the movement isn't exactly transparent. you sort of have to be a part of it to find out about it. nothing i said was unwholesome or unskillful. not everything is published or available to the 'uninitiated'. the only unwholesome thing about my posts here is being on the internet too much.

You're right.
There's nothing wholesome coming out of this discussion.
Perhaps its time to put it away for awhile.
kind regards,
