Moderation is often subjective in forums with the clearest of rules. And there is constant kick back about mods not being objective enough. Understandably as people are usually not trying to break rules, they are just being themselves. People see situations in unique ways and the moderator gets to have the judgement call. As a result a moderator is selected as possessing well suited judgement when representing a community. This way, when a judgement call is made, it doesn't destroy a community but strengthens it and reinforces the validity of its members.




This forum has been around a long time. At certain times in the past it had earned a notorious reputation in terms of moderation. I don't want to get into the details of that, but I can say that the moderation today appears largely excellent. Moderation is also like parenting and in that sense this is a large and diverse community or family. I don't envy mods but I appreciate them. I believe that those in service of the site today display good judgement.

There are a number of idioms about trying to please everybody, all of them basically say that it can't be done.

I think its a pretty bold claim to say that yoga and mindfulness meditation aren't connected to mystical experiences




That is a rather polite way to put it.

Yoga by definition is a unifying practice.
Japa, Natya, Hatha etc. Numerous types of Yoga are considered sacred traditions that unify. That is even what Yoga as a word means.

While what you mention is likely true in regard to things like modern Yoga as a form of exercise for the body even those forms still have roots in mystical practice.

All the Yoga classes I attended were even in a Hindu temple.

As someone who is occasionally offensive and even deliberately provocative at times I have wondered if your comments about Yoga are meant to be offensive on purpose or if it is just a coincidence that they can be found to be readily offensive to certain people. I can't tell. I'm not easily offended and have not been offended here by you in any way, but I have a concern that dismissing an ancient mystical  traditional practice in this manner is potentially problematic.

I think that maybe if the poll wasn't buried in the middle of this discussion that a few more people might notice it and vote.

You could start a mystic journal and allow others to comment in it.

Kickle's mention of User Created sections does seem like a pretty good option to me.
