Hello Stuka,

Sorry if I have caused some confusion.

But you didn't cause any confusion at all. You were clear that you think that folks who aren't attached to ritual, and who say so, have a problem.


There is no problem with rituals, nor is there a problem with ambivalence and non-attachment to rituals. They are neutral. We make the problem, either way. If you think that is so, then what made you claim to be so sad about it?


And going forward, since our entanglements seem to always result in threads being locked, I won't be responding to any more of your posts. I bear at least half of the responsibility for the thread closures and do not wish to contribute to that anymore. If my posts cause you vexations, please feel free to ignore them. And who said that they "cause me vexations"? Again there is this same expressed presumption of others being the ones with the problem. The technical term for it is "passive aggression".


You may rest assured that I will read what you have to say and take it in under consideration. Oh, goody.


But, it is painfully apparent that we are unable to communicate in a civil manner. Again, who is this "we"...? Pointing fingers is not a part of taking responsibility.

And it is kind of silly to cast this as a dispute between you and myself. It was Kaarine and A-D that you were characterizing as "having a problem" and "aversion". And they called you on it, too.
