Theos-Talk Archives (July 2003 Message tt00014)

Hi Katinka and all of you,

My views are only views:

As I remember you emailed and gave out some advice on
how I could or should react towards Bart here at Theos-Talk.
I say: Please let us not make this into a witchhunt on Bart.

In the below email you give out your own as I understand it:
- assumptions.
Let us remember, that assumptions are not the same as facts.

I said in the previous email: "I think I know, what I am doing."
Your below answer is apparently not accepting this position.


If I need polishing, what do you Katinka as a single individual
think that aught to be ?
(Aeehm...With some afterhought. Would you email me privately ?
That would be polite...)

I do care...even if you the reader do'nt think so.
Do you - the reader - care ?
I got one private email from a reader - who hav'nt
posted anything recently. The reader was happy about my
small stories and allegories. That made me happy.

You mention something about - imaging evil motives.
I just do'nt understand where that came from.
I have said it before, that it is more how people react to the
emails I write than what they contain, which concerns me.
If I have to degrade my self (for a while) while emailing, to make some
readers
become motivated towards walking the Path with a stronger effort, -
then I would do so. Would'nt you ?

This said, - I will agree with Bart on one thing. From time to
time my own English/US-English is'nt the best. But let us remember, that
Theos-Talk is an international place. This should
urge, at least the wellmeaning, participants to do their best
to understand or grasp the content of
postings coming from different cultures than their own.


Katinka should we close the subject on Bart ?
This emailing almost turns into a witchhunt on Bart.
And I do'nt like that.


Feel free to comment or do your best...

from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
