I intend to do exactly what I've always done and help you all develop thicker skin.

Good?

From the FAQ:

(https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/termsofuseandrules)
When interacting with others always bear in mind RESPECT:
R - take Responsibility for what you say and feel, without blaming others
E - use Empathetic listening
S - be Sensitive to differences in communication styles
P - Ponder what you read and feel before you speak
E - Examine your own assumptions and perceptions
C - be Civil in your interactions with others
T - Trust ambiguity, because it can be difficult to communicate meaning
(Adapted from "The Bush Was Blazing But Not Consumed," by Eric H. F. Law)


With that in mind, the following are taken from the policies of a well-known Zen forum and I think we would do well to consider them too. Especially point #1 . . . as Cabur posted earlier in the thread:

Lol I like you much better as a sith. At least you have now embraced your true personality. Im glad you have made it your personal mission to bitch slap each and every one of us until we conform to your standard of excellence. Thank you for your unbounded narcissism in this pursuit! My only word of caution is be sure and check with your current handlers to ensure your path remains riteous. After all, living your life in some other manner than being at your masters becon call seems to remain a cardinal sin in your world.

Can we stick to the topic please without the snipping. That's directed at both responses.



Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

I feel sad when I see unhappy messages, at the same time I just want to be around here to make people feel less sad.. :blush:

Thanks for this, Leah. I've often hoped things could be gentler even when there are differences of opinion. Points can be made without skinning and flaying an opponent. Having class does not mean lacking strength.
