Jimmy: Anyone who travels very far along this path realizes that oneness includes everything, even poo poo. The question that you might want to ask yourself is, "Who is it that poo poos poo poo or poo poos other poo poo-ers?" Seriously, please take good care of yourself; you are far more lovable than you realize.

Part of life, and even the spiritual paths, is to learn how to laugh.

Not only is the original comment here not useful in the forum (and perhaps a bit childish), but I suspect it's not even be the real jimmytantric. There was a similar post like this earlier and the actual jimmytantric complained that someone was using his name as a guest but that it was not him. For these reasons I am deleting the top half of this thread.

Are your words and actions meaningless? |

If I say this hammer is not useful for typing on my keyboard, have I judged the hammer? Should it not matter what I use to type with since we're all one?
hlgglflgl uilgiggil.......See? Doesn't work.

Hey Frank, have you ever moderated a forum?

Karen: No I haven't. I have been a manager though. It really irked me when other managers tried to shape people instead of allowing them to express themselves. I can totally understand LM's stance as poo poo comments are scraping the barrel but I was curious why it mattered to him if he thinks the infantile guest is IT playing a part? Bottom line is I don't really care; I'm just having fun creating debate!  |

Hey Frank, As per the goals that the creator of this site has either directly outlined or implied, as a moderator it is my job to keep the forum from being dominated by blatant disrespect, verbal abuse, or impersonating other members. I like to think that I generally allow for a great deal of leeway, and I see no problem with harsh words as long as they are coming out of respect. I am usually not quick to delete a post, but this case involved name calling without any sort of argument, seemingly only with the desire to cause trouble. If the person has a genuine criticism, then they are invited to make it in a slightly more adult fashion. Additionally, it was likely an impersonation of another member going on, which is against forum policy for obvious reasons. Does that mean there's anything wrong? Not to me. It's that person's job to make comments that are against forum conduct, and it is my job to moderate them, as the moderator. Nothing wrong with that from my perspective.... Who am I judging? I'm judging the behavior and conduct of the original poster. I have no bad feelings towards that poster, but that doesn't mean moderation is never called for just because nothing is perceived as wrong in a larger sense. My desire to moderate is not wrong either. Are you judging me for that? I find a great meaningfulness in words and actions. I do not think that saying one meaning is true vs. another, however. They are all true in their own way, and I find none to be more true. As a personality, there are preferences and opinions and such, but that is neither here no there..... Not only is the original comment here not useful in the forum (and perhaps a bit childish), but I suspect it's not even be the real jimmytantric. There was a similar post like this earlier and the actual jimmytantric complained that someone was using his name as a guest but that it was not him.

LM: I'm not judging you; I'm testing you. That's MY job! If everyone could see through the illusion of a separate self would there still be a need for moderation? |

When we post, are IP addresses left? If so you can check the IP address.

Not because I judge it to be wrong or bad, just because it doesn't serve it's purpose here. |

Yes!  Possibly not as much though.... LM: I'm not judging you; I'm testing you. That's MY job! If everyone could see through the illusion of a separate self would there still be a need for moderation? |
