Re: People you have on your ignore list should not trigger notifications

When people I have on my ignore list quote my comment, it triggers a notification. Any way to stop this from happening? Good householder could ignore it unless aversion, rooted in ignorance, comes up faster and gets not traced. (Householder would look what his "enemies" write anyway, so i...

Re: Self protection / killing insects

Sila based on real metta, right view, is the only lasting selfprotection. By harming one gains harm, does neither protect one self nor gives protection to others. It's the protection of the fool, for very short and insecure release from harm.
