I would have *no problem* with this "time out" policy becoming a standard, or with it being applied to me. If I hit 10% of total posts for any significant period in the future, *PLEASE* cut me off. Because he's made an even more severe offer (to leave the group entirely if people want him to), I suspect Shemp would also have no problem with this policy. But I think all of us suspect that the two biggest "over-posters" here are NOT going to make a similar offer. Judy will scream that it's all a ploy to silence her and sparaig will say he just can't help himself because of his latest alphabet disorder. The rest of us can talk all we want about cutting down the number of egoranters who dominate the group, but these two are just going to keep doing what they've always done. They won't change because THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG with dominating an entire forum with their own self-obsessed posts. I don't know what the real solution to all of this is, but I do agree that it's a problem. Given the threads that I first participated in today, I just find it fascinating that the two people who most vehemently argue that one should never exert any effort or control in meditation ALSO refuse to exert any effort or control over their own behavior outside of meditation.
