Strong need to be intellectually right, even over everyone. A dislike of being disagreed with. Strong disgust of humans and people who not completely unbiased, but ignores own bias and assumes an absolute perspective. Very moralizing, but denies morality exists in theory. Strong preference for absolutist over nuanced thinking, E.g., all and every instead of some and sometimes. This thread is a good foundation for a shadow work video! It takes guts to ask for this kind of feedback. Respect!

I get the sense there is an attempt to over-correct for something.

Great insight.

What do you mean by this lol?

These are good points, but it is also wise to see thru rationality on the path.

This is actually a moral statement too. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-782

If I caused it, I feel terrible. It might take a while for me to realize it though.

Yes. If your hypothetical is correct, there definitely is a place for fault finding.

Emerald should just hide this thread and carry on as normal.

I tend to want as many perspectives here as possible. This is my bias.

But expecting a behavior change is also too rigid. According to who?

We are all on the path.

Forgiveness is underrated.

Keep in mind that we have pre-rational, rational, and post-rational people here.

Interesting. I see it more like Emerald was trying to have a really high-level rational discussion with people who didn't want to do that for whatever reason.

Emerald is a real teacher and deserves respect.

It takes strength to face adversity.

Right. In other words you can view the forum as a bad trip, and it can be.

I agree with this but you can put spilt milk back in its container. The I cannot needs to be questioned.

I second this. Good idea.

Let's let him back on.

I don't know if I have lol. I tend to think more in terms of Masculinity and Femininity in these contexts.
