Re: [Zen] Zen in The Middle East?

[Kathleen Knight]

Fudo, "Pussy"  "Gonadless" and "Bitchin" all in one email.  As a gonadless possessor of a pussy, perhaps you will consider me a bitch for pointing out the pejorative nature of your language, re: women.  You would do well, if indeed you do dislike women, to at least read today's earlier post suggesting that vulgarity be used in a creative manner.  These terms are not worthy of your otherwise obvious intelligence. Now you folks have me being judgmental <sigh>.  "Breathing in, I am at peace.  Breathing out, I smile." <grin> Kathleen (abodhi2b) ----- Original Message ----- From: fudo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 11:40 AM Subject: Re: [Zen] Zen in The Middle East? jayryunen wrote: > > However, perhaps it would be appropriate for those interested in provocative, > combative language to start their own Zen site... > > Blessings, > Ryunen > > Dear Ryunen-san, I do love you. But this comment shows a considerable lack of Awareness. This forum is a forum started by Al(yes that Al) exactly to be a place for provocative and combative language. Ooops it is you that are in the wrong place. It is your expectation that a "Zen list" will be all sweetness and light. It was not the expectation of the moderator/creator of this present list. If this list does not meet your expectations, It would be the proper thing for you to remedy the problem, not to recommend someone else fix it for you. It is my suggestion that those of you who cannot be tolerant of sometimes colorful language to go to one of the other zen groups on Yahoo and end up with the empty mailbox most of them will provide you with, or start a "pussy Zen" group, and watch it slowly die like all the other gonadless zen lists have. This list may be many things, but it is the most active zen list on Yahoo. It is hard to say anything if no one is listening. It is hard to hear something if no one is talking. Before we all start talking about how to improve or change the list, perhaps we should remember that when we are hip deep in alligators that it is hard to remember the purpose of the exercise was to drain the swamp. The purpose of this exercise is to   allow communication. It is the most successful list at doing that for Zen on Yahoo. I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. If it ain't to your taste, go find something else that works that is...if there is nothing else that works either create something that works yourself, or put up with some noise to get what you really want. Again I say to a fellow zen traveler...quit your bitch'n and fix the problem. It you your problem you fix it.
