I went through all of the book of revelation one at that site. SO hilarious.

http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/20314-hyok/page__pid__287783__st__0entry287783 Reread this thread, where hyok was suspended for 30 days for calling someone a "power hungry twerp". Compare that to this thread, where Seth Ananda posted 29 insults, and Sunya posted 4. Even Sunya's modest amount is 4x the amount of hyok. My issue here is not just getting my way, it's ensuring that the moderation here is fair. That is not too much to ask for. Hyok was even defending others when he said that...whereas Sunya was attacking and harassing. Yes, I am loud and annoying here lately...but please consider this, amongst everything else. If you can't even consider it, with a clear and fair mind, then step down from your position as moderator...

This was not at all obvious from your post.

Totally.

"Sunya", If your only intent is to come in here to disrespect and insult those who are trying to improve this forum, then remove yourself.

Of course it is!!!!!!!!!!!!! x100000! Mal, I am not some little kid who whines when he doesn't get his way, despite what you and others are assuming. What I am is someone who stands up for fairness and what's right, no matter the cost. If someone else were in my place here, I'd be just as adamant if not more so about the decision to suspend them for being 'provocative', and the decision to not suspend Sunya. Like you said before, I am absolutely "bewildered". My position will not EVER change on this subject. I sent this message in a PM immediately upon seeing your message here, and it IS my reply, forever. This entire thing has caused quite a bit of wounds which will not heal. This was totally unnecessary, and is directly your fault. I demand that you step down from your position. You obviously don't even have the time to be doing this job, much less the consideration when you do have the time.

This was discussed in the pit, and we did find that nothing can be said regarding women without a huge unconscious retaliation...from both men and women. I played a large part in those discussions, and it has been clear to me since then exactly how true this is. The unconscious reaction played a huge role in what led to me recently getting suspended for absolutely nothing. So yeah, enjoy your time here.

It truly is. Overlooking this fact is not wise. I'm with you, tulku. Witch should be suspended for that, and you should be suspended also for your response. Easy. What you said wasn't technically a death threat, since it required witch "binding, shackling, and dressing you up as a sissy maid" first...and I doubt she'd be capable of that. But it looks pretty bad when violence is discussed here no matter what. I will give another example to clarify: if someone said "Scotty I'm going to kill you." I should be able to respond, "if you actually came and tried to kill me, I'd kill you first." Because the first is the actual threat...the second is dependent upon the first person taking action, and isn't yet a real threat. Plus both of your scenarios were hypothetical...not actual. Witch isn't going to do that stuff to you...and you aren't going to do what you said, to her. No doubt the moderators will favor witch here, not doing anything about what she said...which is fucking disgusting. And perhaps I'm hurting your cause by sharing my opinion (which is controversial no matter what it is apparently)...sorry for that. Best of luck to you.

Illustrated Essentials of Musculoskeletal Anatomy I have used this in college quite a bit...really nice but it's mostly just muscles and bones. Really basic book. It lists the action that each muscle takes (for instance with biceps brachii, it does flexion of the elbow, supination of the forearm, and the short head flexes the humerus at the shoulder joint). It lists the nerve and nerve root (where it connects to the spine). Tells you how to palpate/feel around to find the muscle. Shows a black and white drawn picture of the body part in question. Tells exactly where the tendons of the muscle connect to the bones, etc...so for instance, if you want to align certain bony structures, you can just work certain muscles to achieve that effect by knowing where they're connected to (muscle energy technique). To stretch any muscle, you just move in the opposite way that the "action" is. So for biceps brachii: you extend the elbow, pronate the forearm, and extend the humerus at the shoulder joint. All of the muscles of the body connect to bones via tendons. The muscles connect to eachother via fascia. Anyway...might be a boring book but it's very clear for looking things up.

