I also enjoy many posts by Rich. We can all learn from each other,

even if we disagree sometimes.

 

This is a large list, with 1000 members. TCM expertise on the list

varies from phenomenal to minimal. However, we are ALL students

in the sense that we all are learning new thgings every day.

 

Therefore, can we quit bickering please, and get back to

discussing TCM, and how we can be better practitioners?

 

I know a few members who are AFRAID to input to this list

because they feel that they may be " hammered " by some more

experienced members. That is a great pity.

 

This list is for EVERYONE on it. If the moderator feels that some

people should NOT be on it, it is his prerogative to silence them, or

expel them. Otherwise, let us get on with useful discussions.

 

Best regards,

It is interesting to see the same hounding on other literary or communal

sites,

the marked ones seemingly the weakest, such as women, or people foreign to

the tongue, or

sweetly naive, or naively innocent.

 

The trigger seems to be an opinion voiced which differs from the common one

or the one most in vogue. Any venture into an avenue which is novel is torn

to

shreds in short order.

 

The tone is savage, decorum expected on a forum absent, finer thought and

steady speech as snow in the Gobi.

 

Invariably the one who ventured is silenced, or goes away bewildered, and

the fatal

status quo remains, as do the Hounders, who seem strikingly long lived, as

they are

looming winded.

 

The only difference here is that these are healers, and deal with patients

who are

by nature of things vulnerable, as they are trusting.

 

When one is ill, there are no defenses, only trust.

 

Whither TCM?
