[Buddha-l] Re: A ltter concerning toleration

[James Ward]

Steven,

Try to relax and take deep breaths...  The more rational and calm you 
can be in this sort of situation, the better, although the momentum 
that has been gained to this point will tend to work against that, I 
expect.  Try, though -- you don't have to precipitate an emotional 
crisis in yourself.

As far as I am aware, participation in Buddha-L is not part of anyone's 
official university duties.  Even if Richard were a former 
card-carrying member of the Communist Party, he would still have the 
right to speak -- we must continue to act as if this were the United 
States we formerly knew until the change is declared officially.  And, 
as a moderator, Richard is responsible for making decisions about 
whether messages to the list are appropriate or not.

Try to become aware now, without following all the impulses to zoom off 
this way and that in response.  This is one of things that Buddhism can 
help with, as you hopefully know.

Be well,

James Ward
