Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 OK, I accept this. For me the point is that we all have points of view that we are passionate about. One thing we can all agree on is that we are all passionate about Chinese medicine. We have different points of view on the subject, and this is to be expected, especially with a subject like medicine, which is complex and multi-faceted like human beings themselves. What concerns me is that people are getting more and more strident, not listening, and the tone of the conversations is getting abusive. People are being pigeonholed unfairly, dismissed, and words are being used as hammers rather than tools for further communication. . I am asking you, as moderator, to help moderate the tone of these discussions, set parameters, and bring things back to a common ground. I think we should read Simcha's recent posting again. I agree with him that there is a point of view that can embrace and reconcile opposites. It may seem idealistic, but idealism sometimes is a good tool. The mind may rule the heart, but sometimes the heart must prevail. Let's find common cause, and move on.
