RPF: A Call to Return to Decency, Dignity, Humility and Respect

[Peatful]

We now represent the person of Ray Peat.

Im referring to the general quote of his of his life extended through us.

People will hear about him in the many years to come- and many will visit here: our beloved Ray Peat Forum.

Charlie has some basic terms of service.
I screenshotted below.



Im not talking about the “incel” that shows up here. Or the bot. Or troll.


Im talking about you- about me- those who participate pretty frequently on the forum.


Emulate Ray.
Kindness. Patience. Service. Nurture. Humor. Restraint. Healing. Truth. Hope. And Love.








We love you Ray.
Miss you terribly.

Please. We need to do better. This forum should set a higher standard, that's why we are all here. We have an awareness of living amongst the mainstream idiocy and we are forging a better path, the forum should reflect that. We should all be focused on carrying on this legacy, not quibbling about the details of why Ray should have lived longer.

Exactly,

Let's all honour the man by staying true to his legacy, an open-minded forum of serious discussion and moderation within reason. No trolling, no hijacking threads with nonsense and strife.

This would be great. I have stopped commenting in a lot of spaces, including this one, because of the snarky, vitriolic, ad hominem, trolling responses. Why throw pearls at swine, right? So I’ve kept my mouth shut. Perhaps this is a start of something new: humans being respectful, thoughtful. I’ll wait and see before jumping in again. Thank you for this post, OP. Appreciate it. Kindness, courtesy and respect are not too much to ask. I’m a GenXer and was raised with values and principles that differ from current generations, broadly speaking. Today, I see rampant narcissism (cluster B personality types?) and self-entitlement, and while I recognize that those traits are not present in each individual person, I have witnessed a pattern. It doesn’t bode well for society. I was raised with a sense of individuality but also having a sense of respect for others, treating others with dignity and respect. That is largely absent today, unfortunately. Anyway, I hope the forum can return to these values. They were more prolific in Ray’s generation, I think.

@professor_sue you should definitely continue to comment. I remember you well from your posts in the past, and have always enjoyed what you have to say. The forum needs people like you to continue to participate!

Neil Oliver, It's Remarkable How Many New Ways the Elite Have Concocted for Us to Die, Justified by Climate Change... - The Last Refuge

For his weekly monologue today, U.K pundit Neil Oliver looks at the climate change agenda, energy policy, and the constructs of how the new green agenda manifest to create new ways for people to die. We aren’t allowed the energy available from a century of gas beneath our feet here in Britain –...

Nothing like an 'Anti-Peat' thread to pull this all together. I understand the 'open discussion' concept, but to me, it just seems disrespectful to have a thread like that, and to give it that title. What's worse, is that those threads are some of the largest on the forum. No wonder Peat said in interviews he never visits this forum.

This was my journey of RP also. And I had no major health issues, but wanted to learn more. And still do. ;-) I am still meeting folks socially who are against sugar, amd they have metabolic issues, or tumours etc. . Argggg

I personally did not see the point of the Original thread “why RP did not live to be 140 years old” etc.... But many peeps seem to believe in their belief systems, Orthorexic much? Biochemistry is just one aspect of health. And peeps need to chill on their ‘attack’ of Ray’s situation, as he was living life to the fullest and in his creative zone, and professionally going against the “grain” of the medical mafia (Ling/Hillman...). Leading by example. Respect.

Highlighting these in light of the recent changes on the forum.
