Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Hello Prasadini, WHERE IS KANDER WHEN WE NEED HIM ?, as his history as a moderator is to calm the fires before they start, send private emails to any who he deemed inappropriate.....without imposing his personal opinions....and when he did, his messages were clearly well thought out and reported Amma's wisest teachings. Peter White, where are you, or have we burnt you out ? agitated by those who are argumentative or political...and not focused on the target of helping others worse off than ourselves, om namah shivaya, amritavarshini On Saturday, September 3, 2005, at 09:04 PM, Prasadini wrote: > Namah Shivaya, > Who decides how much censure we want on the list and how is the > decision > made?
