The concept is often thrown around like one.

I didn't read most of the thread, just the one I responded to. I didn't see
any flame war, fill me on the details.

Welcome to the list. Quite often people don't answer the concept or intent
of a post, but instead try to find something wrong with a sentence to
respond to. Happens everyday, my eyes don't water over it anymore

If I don't know them or have some sort of relationship with them, maybe.
I would not take anyone seriously that says they love me because I am at a
rave, or on the idm list, or because I like a certain style of tea. I would
think there was something wrong with them, or that they were full of piss.

Love between someone you know..sure
Peace sure
Unity? --- To what? Strangers? A party? A dj spinning?
Respect? --- It's something you earn. Not something you automatically
receive.
The fact that everyone feels like that just because they are under the
umbrella of a rave (away from the cold cruel world), I don't think so.

So does greed.

Haha...he's keeping score.

Tell that to all the people that have been swindled under the pretense of
love. Sorry I was never a hippy. I would be suspicious if I didn't know
the person well, and even then I would wonder...he/she probably wants
something

Good Luck sounds fine.

If they were Scottish beer drinking mates it would be fine.
