Lame Horse Hobbled into Sunset(Some Zep Content)

Happy Trails PaleRider,
After posting some vehemently false, insulting and inappropriate 
material,
PaleRider quickly unsubbed from FBO shortly thereafter.
By the way, contrary to PaleRider's accusations,
I'm not a member of OTO or the other group he mentioned. 
I don't prosetylize for any religious group. I don't believe in 
trying to
persuade anyone to join one's own church or any other church for that 
matter.
I believe that all persons should be free to make up their own minds 
about
what church they want to join, if any.

I think that if any studious individual takes the time to demystify 
the
unknown, that person may easily overcome personal fear of matters 
that on
the surface appear frightening. In doing so, anyone may thereby gain
objective knowledge that can give him or her the power to sustain 
heartfelt
faith in a gentile manner. 

As do most of you who subscribe to this list, I happen to dearly love 
Led
Zeppelin's music.
However, 
I simply refuse to suffer in silence the abuse slung at me from 
PaleRider.
Here are the facts.
My original personal religious foundation is Presbyterian.
I am baptized in that faith.
I enjoy privately studying comparative contemporary alternative 
religions,
with a primary emphasis on Welsh-Celtic, neo-Avalonian ideas. Joseph
Campell's and Carl Jung's ideas have been inspiring to me.

I lead a quiet life and I don't propose that anybody do anything 
unless
they want to and it doesn't hurt themselves or the people around them.

I hope that someday PaleRider sorts out his confused emnities, sets 
aside
whatever's bothering him, and honestly finds the courage to replace 
his
anger with peace and brotherhood foremost in his heart.

At any rate I think that most of us agree we're part of this list 
because
we thought that Led Zeppelin music appreciation and discussion were 
our
primary focus. I've been keen on Zep since Halloween of '69.


The occasional side trip into posting about Rush and Aerosmith are not
withstanding of course.
(Insert grins and giggles here)
