Hmm. Why should moderators get demoted but regular members get banned?

Sometimes you can hash out an issue with someone face-to-face, one-on-one, which has a misunderstanding at its basis. I'm noticing we don't even want to deal with people face to face anymore. That distance thing is weird to me and an issue. There are consequences to not wanting to communicate well with people.

And this has pros and cons too.

Before you ban or demote someone why not have a simple Zoom call with them to flesh out any issues? Seems like common sense to me.

Nobody likes to be cornered, true.

I feel the opposite. But it is just my opinion. It is good to serve for a term and then go back to being a regular member.

There should be term limits for moderators on here lol.

One face -to-face Zoom call can solve a lot of this. Be willing to communicate, and that will avoid a lot of misunderstandings.

You don't appreciate the artistry of the one-liner.

My experience with him is he seemed to be more concerned with how thoughts feel.

Being a regular member is not that bad.

I see it opposite, primarily there is only a live moment IMO.

I enjoy using the stainless steel pan. It teaches you how to cook too.

I think there is a lot of speculation happening because we do not know what he was doing or not doing.

@AION I agree. I think he was a highly intelligent guy who was also very creative but he was also pushing the boundaries a lot too.

Sometimes people have great insights that I agree with. But that is just my opinion.

The problem is IMO, Advaita Vedanta on its own doesn't give a complete and satisfying answer.

He understands it for himself, I'm sure.

The question is what does it mean for you to directly know something?
