[Zen] Re: FW: Amazon book

Bill;

Couldn't refrain myself and express an observation which has nothing to do with 
thread about Karma.It seems as there isn't any problem to say in public 
something positive to ED but it's seems as it was a problem of doing so when he 
clearly verbally abused me in public. As a result putting in that way in motion 
the wheel invitation to other members do the same at any time. And I know this 
for sure as I had a previous experience in a zen forum about it.  You may be 
very smart and inteligent but you're cold like an ice.  

Mayka
