Where did I make such a claim?

Where did I indicate you had?

Now that we've proven that both of us can play this passive-agressive dance of words, might we endeavor instead for an honest dialogue here?

You wrote:

You're well aware that nobody is prohibited from responding, anonymous or otherwise.

In the context of the conversation where you wrote words referencing an absence of prohibition in response to a request for a type of behavior, any reasonable person would conclude that you were suggesting that the request was out of hand solely on that basis.

If your intent was otherwise, then this is simply a misfortunate misunderstanding. But I don't imagine that's the case here. I think you were poking at your favorite bear, and now take umbrage that anyone would dare intercede on the bear's behalf.

I would ask we not mince words here. This is not a court of law. Ths is the Monastary. Can we agree to respect the tenets of honesty here?

I cannot demand that behavior from you, nor would I be particularly inclined to support a system where polite behavior was mandated rather than voluntarily given.

I cannot demand it; I am, however, requesting it.
How you respond is up to you.

In Loving Service,
Steven K. Mariner
