Brahmacharya ... tit for tat, 2

[Guest guest]

cont'd>>>>><br><br>it is a by-now

tediously familiar trick at these message boards that

anonymous vandals, acolytes of the anti-hindu/anti-gay

religious right among them, will deliberately disrupt with

bashing and baiting for days on end, and then demand that

those subject to the harassment collaborate in their

own harassment by cataloguing and rehashing the

bashing and baiting. anything to steer things off-topic

and torment "them" for a while, right? nice try, and

thank you for being so obvious about it. as you well

know it was harsh enough the first time around.

everybody read it the first time around and found it harsh

and/or tedious enough once. give up. time is better

spent changing adult diapers for someone too weak to

move. (have you heard about karma yoga?)<br><br>as all

here but you and your handful of tittering, pruney

friends realize, sometimes an orifice is just an orifice.

i presumed i was among those who practice a

discipline that brings all the functions of the body into

perfect working order, a discipline that springs from a

philosophy revealing that the entire body -- orifices and

all -- is illusory. thus i cannot be faulted for

finding your beavis and butthead posing unexpected ("he

.... said ... orifice ... beavis. he-he.yeah ...

that guy's rilly gay ... huh ... huh-huh"). if only

you had their talented writers.<br><br>you and your

delightful posse will likely continue baiting the gay guy

because it seems it is your life's mission, obviously

more interesting to you than yoga. have you noticed

that your most prodigious supporter (another anonymous

hero like yourself) has a penchant for gratuitously

hurling scatalogical invective and the word "queer"

whenever she sniffs non-gender-discordant hub-hub in her

tortured mindscape, and scapegoats the phenomenon of gay

men for her embittering lack of companionship? (the

last vestiges of the attitude revealed in her recent

"gay men have no use for women" hackneyed spiel went

out with the devastatingly self-parodying gerald ford

presidency, i believe.)

Admirable and well-presented restraint,

midnight_omboy. It was articulate, to the point and not too

abusive. Much more representative of satya and ahimsa.

See! I knew you could do it if you tried.<br><br>In

the words of T.K.V.

Desikachar:<br><br>"Ahimsa...means kindness, friendliness, and thoughtful

consideration of other people and things. It simply means that

we must always behave with consideration and

attention to others....it would show a lack of

consideration and arrogance to become stuck on our

principles"<br><br>Satya: "It is not always desirable to speak the truth

come what may, for it could harm someone

unnecessarily. We have to consider what we say, how we say it,

and in what way it could affect others. If speaking

the truth has negative consequences for another, then

it is better to say nothing."<br><br>I trust that

you will find this better than saying nothing. In the

past I have even agreed with some of the things that

you said to others but only when you took the time as

now to give a fair and balanced response.

You doth protest too much.<br><br>Just try to remember this isn't "The Bay

Times," but a club for Yoga. What's appropriate there is offensive here.

nice to see you have begun to read the books you recommend.