Okay. I was just thinking earlier when not on the forum how much of a fucking arrogant snob you are. Not calling you that here though, of course! The way you have been harassing me clearly shows how you're completley mentally unstable and too angry to think clearly. You need to take a break from the forum. You've been acting like a total drama queen, simply due to me asking for your suspension after you've broken the forum rules...you can't handle the heat??? Then don't star the fire (which you did, go back and read the thread)...what a fucking rape victim. Go cry about it. This is the kind of talk that is not worth suspension, that the moderators want to see here?????????????????? Besides the fact that they're insults...you have been clearly harassing me and refusing to stop. That is against the forum rules as well. Here are the rules in plain text: Also simplifying it: The rules you've clearly broken in this thread are bolded. I was lenient towards you in not bolding some things. Just because the moderators aren't enforcing these rules, does not mean they have ceased to exist.

Thank you SJ for having the integrity to admit it. _/\_

By copying and pasting the rules here???? Answering Ambrose's question clearly?

This place does have very specific rules. Also simplifying it:

I made this thread before I "worked it out". He needed to be suspended (since there ARE moderators and rules here currently), but it wasn't happening. So that's why. If it doesn't make sense to you, then I can't help. All I can say is: fuck off. I can also say: you still need to be suspended. If there were no moderators or rules, I'd settle it with you in my favorite way! But there are, so I can't...and can only expect the mods to do their fucking job. Here is a key part of the insult policy: Are they???

By the way...go back to the thread and see. I actually did work things out, and Seth chose to as well, instead of continuing.

Apparently you're incapable of grasping what I said...again. So I will just not answer your stupid question. Fuck off.

Why did he and others whine that I was "bullying" the Buddhists? The answer to both questions is because this forum has rules and we all want to see them enforced, so that relatively peaceful and productive discussion can ensue. Simple. Now piss off.

On the subject of being provocative: This is provocative as well as disrespectful, personally insulting, harassing, etc. Why is he still here? Moderators: someone please plainly answer this question.

His posts in this thread...clearly breaking the forum rules.

It's also crazy how Sunya is still not suspended. TOTALLY blows my mind.

Yeah, because insults are against the rules here. It's crazy that I had to resort to being so loud in order to get the moderators to act.

so i settled for better

You could say that again. Seriously. Wow, good example. That dude has been waaaaaay more provocative than me. Yet I don't want to see him suspended. Has provides an alternative point of view, which might be legitimate. This new precedent is ridiculous. Anyone can be seen as provocative here! And provocative isn't even a bad thing. Reacting to it in a way that breaks the rules IS. Stig, guess what…that's probably going to happen! This moderation team is not above it. They do not accept people disrespecting them and their decisions. You might as well quit, because it's obviously completely useless to attempt to engage these guys. You might want to speak to Sean directly and avoid my folly. Exactly. If there was no moderation, Seth and I would have worked things out easily. This forum functioned awesomely in the past without mods. It is in a much worse state these days BECAUSE of them. Funny. Or if the moderators did their jobs appropriately, it would have ended quickly with Seth getting suspended, and everyone moving forward. Instead, Mal, Apech and others wished to cause a shit storm here…and make it personal against me for no legitimate reason. The team needs a switch up. Yes, there are other moderators who don't seem to do much…who might be more useful. Mal needs to lose the position, and those others need to step up and have their attempt at moderating justly. Get the ones who are incapable out of there. It would work…maybe not so well in all cases. Take this one for example. Only 3 people as far as I know have supported me here…whereas tons of others felt the need to side with the Buddhist brigade and their supporters. So maybe it's a good idea…but the way I see things, it's very simple and requires little change: Have clear rules. If someone breaks the rules, suspend them. If it's a minor slip up, warn them once before suspending. No one should be suspended without a clear reason, showing a violation of the rules here. That is it…not hard at all. Unless we have moderators who are incapable of functioning objectively. The ones who are incapable shouldn't have the position. Soooo simple. Just my take on your ideas. (it's quite amazing that they haven't been addressed by any moderators yet…what is up with these people?)
