I need some help here - fast!!

I think I may have well shot myself in both feet, here.

Many moons ago, I was elected as Theravada Moderator in a predominantly Mahayana Forum.
I said then, that it was a bad choice, because of my profound ignorance on matters Theravadan. but there were precious few candidates at the time....
Could somebody take a look at these two threads and tell me whether I really messed up moving them to the General Discussion Forum, or whether I really should have left them where originally posted - in the Theravada sub-forum?

I would have left both of them in the Theravadin section.

You might want to stay off of your feet for a while. It is easy enough to move them back.

Hi Fede,
They look theravada to me, although the first one does seam similar to the sutta story of the Acrobats it isn't a specific theravada topic and possibly would of been better placed in the general area for more coverage (not knowing how the forum operates generally, so just a guess) the second one is theravada specific.

I notice that he is from malaysia and theravadan? I thought malaysia was predominantly muslim and mahayanan not theravadan, but I do know there is a growing presence.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
I am nursing a bit of a bruised ego, and am indulging in a foot spa.....

I've put them back.
Now - I wait.....

wish I had a foot spa!

maybe point out you are only human and subject to makeing errors on occassion

[Fede]

I did that. I also explained that ignorance is a strong point of mine, and I like to air it often and loudly....

So hopefully they won't tear me a new one. ...again....

Just remember that insults are only yours if you accept them as such!
