   I  have  not set any ideal, it's just plain Buddhism
for  the  masses. If you find right speech too much for
you,  I  humbly suggest that you to find a good teacher
and  work hard. You probably know that right action has
quite more to do than right speech.

   Stupid  people  cry about all kind of bizarre stuff.
Anyway,  dukkha is only promoted by attachment, hatred,
and  ignorance, where you can find harsh speech. If you
prefer  to  defend your "friend" instead of recognizing
stupid speech, it's up to you, of course.

   If  you  enjoy  Richard's shit, it's quite sure that
you  should  undertake  some kind of therapy. I neither
have  "solipsist" in my dictionary. In Spain we have no
money to buy good English dictionaries.

   I'm  not  even  a  stupid  practitioner,  but I have
attended  the right speech class, I humbly suggest that
you do the same and learn to be a good moderator (maybe
you  can  rename  "Buddha-L"  by  "Clown-Richard--L" or
something like that).

   Now,  being  serious,  do you know how many messages
Richard  has  needed  to indulge in ad hominem attacks?
How  can  you  defend  such  a  behaviour? He should be
banished  of  any  decent  discussion  list.  He's just
e-insane.

   Best wishes,
