Doh! I thought I was being nice!
Sorry for my poor methods, Jusan... anything I have learned it has been after thickening my skin a little -- bracingt for the unveiling. This long name-calling is just an exercise. Words only. It is the first time it existed long on this list -- who do you think brought the name-calling koan here? Check the archives, usually it dies out in two posts... The stuff I have in me scares me more than anyone's words on this list ever would. This forum does not try to duplicate face-to-face talking. We are making the most of it. When I learn how to take AC's flaming (which given moderator status, is in fact somewhat one-sided) those skills help me get past my own demons. (his best flame to me had the following auto-generate note at the bottom: The Zen Forum is for the discussion of ZEN ideas, principles, and practice. Not for idle philosophizing. No personal flaming is tolerated.) I not only was instructed by my reaction to his flame, but also to the one-sided moderation. Both are pretty trivial things on a life-scale. The knowledge I'm after is not easily daunted or side-tracked. If I had an issue with harsh personal words, maybe it is the a sympton of a greater misunderstanding... If I don't like someones posts, I don't read their posts. I've done this with several posters. Don't like Al, or Me, and have nothing to learn from us? Feel no compassion to help us, either? Then I suspect that means there is something of us in you, that you must also have no compassion for yourself. Don't do it for us, do it for you. Or maybe i'm completely, totally, wrong on all this, too, and a big waste of your time. If so, I am sorry. But... BE SELFISH! Take what you can from this forum, there are hundreds of members. Leave the rest, poopy-head.

I joined this list to talk about Zen. Not listen to a bunch of people call each other names and see you can be the most sarcastic. If this group truly believes that one can "communicate" by such methods so be it. I see little to no respect for others here and everytime someone tries to bring up a subject they are nailed with name calling and told they are full of crap. there is no real communication of ideas, just an outlet for frustrated people. the real world does have rules. most of you that are ranting and raving would never do so to a person's face because if you did you wouldn't live very long. so, I'm outta here. what a waste of time this has been. -- Jusan (KC) *Question Everything and Choose Only what is Right for You* Noble Eightfold Path: Right View, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration, Right Livelihood Yahoo!
