oh lawd no! - the majority of active posters here would find that awful - (and that is their right); and I have no direct connection or authority with the L/L team.
additionally - until there was a basic (daily) energy of genuine Agape* here - constantly defending myself would only add to the (often extreme) harshness of this density for me - and I'm working very hard to keep myself incarnate already.
By this* I mean that if a person has a very specific theory on a contentious topic they feel completely safe to share it - provide evidence, answer questions about it - and not be hostile or defensive - and in good faith, in return, they should not be patronised or scorned if a person/people find the idea 'ridiculous'.
(This is what I tried to do with Manjushri when he said he was convinced Michelle Obama is transsexual.)
(Unfortunately my ideas are unrealistic and my standards are old school face to face respect that's almost non existent in the world of internet interactions.)
I still think that it would be great to have a place where if a person wants, they can share their fears and concerns, and receive support and listening from others whether people believe the same as well. I do think this happens on some threads here. For it to happen as a regular thing would be even better.
But even moving past this - imo it would be really productive if we could help each other in much more practical and specific ways in each others daily lives.
Otherwise this is all talk - no action.
