Are you honestly trying to say that the following is not name-calling?

Just random words in this thread with no meaning? What did you mean by them then? If you directed them at no one in particular, what were they directed AT then?

Ridiculous, condescending, etc.
That being said, i think something positive can come out of the conversation. More awareness and consciousness which is always good. Having said that, i am appalled. i feel that basically accusing people of murder, assassination or whatever you want to call it is the epitome of self- righteous, fundamentalist attitudes.
Taking to the extreme, those kinds of mental ego traps are what is wrong with this world imo and causes the worst kind of separation which is in consciousness/ awareness rather than the material realm.
I can't discuss either because of that reason, there is abolutely no point in bringing an alternative viewpoint , or something else to seriously consider because you will end up being accused of murder! REALLY!!!?
I say all that even after having tofu for dinner last night. Discussing this has been good for me to gradually takes steps forward, but certainly not in a moralistic fundamentalist way, my purpose being to help others who know me open in awareness, not to judge them. And certainly not for me to consider myself more STO or spiritually evolved than them. The epitome of arrogance!!
Apparently you think harsh, accusing words are the loving answer to what you deem as accusing to you or a group (which is a perception).
As to the idea of murder, well, explain how it is not murder. No judgment here. I would just like to hear your side of it.
And why is it not worth discussing? You claim you have been helped yourself in this discussion.
