Not sure where you are going. Seems like you would rather not directly face any issues and see that as more loving. I think issues not addressed will linger or grow larger by pretending everything is copacetic.
Most threads here require no real inner search or discovery and everybody is safe and warm - and unchanged.
I think I face most issues here directly. Maybe you're thinking of someone else. Love has nothing to do with being dishonest, but in holding a love space in your heart and actions with even those you are in conflict with. And a willingness to try and be completely honest about ones motives.

I didn't mean your issues. My wording was poor.
I was talking about a direct approach that appears to you as confrontational and non-loving. Pretending everything is A-OK and glossing things over certainly doesn't bring resolution so am not sure exactly what you are recommending. Merely having an open heart-space is insufficent.

I am at a loss.
What have I said to create this? It seems that it was me.
What can I do, but appologise? I am sorry for .. being?

Well I don't advocate pretending things are a ok when they aren't. I can be confrontational so I must advocate it. We just have different styles Swami. Maybe I have misunderstood your seeming gruffness for great love. I have been wrong before. Or so some tell me. Much can be done with an open heart space, you can even be angry and get the job done, tell the whole truth ect.,from that space. It is indespensible to real communication IMO. So maybe we are on the same page here.

I don't know their motivation, but am trying to understand why folks who rarely if ever post here:
1. Even knew about the thread.
2. Took particular interest in that one of the thousands of possible threads.
3. Felt compelled to interject in a negative fashion when two others were making peace.
Does that not seem peculiar to you?

I hope you do not think my addition was negative, however... Swami, we were definately watching you guys have it out from the Mod Forum.
I suppose OTD just sensed a disturbance in the force... some sort of mob-mentality flocking mechanism they have or something.
Christ dude, how many times do I have to explain how harmless you are, to the lynching mob?
It is not easy being you.
Thanks for what you do here.
And let me jump on the bandwagon and flame you, you royal pain in the ass!
