Jim is not teaching for obvious reasons. And, as far as I can tell Kosta is not involved with your group. Call me crazy, but that tells me you don't have a teacher.

Makes sense to me. My nanny lived in a wooded area, she had a little poodle named Peanut. She took him out to potty before bed and owl swooped down and snatched him up, never to be seen again. There was not a sound from the owl or Peanut. She said she'd have not known anything about it had there not been light shining from the livingroom window out on the lawn where Peanut was taking care of his business.

I wondered that too. You know, no teacher and all...

Not a reincarnation, he's a first time member of the bums. I think.

I am a woman if that's what you are asking. I have known F&L for a while and am glad he found his way here. The taco question is based on a taco bot in a chatroom. Personally, I'd rather eat tacos that talk to them.

No problem. I moved it because you are asking for advice/suggestions on protection and it is not specific to any Daoist practice or system.

Welcome to the bums You seem very familiar to me in a less wordy way. Tell me, what does the taco say about TDB?

Thanks for the pic, it is a lovely photo of the mountains. Your argument was specific to the contents of the PDF, as was my question. I think you might be side-stepping my question, but that's alright. Thanks anyway... I am not trying to pick on Jim, but that is not half lotus. It might not even be quarter lotus.

Great answer! Do you intend to answer or spam the thread more? Let me clarify... There is no photographic evidence of Jim being grounded by wires on his perineum or of him sitting bare-assed in dirt. Why shouldn't one assume that the visual representation in the PDF is how it is done?

The photos of Jim do not show him to be grounded or bare-assed in the dirt. Why shouldn't one assume that the visual representation in the PDF is how it is done?

Look into Krav Maga and practice your running skills. I am moving this to the rabbit hole. Group studies is for in-depth study and analyzing literary works or philosophical discussion.

I have already stated there is no way to know for sure whether he did or he did not. I will not use super mod powers to assist in member arguments, ever.

For the record, the last edit on each post is by you. It is hard to tell what transpired really. The posts are hidden, so it doesn't matter.

I do not believe it does unless he has the person doing the quoting on ignore as well.

Do you ever experience these things without holding your breath? If so what are the results? Same? Different? Different how?

I have updated your permission set. I will say it again so that everyone is clear, staff does not recommend, encourage or condone the editing of other members' posts in your PPD. If the content is unwanted you may hide it.

Well, the template I used for creating your PPD is fairly new, so the permission sets may have changed over time. 小梦想 has been here since 2014, so his permissions might be a little different based on when it was set up. I will take a look at your permissions in a little bit, I have a quick errand to run. I am curious though... Why does it matter? You do not allow anyone to post in your PPD and if they do slip by the lock while you are posting, you hide the replies. Does editing seem like a better option? It is really not recommended or encouraged.

Members do have the ability to edit every post in their PPD. I am not seeing malicious intent, after all the posts are now forever out of sight. Everyone remember, the risk of posting in a person's PPD is that it can be edited or hidden even though we ask that folks refrain from editing and to hide posts if they are unwanted in the thread. A PPD is your own little corner of the www, staff does not usually get involved unless absolutely necessary so moderation tools are necessary for clean up.

Members with a PPD are allowed to hide others posts in their own PPD, and that is exactly what happened in this case. The posts were not edited, they were just removed from view of those without the proper permissions set.

Jim recommends starting slow and building up. You say no, wait for retirement and mediate 10 hours a day bare assed in the dirt. How is anyone to know what was really taught and by whom if what is coming out about Mo Pai is not consistent? What makes your word any more credible than than the next guy/gal?

No, they were not reported. And should you decide to report them now the report swill not carry much weight because of your statements above. I have read the thread and know what leads where. The dots are not that hard to connect, just as my fellow mods and admin do. You are welcome, and thank you.

The others were not reported. Members are generally off of staff's radar if a beacon does not go off.

Let me be straight with you... You are in no position on this forum to dictate anything to anyone. You will never be in a position to do so and it is very unlikely that any suggestion you put forth regarding action against another member will be taken into consideration given the way you have presented yourself and carry on and on. Like I said find a way to get along, please.

Your complaint and excuse were based on your trying to help Hancock and BES interjecting, not you trying to ask questions. You can never cry again about others not staying on topic in one of your threads lest you possibly be labeled a hypocrite. You are still off topic, btw... You were reported for personally attacking another member. You were asked to take a little break and cool off. IIRC you told me to shove the mod team notice up my ass. If you want staff off your back and to take what you say into consideration, you sure have a funny way of going about it. Trust me, the mods and admin are your friends. This is an open forum. If you are unable to filter out the background noise then PM or a discussion in your PPD are likely the best options for you and your sensitive nature. Well, it is a good thing I am not worried about what you think, nor am I interested in your opinion of me or my development. This is not about Drew. This is about you calling names and flaming folks who are trying to lend insight to you and others. You need to realize this forum was not created just for you. Find a way to peacefully make the forums work for you without attacking and insulting others or you will be facing some unwanted time away from TDB. I do not know any other way to put it to you nicely.
