Similar to Bill but with some added on: There are times in which while getting involved in a thread, it's very difficult for me to read all posting coming over that thread due to linguistic barriers. Posting seem to be sent as at higher speed that my capabilites are of given a response within the Buddha Mind wave. And then all becomes a real mess as I get dragged down by the dualism born in the self from most postings sent during hot discussions. As a practicioner is interesting to observe myself mind reactions over all this as most of times. I don't agree or disagree with ED posting as his posting tends to be more into questioning and pasted links. And sometimes to attack or even be offensive towards all those who won't agree with him. Other times ED questioning is great as this role he plays keeps the forum going. My two cents sent for whatever may be worthy Mayka --- On Sat, 5/3/11, Bill! <[email protected]> wrote:

I'm much more likely to post if I don't agree. But...just because I don't post a reply doesn't mean I agree. Sometimes I just don't care to get involved in the discussion. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], mike brown <uerusuboyo@...> wrote: > > ED, > > Yes.
