Aragorn piling on, and my calling out his psyop tendencies, among others, little wonder folks are loath to join in unless they realize they’ve been snookered by the Hatman.

    The very fact that he was planning for that only emphasizes that taking down Corey Goode is a personal matter for him, rather than a matter of paying a service to the so-called "alternative community". And that then in turn only confirms what I said about him earlier, i.e. Bill Ryan does what's in the best interest of Bill Ryan, and to hell with everyone else.

    I'm afraid both Bill Ryan's ego and his loathing for yours truly are too large for that. Remember, this is a guy who personally banned me from his forum because I told him to his face in a private message that he was being blackmailed into protecting Simon Parkes. And he wàs too — well, more or less, see the next paragraph. It just wasn't by the person I suspected of such, i.e. Stephen Hodges. It was Parkes himself. He threatened to sue the whole of Avalon when a few members began complaining about his — shall we say — "less than appropriate behavior".

    And instead of doing The Right Thing™, El Sombrero™ wrote a private message to Count Comb-Over™ in which he offered his apologies on behalf of every member of Project Avalon, and from thereon he became complicit in covering up Parkes' misconduct by banning those who dared expose Parkes. Laura Heath was banned too, after her "What to do..." thread.

    Are you sure you're looking around carefully enough, then? Because I see many former Avalon members joining up here — some under a different name, some under the same name as they have/had over there.

    Well, I mean coming over here in hordes, i.e. draining the kool-aid swamp.

    Hi. I am new here. Nice to meet you all. I am a member of Project Avalon, kind of retired, I guess. I have been reading this thread about Bill Ryan with great interest. I didn't have any problems with him at all. He didn't get back to me a couple of times when I pm'd him but that isn't a big deal at all.

    The mods do their best. I didn't always agree with some of their decisions, but neither did I know what was going on. My only criticism about them is they have trouble identifying deeply offensive individuals, who will NOT change.

    They seem to have a problem identifying paranoid sociopaths. There is a clear and highly antagonistic quality to their posts and perhaps Bill and the mods think they can work with the person to get them to see reason and be respectful. And clearly, it's not going to happen.

    I vehemently disagree with people who can't disagree respectfully and appear to be engaged in a "quest for the truth" that is cherry picked from a highly politicized and nasty angle and ends up looking like a vendetta.

    Giovanni, I will pm you. I don't want to use my former name on this forum, but if any of the mods or posters from Avalon pm me, I will be happy to!

    Ciao!

    Hi Octupus,

    That was my experience as well. The only conclusion I could draw was that Hatman (denigrating moniker) and the mods were in agreement which I found very disheartening. I was determined that I wasn't going out with a whimper and I didn't.

    Hi, NotAPretender,

    I am sorry to hear that. They are losing people by the boat load. Many former posters have vanished. Some of that is just the usual attrition, I guess. But others?
