new Forum (split...) suggestion?

[findley]

Hey sean--

 

everybody is stupid. what if you started another split-forum: 'Amatuer TCM' ? Discussion would be dedicated strictly to discussing TCM-- particularly text-book theory. (including, 'hey, I have this health or meditation problem... what are your guys' amatuer TCM advice?' kinda questions.)

 

Perhaps this way, I would learn something from this board. (and if I were a regular member participating in such an intellectual community as I believe proposed... for say, 5 years... Maybe I would have adequate practical skills to encourage me to... go to school and get an official degree?)

 

It would be super-cool. (You know, because all the bull-shit would be left in the 'taoist discussion' forum...?)

Actually, I think playing 'drs n drs' is a good idea.

 

maybe some chicks would appreciate if we expanded the forum from strictly text-book TCM theory to text-book Ayurvedic medicine.

 

please please -- it would be such a good opportunity for me to learn some real TCM theory on the side.

I had a private discussion with Sean about that a year ago or more. (Or rather, I blabbed and he listened.) I came to the conclusion that there'd be too much of a tendency for people to try and address medical conditions via that cyber-forum. Bad scene. Bad for people with genuine conditions, bad repercussions for TTBs.

 

I like talking about points, channels, herbs, etc., in the context of promoting general cultivation progress. But that'll probably always stay mixed in general forum sections for the above reason.

Thanks, trunk.

 

It seems like a simple matter of a disclaimer would solve the problem you mention.

 

It is too worthy a project to ignore, when a disclaimer is all you need.

There are enough TCM, Ayurveda etc. forums already :-)
