melo-dyman: my belated apologies too for my excessive remarks to you. I was offended, I felt those of us who are not believers in a spiritual plane were getting a bum rap in your own comments, and in fact I felt personally hurt by your reference to your father's death because it reminded me of my own father's death. I should have tried to talk about that, but an Internet forum during a big battle is not an ideal setting for complex personal feelings. Perhaps I should just have shut up.

Just to say that my remarks were personal, from one member to another, not "editorial", and there was no notion even at the back of my mind of wanting to push you out of ET. Long may you post here, melo.

group hug?

i couldn't agree more about the internet being an inappropriate medium for 'elaborating' (in the italian sense) some of life's trickier conundrums....

shutting up is the finest of remedies!

so is letting a provocative poke-y comment drop into nothingness, rather than taking the bait and washing out one's own personal neurosis in public.

boundaries are important, even in cyberspace.

i think i have a better measure of detachment these days...so do others here...it's much nicer to come here without conflict, there's too damn much of that in the world already.
