Hi Keith,

Sincerely I do not see any reason to be upset here. If one is into a given tradition, for example, Soto in my case, some posts in the past were about tough comments and I know that Zen circles as any others are susceptible to criticism and that should not be understood as a personal attack. Any tradition, to say Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan, Theravada, Pure Land, etc... and also "personal" teachers, have their issues and all we have to be aware of those facts.

Also we have to differentiate from the way one is posting and from the content it is posted. We are exposed to criticism any time we wrote an opinion or any time a posture is taken. Neither one nor the other criticisms are of any harm mostly if people here, as you said, know nothing of each other. Forums need to have their proper place in the list of important things in our lives.
