Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 It is the majority view of the moderators that member Tony Cleary be awarded a red card. Although being a member for many years, his posts continue to repeat the same misguided ideas that serve only to confuse those less experienced members who might take his seniority for knowledge and to upset some of the more devout members. His views are submitted in terse format without substantiating references from the scriptures despite repeated requests that such supporting statements be provided. These views do not seem to have altered despite numerous attempts by various members to correct them over the years. Whilst members are obviously entitled to hold whatever views they wish, it is not acceptable to express them under the guise of Advaita as expounded by Shankara, this being contrary to the guidelines of the group. Tony will remain a member of the group if he so wishes but posting privileges will be withdrawn for a 1-year period. Moderators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Namaste, I am posting to the group after a long time, though I have been reading the posts off and on. While I am no one to challenge the moderators on this count, I feel this punishment is a trifle too harsh. The problem, in my understanding, is merely that Sri Tony O'Cleary uses non-standard terminology, which might confuse some members.

It has been pointed out that this is, however, itself a violation of the guidelines: 6. Announcements by the moderators of policy decisions must not be discussed on the list – strong views should be notified direct to the moderators. Would members please not discuss this subject further on the list. Moderators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
