Not that I have anything 'against' Wim (I don't know him)... but my impression is, 'agenda'. When I read his posts, my 'hidden agenda' detector goes off. I could be wrong, but I've learned to listen to that little beeper :-). > Also, last time we had a list members being a little too eager to >talk about their sex lives and show off their cool by swearing, the >moderators deemed those behavior modes bad form for the list. > So Tim and Wim, please keep the swearing and the sex lives a secret > for the rest of us, hm ? I have absolutely no interest in discussing anything about 'sex lives' (mine or anyone else's). As for "swearing"... I'd like to hear from the moderator on that. I rarely 'swear' in these forums, but any hard-and-fast rule that blocks spontaneity of discussion can't be beneficial, unless there are small children here. >We try to have some style in here and take ourselves as seriously as >possible befitting our status as enlightened advaitins. Amanda, you're preaching/lecturing... if you care to 'hear' the tone of what you wrote above. As seen from here, that's far more unpleasant than any four letter word. Reminds me of how my grade- school teachers used to talk. Love, Omkara (Tim) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Omkara Datta unless there are small children here. For one there is me... Words don't mean anything, its all in the way they are said or typed, but even then the children of silence may be swept away by the wind of words...

Antoine But you are a child of nature Antoine! Beautiful smile in the picture that you sent. I hope Wim's words have not had any negative impact because you are newly married. Everything will be OK. Hey Wim! I have missed some posts and missed yours until Amanda brought it to our attention. I had to skim the whole thing to find the objectionable material. Boy, are my eyes tired or what? Amanda is right Wim. The purpose and the spirit of the list is not consistent with members discussing and or boasting in any way about their sex lives, (unless such comments are spontaneously and extremely brilliant and subtle, related to Self-Realization in some way, and/ or for the purpose of educating, teaching, and made in good taste, or if they are in the proper context extremely funny and obviously entertaining). Our panel of monitoring judges has found your post (specifically the two lines about your personal experience with self-help) to not fully meet this criteria and our generally high standards for comments of that nature. That is not to say that you have done anything morally wrong that you need to feel guilty about. Not the least! You should justifiable take pride in your accomplishments. Here is the list policy given below. Pure exhibitionism for its own sake, without regard to the proper spiritual audience (that we are), while respected as an important need for many, and as a type of energy that seeks a variety of outlets for fulfillment, cannot be completely accommodated in its entirety here on this Satsang as it would be too energy draining for the rest of us.Therefore, you are encouraged to re-channel these energies constructively in multiple directions directly opposite to their previous vectors with the help and assistance of the three Rs as they relate to the nature of audience and the context of speech here. RRR. Reflection, Restraint, Respect. Thanks Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRR. Reflection, Restraint, Respect. I have to laugh, what a nice way of putting it... :-) Thanks Harsha, for the triple R rating scheme that I will apply to my responses. Even though Harsha, my 'borderline trespassing' did not fully originate with me... In fact, I thought my answer was a rather fun and light response to some remark that I found hilarious in its physical implications as well as gross in its judgemental intent and portent. Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
