I don't know sometimes really strict rules are all the majority of people can handle with regards to religion. The majority of people don't even like to waste time thinking about religion or spirituality. If pestered they may go through the motions of a quick ceremony but back to "real life" Some individuals are more questioning and are drawn to religions that encourage such free thinking. But if I was attempting to govern a huge population encouraging everyone to act as they see fit could be REALLY interesting especially with a low average level of education. I feel most religions tend toward discoraging free thinking and just following rules for this reason. They are gathering a mass of people under a banner, not encouraging individual expression.

it's all good, discussion is the reason for this thread. Moderating is a big learning curve for all of us. People will want to test us out, we will want to test how our response are received. Mistakes will be made. These things happen when learning. We rarely agree on much here anyhow But eventually things will settle down and become routine. People won't even notice there are moderators.... at least that is the plan

Thanks for comments The guidelines are our moderator notes on how we will try to act and work out what we are doing. The Insult police is pretty much all anyone will need to worry about.

Great book. Unfortunately I lent mine, to the owner of an occult bookstore no less, and it was never returned

While there are too many uncontroled variables to be 100% sure. I feel it helps with :- Flu symptoms Skin conditions eg tinea, a wart, cracked heels ! , sebaceous cysts (although I'm leaning more towards diet on that one.) General energy levels Refreshing sleep I usually toss it in a sock and just wear it to bed. My pattern seems to be every few days. Then I feel good and don't bother. A few days later I decide to put it on for sleeping again. I was very skeptical and I am actually surprised I am still using it. But I am very happy to have the zapper I would test it out on my partners cold sores but then I would not be able to use it

I use a Terminator II Zapper.

It's staring me in the face *slap* The confucian element is heaven. Rules, regulations, offices, duties. And that would give us our triumbrant of classic Chinese religious interrelationships Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian.

Gossamer sprang to mind. Did we ever manage to help there? As did the healing section. Otherwise not sure what to do with that poll so someone will have to tell me the results

Perhaps it was although I don't think Sean is retiring, he just has a busy life. My silhouette is back in black now, weird and then having posted that it goes back to transparent. I upgrade from weird to bizarre

ROTFLMAO Astral condoms required

Agreed for sure.

The problem is intent. i.e you could have chosen not to use fuck. But you did. and probably for the purpose of inciting more of a response than you would have otherwise. That worked. Could the point have been made without swearing. Probably. Was it used exclusively on purpose. Yes. Were you responding to other posts and escalating. You say so and that one is a real problem that can really escalate into flame wars. Someone else nibbled and then this one was a large bite. We can understand why Stig felt the need to make a post. Can you? Should he have let it slide for you or someone else to test things out with a more blatant test? It's almost an hour now. I am seriously getting cranky and have to go back to bed, sorry For what it's worth I did at least find your post funny. But if my partner wakes up and wants to take me shoping things will not be pretty. Still I am happy for some discussion on this to gather opinions.

He use to be a black Silhouette. I thought it was chrome just being weird... or lack of sleep

and the little fishing example BTW you own me 46 min of missed sleep, thanks

Good points Lets take it here so as not to derail a fun thread Forum and Tech Support

There have been a lot of profane attacks from certain members recently that have gone unaddressed over the past months. It is something we have been discussing with Sean. It's a tough subject. Honestly fuck is quite multipurpose and while we have been expecting such test. Your post was enough to catch most of our attention and look at your previous posts. It was noted that it was out of character. Still until things settle down, Stigs friendly reminder was quite friendly. and at 4:30 am (local time too) There are some moderation guidlines being fleshed out and we can quite happily post them into tech support once we have an idea about what we are doing. (Just Mal not Mod Squad in this one, my own thoughts after looking at the situation without chatting to the others) edited for typos it's 8:30am and I've not had much sleep since SereenBlue got me thinking about comics and up all night looking at art edit again (and again) No it was another one who noticed it at 4:30am Stig was around 7:30 I've fed my cats, hopefully that will keep them quiet and I'm going back to bed night all

Yes I find it hard to tell if a lot of the symbolism is just "Chinese culture" or "hidden meaning" We will learn a lot of Buddhist stuff in Journey to the West, be afraid If we want a pure Taoist story we will have to trach down pdf's of White Tiger Green Dragon or Seven Taoist Masters: A Folk Novel of China

Nice 1. Ponder it and you will go from to

At last I recognise a reference. The beautifull blue skined kali And that number 72 again

all good

Explore the unknown, that's always fun

Orange Tang and bananas.... o.k. Actually it might be nicer than it sounds but I've always wanted to use this post icon

yes subtle reference missed

I missed this one the first time Blasto and mikaelz ROFL too funny I use to have to wear a name tag and combined with a poor memory I was forever wondering if I knew these people of if they had just read my name while I wasn't looking
