Dear Sebastian,

again, this is an email list. This is fighting with sponge sword,in a 
pretend place.  I do not really see much point in pulling a blow with a 
pillow. No one dies here, no one stays longer then they want to.

It is the longest running most active Zen list on Yahoo for a reason.

No one gets picked on here until and unless they come on like (excuse 
the expression) God's gift to Zen. Then whatever force is needed or even 
can be applied here is often not even enough to get them to see the 
folly of their ways. Many who come here with this sort of an attitude, 
get a look in the mirror,and learn something and stay. Many more come 
on, drop their load of crap and when someone tells them what they 
dropped is a load of crap they leave because we are "too forcefull".

This list is not real life. When I say *whack* no one is struck. 
Remember when you get your undies in a bundle that this is not real 
life. It is all virtual.

I remember a saying I learned in grade school, sticks and stones may 
break my bones, but words can never hurt me. One cannot be hurt by words 
alone unless they mistake words for real life. Unless they mistake 
saying something is done for it actually being done. (Mission 
accomplished?). If one has one's head up one's ass this far, it is not 
nice to let them think they are blind.

Everyone who moans about how hard this is, in my opinion, a little nuts. 
This is not real life. No one is really killed, at worst they can only 
have their ego bruised. An ego they pretend not to have in the first 
place. If you think this is difficult try living in  the real world. 
This list as harsh as it is, is a walk in the park compared to what 
these "fragile" people are going to face just walking out their real 
front door.

If what you have cannot survive in the real world, it is not real. If it 
cannot survive here where all weapons are made of sponge it has not a 
prayer of survival in the real world.

Get real.

Be Well

Fudo
