Powerful. :bowing:

AugustLeo, hi - well, you could follow your signature and just let go, let go, let go... If not, from what I can tell it all started here: http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=4596&st=0 at the bottom of page 1, when Taomeow began ripping up BrianLKennedy for saying things about EvaWong. Then Procurator jumped on Taomeow, then all hell broke loose and it rolled around in three? maybe four? threads. Then, the next day, Starjumper7 (his own battle winding down) took up the Taomeow banner and charged. Some of this is all kind of disjointed though because there's been a lot of editing by a few of the people - and Starjumper7's continued revival of anti-Max blah blah blah keeps it stirred up into something even bigger than it was (wasn't). But opinions vary even on that. Maybe. And then Ian started this thread. There. Now you are all caught up. You sure you dont want to just let go, let go, let go ?

Where is the old bag in the corner near the broom laughing with the dust

VeeCee, lots of value in that 2 cents. I must be missing something - the only thread I could find that was Taomeow's thread to begin with was this one: but I only went back 5 pages on the discussion topic list - so maybe this is all about something before I joined? No matter (to me) and it's time for me to move on to other TTB topics, so thanks Ian for starting such an annoyingly interesting thread.

So much for prefering healing.

Seems most of this started with you calling someone a liar, a weenie, and something else... it was funny but it sure got people cranked up. I'm new here but was starting to think that's how this forum operated, since there was so much ugly namecalling and insults being hurled in several threads, um, mostly by you. well since you give people cancer...your screen name should make people think "oncologee", no? Nope, wrong again, since proctologee means 'victim of proctologist'. Nor do I give people cancer, I only know how to do it. I prefer healing. Glad to hear that you now prefer healing.

Sometimes sha'qi is deliberately released by someone though the manipulation of others. The "who started it" can be obscure to those who can only see so far; reactions can vary greatly. I agree that environment is vital to good practice.

The idea was ascribed to Starjumper7. It stopped being about you pages earlier.

who is the real star? every heart that sat and watched dreaming they were there

Hi - Curious about "different size ions" - I went googling and found this: http://www.querycat.com/faq/bf4e0f850f20750673d1aa3b3cd2cc1e Seems like good info for those who might be considering playing with ions.

xuesheng - great link, thanks. Not sure whether to laugh or cry because it was funny but it also described, in varying degrees, most of the people on every forum I've been to. Maybe troll "behaviour" is an out-of-control expression of things we share in common, being human and all. I'm not sure that embracing a "save a Troll" stance would do any good, since it's attention being sought - and there's no stronger attention than "Oh...you poor thing...let me help you become the right kind of interactor..." Maybe the best we can do is to not become trolls ourselves, recalling that the shield of anonyminity isn't license to hurl our own particular brand of sick on others shoes.

Procurator, please excuse my manners. Here's a link to a discussion that may give more information towards your question. What you're asking about begins partway down the first page... http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php...=19538&st=0

Please dont give me credit for something that did not occur to me. I'm not familiar with Kirkland or bold ideas about anything. The Daodejing was originally called The Laozi. My understanding is as the various bodies of thought syncreted (towards a more formalized practicing of Daoism) during the Han - the renaming of the DDJ to include "De" may or may not have added an importance not originally intended in The Laozi, but for sure it gave a nod towards the newly budding Confucian principals, which were also vying for position about then. Likely others here are far more knowledgable on this. My understanding is one formed only by passing through various places.

Lilly, Carlyle, Shell.. must we fear what others fear? voiceless cosmic dust

Very true. And it's a pattern of disrespect that might have begun 2500 years ago when it was "re-named" and "re-translated" into something more marketable and more palatable for Confucian purposes.

Very nice to see this. Thank you for sharing it.

for transformation not even tao holds its breath who would stop the spring?

Oh, okay. Perhaps others here can help you with this. Good Luck.

Hello, nice place you have here. I'm still figuring out all the buttons. hfd

Thanks for the nice welcome.

There is a walking meditation technique of threading through the labyrinth. http://www.spiritualdirections.com/Labyrinth.htm The link has small explanation and also lists places in Calgary open to the public for this.

He was told to stay in the garage, I guess.

Starjumper7 if you didnt want his name revealed why did you draw a map to his identity? You gave enough personal perspective on him in TTB posts to know who he is so there's no need to fret now over your website.
