So I can say what I like now ... fine.

Well ... modesty forbids me commenting.

No please, no, not that! my friend

is it dishonourable to be a world champion?

i was thinking more a triple summersault and pike ... a perfect set of points and an olympic gold ... that sort of dive ...

Its a relief to me for sure.

I dove of course.

Unfortunately I am no longer a mod so will have to leave that to others.

Not that that should make any difference for moderation its still a rule breach.

Well it certainly came across as belittling and patronising, only you can say if that was intended.

Was it intended that way?

'sonny' then 'kid' a bit patronising don't you think?

start a haiku with last line of one before whatever it is.

This is an internet board and not 'the world'. I am impressed (genuinely) by your passion for this issue and think you should try a political campaign ... or run for parliament.

Thank you ... that's the most level headed comment for a while.

yes I tried but he's too scared to pick up ...

come here, little bird.. my sandwich lacks a tasty, yet crunchy filling.

Depends why they were posting that material.

What's that internet law about he who mentions Hitler loses the argument. if you posted such stuff I would hope you would get banned ... for tolling as you would just be being provokative ...

Droylsden is in Tameside so it's posh.

Quite young to lose your virginity.

From Wiki: my bold.

What were the Tibetans practicing when Padma Sambhava arrived?

i find the idea of direct teachings from the Sambhoga Kaya much more convincing than the idea that the Pali Canon is the whole story. Any system has to have renewal through realised teachers like Marpa, Milarepa, Gamopopa and the Karmapas. Without it, it becomes empty like Christianity has become empty (IMO). And i mean empty as in nothing not shunyata.

Yes of course you are right but Tibetan Buddhism has a number of strands ...and as a culture has the influences that I mentioned.
