What is a nugget?

[flower]

...and why is it creating such negative vibes?

Why is it the most racist... prejudiced people...seem to think they are the most enlightened??

[magamud]

Its a tell in the individuals boundary with the Collective. This is not easy, but a healthy boundary, for instance, like a cell is a permeable membrane. Most cannot make it a 2 way street so it becomes a one way street, and their Identity burrowed deep within self and only through some heated dynamics does the core psyche come out. Like getting a fever to kill the Virus? The Eugenicist have the same power dynamics..
Im speculating of course...

Hi Celine,

not sure if this thread was inspired by posts about our "lord Sid" or not? hope this helps if this is the case!

Am still waiting for him to follow through on his public threats made towards me

[Going by]

OK: my own definition

A nugget is a piece of sh t that can be turned into gold (gold nuggets). There is no negative in this.

To tell the truth, I did not know what a nugget was (in English, I knew in French - une crotte) until the LS problems surfaced. I had to check in a dictionary to be able to understand the problem. So it has, all along, zero impact on me, I was just thinking it was kind of a warm (lol) way to affectionately call people.

How often C?line haven't we heard in French Canadian "Oh! La belle petite crotte" talking about a pretty or nice child. ("Oh, the nice little nugget" in English)

Although LS named all of us a piece of sh t at times, the whole thing was not negative in intention I am sure, but rather a way to affectionately name people, even if it look yurky. This is often a man ways of showing emotions without showing them officially.

My take: the person who made a crisis on Avalon about this was sent to make sure LS was out of Avalon. It worked.

Our? Lord?

lol.. i "know" you didnt mean that.

Yes the thread is about Rob's insulting terminology but also...

its about why... "enlightened" healers... spiritualists etc...are the FIRST to jump on the judgemental bandwagon?


I dont know Rob much... tho he does talk with Richard from time to time.

I have heard he doesnt like me much... interresting how one can come to that conclusion without truly knowing someone.

He has also threatned to sue Nexus for whatever insults he feels directed at him..

Why would you excuse that?

and..

crotte...is not only used affectionatly

"Callise de p'tit crotte touche moi pas!"

If the Lord is compartmentalized, it would be hard for him, to tell the difference between an insult or an olive branch. Hence living in a Castle, with a moat, armed guards and Monsters lurking around...Difficult for a sense of humor to flourish when your self is no joking manner.

Not going to happen Andy Rob has created his own forum and will be most likely staying there as for nuggets it is hard to say in what context he was using the word Nuggets of gold , a nugget of Sh!t < who knows

I never felt that it was with negative intentiions from LS C?line. Words carry the meaning we give them. If they are misunderstood, the sender should try to explain and correct, however the intention beneath is what carries the real meaning.

Almost all along, I felt that LS use of nugget was rather to create a warm atmosphere, not a detrimental one. It was like that until that final day and wrath of one member.

What is a Nugget?

It's a tactic. It is one of the things that helped to create a perception of pseudo-authority, and also the perception of an "in" and "out" group. [Just like the blue eye, brown eye thing.] The "in" group to which those of weaker character [a lot of which were attracted to AV2 during the Atticus thing.] were eager or desperate to belong and felt good about being included in. This 'group' comes in very handy when it is time to stir the pot of $hit and create a wide division using your 'followers' to back your position.

Well I have to agree, thats probably what the main issue is with using the word nugget. Is it an insult or is it harmless? Its hard to determine the meaning behind it but the way I felt when when I was on Avalon was that it had came across with some derogative connotation behind it. Yet it is seemed the term was used on everyone and LS tended to use it more when he was having a heated discussion. It could be as Going by has stated maybe I have put some negative connotation on the term, it would not be the first time I have misinterpreted someones writing, as others have misinterpreted my own, leaving me scratching my head wondering where it all went wrong.

Theres only three things I really remember about LS when I was on Avalon, one he is very intelligent, two he is highly opinionated and three he liked to use the word nugget.

