       PERSONAL WELCOME MESSAGE FROM NIKOLAS & IMPORTANT PROTOCOL R
       ULES
       By: Genetic Detective Date: May 3, 2019, 10:52 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "Greetings, rube-scoops, rats, mymes, alikens, young loves, old
       ladies, mommas boys, rumpkins, PC sonsofbitches and all other
       beings who have volunteered to take part in this experiment.
       This group, as most of you know by now, will offer readers of my
       book The Manson File: Myth & Reality of an Outlaw Shaman an
       interactive supplement to the soon to be released new edition of
       the book and an opportunity to be alerted to updates in research
       on that subject and to share research relevant to this field of
       study. Although I will send messages to be posted here when time
       allows, the group‘s operation will be handled by the admins for
       my social media platforms. Please respect their wishes as they
       are volunteering their time. We are inaugurating this circle on
       the day Manson prefers to celebrate as the day of his coming
       into being for obvious metaphysical reasons. Before it formally
       commences, and before you post, please TAKE TIME to consider
       these rules of protocol. Yes, that‘s right – rules! The first
       expectation we have is common courtesy and civilized
       comportment. Unlike many other places in the online
       Mansonsphere, there will be absolutely zero toleration here for
       discourtesy, insult, trolling, flame wars, ad hominem attacks,
       back-biting, innuendo, or any other toxic or malignant behavior.
       Any such monkey business will lead to being sent without
       privileges to the permanent solitary of the blocking or banning
       hole immediately. This is neither a place to glorify or demonize
       anyone, but a clearing house for relevant historical
       information. This is neither an ATWA fan club nor a victim
       sanctification shrine. So cool it on the hero worship and the
       maudlin sentimentality, both are obstacles to truth. If all you
       have to say is "Charlie is gnarly!" or "Tate is great!" there
       are plenty of other places where you can express such subjective
       opinions. As my work about this subject has never solely been
       focused on the crimes involved, do not expect this to be
       exclusively a true crime forum or an ongoing obsessive
       hairsplitting analysis of the various felonies committed during
       the 1969 crime spree. This is NOT dedicated to TLB alone, but
       the whole spectrum of the Manson phenomenon. While we will
       frequently cover that crucial area of the murders as a matter of
       course, we will also explore the spiritual, musical,
       philosophical, political, and pop cultural dimensions of this
       trip with equal attention. Links to products and other blogs and
       social media will be deleted as soon as they are detected,
       unless approved by the admins of this group. IMPORTANT: Do not
       block other members whose opinions you disagree with, or for any
       other reason, because that totally screws up the flow of
       communication and inhibits understanding. If somebody harrasses
       you or personally attacks you, please let the admin know and
       they will be dealt with, but blocking ruins the experience for
       all. Finally I urge you to engage an important quality of this
       little understood time warp in the universe, namely AWARENESS.
       Think before you post. Then think again. And please try to write
       from a calm and composed center without indulging in emotionally
       driven communication. Learn to agree to disagree. This will not
       be a forum for partisan politics of any kind. Neither personal
       sob stories about needing help for anything nor spamming about
       products you are selling will be tolerated. This is not
       collector‘s corner, so please don‘t set up shop to sell
       Mansonian memorabilia here. There are probably a few other
       hundred factors to be taken into account, but for now, that
       should suffice. Social media of any kind is an extemely flawed
       and fragmentary way to communicate on complex subjects, so do
       your best to communicate clearly, concisely and without rancor
       so a maximum of informative meaning can be gained by those who
       gather here. This group is only one method we will be using to
       connect readers to my work on this subject in a more interactive
       fashion, others will be announced when timely. Thank you all for
       your interest and your attention, and welcome to the ride.
       Blessings, Nikolas 11.11.17 CE"
