~~~~~Mod message~~~~ Isimsiz Bizi it is really disappointing to see you continuing to post insults right after warnings and suspensions. You are a previously banned member and moderators have been in communication with you for months since your return. Treat the members here with respect Do not post personal insults Let me be very clear. No more warnings. Next time it's a one month suspension. ~~~~~Mod message~~~~~

Yes Steward and Moderator positions are available. Please enquire if you want to help

Happy 2014 everyone My dad believes that too. And last new year we played music but didn't have dinner and we ended up playing quite a bit of music in 2013 but didn't eat together much. So today I'm cooking a roast and taking it to my parents Plus it's the new moon so I can practice yoga by having a rest day

So it seems that the Kunlun book is currently unavailable. I've still got my 1st edition, but I gave my copy of the 2nd one away and never got around to getting another copy Anyone know the story here?

Calling something propaganda is insulting Treat the other members here with respect.

"Noticed" this book in my local New Age bookstore when visiting the owner to wish him merry christmas In the 1st chapter the author unintentionally discovers a teahouse and after trying to learn more from the people then has a dream about a mountain ... (yuan fen as was mentioned) I really think I am going to enjoy this book _/\_

Your choice. Peace to you.

"Edited by shanlung, Yesterday, 10:09 PM." The posts are still basically the same No - You wrote a really great explanation of what happened in this thread. Presented your opinion really well, and I actually agree with your position. Yes - Calling someone a piece of shit is unacceptable Would you like me to move posts 34 onwards into the pit and drop this thread back into the past? If not edit them again today. Obviously I don’t want to suspend you but a moderator request via pm for an obvious insult should not also need a post in the thread plus another post as well - all requesting the same action.

Many people care more about how others feel, than how they feel themselves. ( Is this thread full of empaths ?) This comment reminded me of another thread http://thetaobums.com/topic/9164-corrupt-a-wish/?p=108503 Corrupt a Wish is a somewhat fun game (a bit like kicking a sandcastle) but it tends to leave you with a feeling of:- "Ha Ha Ha, Yes! I successfully stuffed that persons wish .... errr. .. mmmmm .... :(" Unlike the haiku chain where the joy comes from cooperative creation, not destruction.

I can understand why you would feel that way, and after this morning, sadly there are some people where I feel that way too. Most of the people on TTB practice different systems, often fundamentally different and incompatible systems. Perhaps the only thing we have in common is that we are on this site together. I think most 'bums try hard to respect each others choices and try to find enough common ground to have meaningful discussions. No personal attacks is a simplification, of the more nebulous treat other members with respect. Sometimes the words we chose hurt each other - but it should never be intentional.

A bit of Facebook news (who remembers our "dislike" option )

Fair enough, I think you answered my questions btw - I read that reply as Do you like the controversy you generate? - I don't have much respect for systems and paths that I don't see as meaningful or generating meaningful results via practice. I only respect paths that are able to be studied and validated under scientific and or medical observation. Do you want to insult people here? - I speak my mind honestly, and I try not to personally insult others in the process.
