“bangs”?? Google: bang noun plural noun: bangs 1. … 2. NORTH AMERICAN a fringe of hair cut straight across the forehead. Righto, then yes, bangs.

PWT distinguishes between “religious Daoism” (道教 dao4 jiao1) and “philosophical Daoism” (道家 dao4 jia1, this one is your professor’s branch). In the forum heading, it says 道家學說 (dao4 jia1 xue2 shuo1), so @wandelaar I think this forum was originally set up to discuss “philosophical Daoism”.

Well, it’s their indigenous religion, so I’d say that’s Taoism. These are the two branches of PWT, popular western Taoism. PWT is a new religion recently formed in the west, vaguely based on the native Taoism.

I don’t like personal attack jokes, my DL post was a reaction to that. DL used to be so popular, I too used to like him. Then lots of negative info started coming out. Idk. I feel manipulated by changes in the media reflecting changes in who’s in power in world politics. I deleted my post.
