True or not true? That is the question. No rule was broken in this case, yet rules were clearly broken in the previous instance that I reported. This thread shall suffice for the grievance.

I will even prove your biased that I have long suspected. thanks for the report User is online steve Icon Tao Bum!

It's a bit unusual to see posts like this from them though both can get passionate. I don't think they're trolling, rather genuinely bothered that the OP's info is inaccurate. Mjjbecker seemed to do a very good job of challenging their critical and unhelpful posts for all to see, so I'm not going to take any official mod action unless the trend continues. I do appreciate the report, however. Steve God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

So a murderer murders only once, but is an upstanding citizen the rest of the time, is that a legitimate excuse to allow a murder to slide? I know you guys have your own little clique, and it is really evident in some of the sort of group thinks that take place. I don't demand that you do anything, but trolling is trolling regardless of prior actions or who is doing the speaking.

I only mentioned they are longstanding members because you mistakenly called them new members in your report. Neither of them posted a personal insult. They were criticizing the veracity of the OP's statements and his knowledge of the subject matter, albeit a bit more aggressively than I think is necessary - still not reason to put their posts in the pit or consider harsher action. In any case, before I had an opportunity to take any action, mjjbecker did a very nice job of calling them out on their non-constructive and critical approach. I much prefer to see members police each other than to take action as a moderator. As much as possible, I like to see the board take care of itself - wu wei. It's only when the rules get broken that I feel obligated to intervene. I think you are looking for something that isn't there. What you see as a clique is really just my effort to engage in "hands off" moderation. And then again, I may be acting in a biased manner and not recognize it - I try to be very aware of that and to moderate fairly but I'm flawed. I am having a great day so far - got to work out with my training partner (taiji 2 person set, some ji applications, fixed and moving step da lu drills, 8 palm changes, and xingyi 5 elements) then had some wonderful Taiwanese wulong tea. Now I'm going to watch the Ravens play the Colts! I hope you have a great day as well.

I guess the well being of the planet isn't included in that. hmmm.

Then how can the report be countered? Should we take a vote on the matter, is that feasible? Or perhaps since you mentioned a singular report, 2 reports that confirm "Joe's" malicious report was intended only for self serving and egotistical purposes.

Yes Kyoto Protocol was in the "GENERAL FORUM" where there was a politically correct debate taking place. Global Revolution was in the GENERAL FORUM where a lot of people, inluding myself, took personal time to compile a lot of important information. You obviously took offense to my suggestion of gullibility. Maybe you could reaccess your decision in. If we are limited to only talking of our selves and not things that matter then what is the point in even having a "GENERAL FORUM" to discuss and yes debate topics that are important to everyone.

I think we were talking about something similar here: http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/19745-tradition-and-lineages/

Well since no answer is forthcoming, I guess we can only speculate. A.) A really gullible mod bought into Joe's BS B.) Joe is a mods puppet C.) ? I don't know which would be worse.

The only reason I could determine that the events of Joeblast being owned coinciding in both threads that got moved, so probably the mod that moved it is really JoeBlast. It wouldn't suprise me that misinformation agents would ooze their way here.

Yeah, you was probably arguing with the MOD's puppet, so many fakes everywhere. Both threads of ownage got moved.

Joe, So wtf happened? You got completely owned and cry to mod to move thread? Such a child. Or are you really a puppet of a MOD?

The idea is to cut away all those meaningless idea's and discover what you really are. Then you strengthen that, you aren't building up on whatever you consider as you. It's all the same regardless what religion. Just different kinds of pointers, guides, and interpretations. Someone also said the method of presentation, which I agree.

You must have failed at Buddhism. There really is nothing for you to attain. As long as you want to be this or want to be that, you're missing the whole point. What you consider as you, is actually the ego trying to claim shit. No offense intended from my assumption.

Just in case you haven't made the correlation yet, more substrate = more places to bind.

You can prob just make another circle.

I wasn't trying to pin it on any one thing, I was presenting it in rebuttal to your assumption that co2 is not expressed within the formula for acid rain, H2O(l) + CO2(g) <==> H2CO3(aq), which is the base of the formulation. Not until later do the other gases bind with the "substrate"

I wouldn't consider copy/pasting to be technical. Comprehending it all on the other hand, which have have really failed to do. Your failed attempt at denying acid rain being expressed with carbon is telling in and of itself that you are pretending.

I don't think you can have true balance without recognizing the heart. That would be really lopsided imo.

What is even more perturbing to me is that he seems to know about some spiritual work yet seems to have a gaping hole in his heart.

I think this attitude about having more than others puts you even further from any spiritual truths. That can be a lot of structure built on a perceived reality that equates to but a single aspect of actuality. I can't see why Joe comes to a spiritual forum to preach materialism?

It's a sad when lobbyist wear the guise of scientists. What some people will do to have more, like it makes them better or something.
