    Hey, Padawan.

    I soooo hear you on that one. Holocaust denial makes me crazy. I get enraged and have a very hard time calming down. That would be one of the most difficult issues for me in which to practice calm Buddhism and clear thought. It's just too much. And I have only relatives of friends as survivors, not family, like you. I can't imagine how difficult it must be. I don't even have anything constructive to help you with. It leaves me at a complete loss of words.

    My love and compassion go out to you and your wife along with Yogamama's. If you ever need to vent in a safe place, come here. We'll rally around you any time, day or night. I would be honoured to share that burden with you.

    With much metta,
    Brigid

    There something quite honest in the way this debate has turned around.

    I take refuse in your closer examination of the subject.

    I feel little attachment to a need to be liked or disliked.However there will always be a welcome in the hillside for you all.

    Really? I am shocked. OK, I am REALLY joking around with you. You are liked around here, Herman. Even though we all have little disagreements on here, we all still very much enjoy each other.

    Refuse - or refuge, my friend?

    I'll like you - I don't wanna dislike you.

    Are you getting mushy, Herman? You are, aren't you? You're getting mushy!

    Well, whether you like it or not, we love you, too. :grin:

    Well spotted BF. As you are already aware sometimes my spelling is not what it should be. Never the less I hope it doesn't detract from my point.


    Refusenik,

    My spellin' ain't good at times neither.

    I just wanted to make sure you were either pleased that I use these forums for reviewing the views I hold.

    Or that you were just taking a dump on me. :)

    Nothing distracted - I was banking on "refuge".

    To be honest though, some of us aren't that far along. Terseness still gets my dander up at times - but you're doing a great job of teaching me.
