  • ??? - no comment, although this *episode* has probaly lowered my treshold of tolerance ... and awareness for sociocultural differences is always a two-way road, inside and outside the realm of *sense of humour*

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.
  • "Episode"... yeah I went through withdrawels and everything. My wife had to tie me to the bed so I wouldn't go and try and log into the VSL Forum. I was drooling and everything. It was bad.

    I agree, so when we see/hear something which we don't like/understand, we can take the option of seeking clarification through dialogue, rather than allow ourselves to be upset.
    Isn't that how peaceful negotiation works? [:)]

  • But what about upsetting dialogue?

    And what about writing dialogue while upset?

    You can't prevent being upset.

    I firmly believe that we can choose either to "react" or to "respond" to life .... [[;)]]

  • Well this post is both a reaction and a response, so it beckons the famous phrase ...

    HUH?

  • Reaction: "Knee-jerk" type of thing, no thought, visceral, sometimes "dangerous", capable of causing ill will ....

    Response: Thought out, usually more "rational", more conducive to peaceful negotiation/dialogue .... [[;)]] [*-)]:

  • i can't believe ee was actually banned [[:|]] !

    Someone as useful, entertaining, stimulating..ok, annoying as that should not be banned for more than -er...15 minutes/ A day?

    then again, I've been away from the forum (thanks, it was nice) so i don't have to read ee every day...maybe that raises my tolerance level.

    I must say the VSL moderators appear quite civil gentlemen to me.

    Glad we're all friends again.

    (i can't believe ee was actually banned!)

  • Hey Nigel,

    Thanks for the support. Appreciate it.

    There are no words other than what I've already said. The whole thing was a step backward as far as progress goes. MY country thrives on freedom of speech. It's the basis of innovation and progress.
