I believe Tony already apologized (and explained he is Irish and so forth) and said that he is trying to improve. I am not sure what else we can ask from Tony or anyone else for that matter when they are trying to do the best they can. Sri Ramana was like that also. He did not impose very high standards on devotees. One time he even protected a devotee who had an affair with a woman in the village down below. Hey, we are all humans. Underneath the tough exterior, Tony is a softie inside. Again, I am sorry that you feel hurt Jim. I think if you stay around, you won't take things too seriously. Not everyone will take to everyone else. That's just how it is. Lot of different personalities. Chris is a beautiful soul like Greg. He is always nice and kind. Maybe we can use him as our role model.

I don't feel hurt - just puzzled at the seeming double standards in your string and wishing to get clear on your standards. Near as I can tell many of you are taking things way to seriously. I'd suggest we all relax and ask ourselves: Who is taking things seriously? Who is getting hurt? Who is upset, offended, irritated, etc.? I wonder where that inquiry might lead?......LOL. love and respect, jim I think if > you stay around, you won't take things too seriously. > Not everyone will take to everyone else.
