  1. Why would you think it is about you, seth? what is snide about it?
  2. I never thought of suspensions as punishments. I thought of them as reminders to be in the community in good faith. Like sometimes when I get activated by something, I take myself out for a walk to regain perspective, calm down, find my relaxed self again. Agree with you Mal. If a ‘bum is just unable to treat others with respect.... well should they be a “‘bum” ?
  3. Practice, lifestyle, and personal preference

    Times in practice when I cannot eat meat nor drink alcohol nor coffe. Bodymind says NO. Just simply says NO. Othertimes I want to party, bodymind says YEAH, but then later it says OHGODNOWHYDIDIDOTHAT, but then it feels ok again. The rules come from the outside, only because they arent coming from the inside. Once the inside gets a heard, it can set the pace, then the outside rules disapear from view.
  4. how to add a friend

    nice thread title!
  5. Cutting Back On Meat And Adding Shilajit

    here's an old tb thread on shilajit: http://thetaobums.com/topic/2254-exotic-supplement-experience/?hl=shilajit
  6. Instead of making more rules, more detailed rules, and being more rule focused... why dont we try to go with gatitos ideas of speaking in friendship as the forum guideline to which we aspire.
  7. Right Wing War Against LGBT's

    thankyou for the reminder.
  8. Carrying baggage forward from week to week, day to day, so that you get a little vendetta going against a poster and seek to undermine them and their experience of the board. This is a drip drip drip personal attack and one that is too labour intensive to be moderated. Mods dont want to suspend someone for three days, every few days, or for a week, every other week, those that habitually take the liberty to undermine co members that dont fit their mould. Carrying baggage forward toward posters is against forum rules. It is very very attacking behaviour. It is cruel.
  9. Lack of respect for others. Accusing rather than asking. Haranguing rather than conversing. Assuming and presuming rather than listening. Speaking as if from a podium above others, instead as if in equal friendship. Exploding personal issues all over other people, ie over reacting. Refusing to daialogue after impugning others. Impugning others by speaking about them, instead of to them, in a spirit of open enquiry. Believing oneself to be the holder of the truth, and undermining the intelligence and perceptions of others without looking too closely at what they might actually be saying or embodying. Assuming the worst - being cycnical about others. Making others feel unwelcome. Having no sense of humour or heart toward those with whom one disagrees. Snide remarks. Taking pot shots from under cover. There are so many ways that attack takes place.
  10. ~This thread is being reported rather a lot, as one that is lacking civility and maturity and respect. If this situation doesnt improve then members involved will be subject to suspension without further notice. If by any chance you are unable to discern the lack of civility herein, please look more closely and take the opportunity for close reflection on your tone and content and attempt a wider vision of sensitivity. Perhaps you were not aware that the way you are gossiping about/labelling dawei is very poor form/insensitive/ runs counter to the spirit of this forum ~ mod team

  15. I read this book. Very worth reading. Wanderin alone one can find a lot of 'disembodied liars' as YaM u once phrased it. The answer to the problem outlined in this book is lineage.
  16. Articles section - use of

    I think you got an answer about this from SereneBlue, who moved the posts.. Agree with your understanding. Poems sub is a nice idea too, though the amount of subs is an issue for some.. they could easily profilerate endlessly...
  17. Trolling and Off-topic disruptions

    When do you like to be ignored?
  18. Takaaki's "American Taoism"

    ~ takaaki, questioning, debating, challenging is what this discussion forum is for. Disrespecting members is against the rules. You have been reported for belittlling and demeaning the participants of this thread. Please limit yourself to debating the topic at hand rather than the character or intelligence or nature of the posters discussing.~ mod team
  19. Trolling and Off-topic disruptions

    ignored in a welcoming way, like a stale donut might be. maybe.