I would go along with this too. I never interpreted the word at meaning sh1t. There was a big discussion about this and the overwhelming view was that meaning of the word nugget was only one of several and that was not why he was using it........although his many uses of the word, led to confusion and misinterpretation.

Intention behind words is more important, I think. People can use very nice words when really their intention is to belittle and attack in a backhanded manner.

As it stands, Avalon have now got their way and got rid of nuggets and Sid off the forum and Sid has his own forum where he can use nugget whenever he likes.

Hi Vajra
This is what the mods said as to why he got banned, although that did change to what he said via PMs - it all got very confusing really.

Sid used the nugget word to greet everyone on the forum and he used the word, it seems, universally to everyone in posts whether he was agreeing or disagreeing. Yes a group of friends liked to have some laughs with their banter over it.

As to him creating some perception of authority, if this is the case it was rather obvious .......and I have to say I have observed far more subtle ways which "in" and "out" group plays out on the forum.

I thought this post was about MCnuggets.

Thankfully I missed the point and am not emotionally involved in this one, as it sounds somewhat intense.

Hi Jenci..

One of my 'talents' is that I am almost always very accurate in my intuitions, perceptions of people, the most accurate impressions are always instantaneous. There are some people I just don't get ANY impressions of at all, but that does not happen often.

The mods at AV3 are not terribly highly developed people, so it took them a while to figure out what he was doing. One of the things you have to look at is the sheer number of posts and thanks, which is a strong indication that he was not the only person posting under that name and account. That does not take into account the likely very high number of PMs sent to mods and especially members, which helped him to cement in the minds of people the impression of him being a pseudo-moderator or pseudo authority figure.

But I did say, the "perception" of an 'in' and 'out' group. Of course this is a group to which everyone was invited. It was all about putting into people a feeling and the image of a welcoming "Host" to a place that was not his to host. You have to watch when that kind of thing happens. It was all about recruiting followers.

My prediction about his new forum, and I could be wrong, but it will either be a place where a lot of dis-information is distributed of supported, or a place where he uses his charismatic abilities to create an army of supporters, possibly enticing them to act in specific ways against other fora or alternative media. Or he will get bored with it, spend less and less time there and join up with another public forum and start up again. We'll see.

if this is the case it was rather obvious

Maybe obvious to you but not so obvious to many others.

I don't know, Vajra......so let's say something I do know, lol.

All the forums need to be vigiliant about attacks which could be made to bring them down, whether subtle, obvious, trojan horses etc.

I do realise that we all have different levels of perceptions as to what is obvious. Part of our personal growth is to see where we can be mislead. Some have walked further down the road on this than others.

14 years of being online and lots of time spent role playing..you learn to pick up peoples voices even when they post on several names..and 3000 posts on the diablo three forunf in 3 months with plenty of arguing ..you get to figure out peoples motives..

i do tend to put the of terms highly educated people put in their posts into the dictionary to understand what they are saying and use the words around what they say to figure out context..remember in these online venues people tend to be a lot less civil to those they disagree with ..then they would be in ...oh wait this is 2012 .. people have forgotten what civility is pretty much everywhere.

ok onto the enlightened thing..when someone tells me they are enlightened .. i ten not to believe them..generally if they are using the term to impress you and be recognized as some type of authority ..blah..to truely be enlightened you can't take yourself so seriously.

[HURRITT ENYETO]

Nugget is a street slang term, basically it means little nob-head,etc. Its a derogatory term and Lord Sideous knows this, which makes it all the more amusing for him when everybody is falling over themselves to be called a Nugget.

Also sid is from WA (western OZ) which has some of the largest gold mines in the world. Mines are everywhere in that neck of the woods...

I would say the the use of nugget is a multi used expression from Sid perspective....also Ozzies, have a way with words that are often multi used. I myself have been Q's when I have used certain slang...when I am not being insulting.
