[split] Knowing that you cannot know

[Patrick]

...based on what you're writing here, it seems to me like you have some "idea" of what this community should ideally look like, based on confederation teachings...

Yes you are right, I do have "some" idea. Mostly it's in the guidelines and mission statement already.

It's not like these forums are simply provided as a generic open platform for discussions of any kind.

...i really wonder how well a moderator can serve this community when they're approaching their role from a position of intellect rather than their heart. it just seems to be confusing

I will admit I was under the impression I was approaching it from a compassionate-wisdom point of view, where the heart informs the intellect.

The intellect cannot be taken out of the equation completely since it is the one typing on the keyboard. The heart alone does not know how to (at least mine doesn't).
