Dear Yong Peng,

Thank you for your reply, judicious and balanced as always. It seems
we need reminding of some of your statements again already:

We should

Can we please respect the moderator's wishes in this respect?

I'd only like to add, for Yong Peng and others, that if anything i
have said on this list has caused offence or contributed to
conflict, i ask forgiveness. Some of the topics i have raised or
contributed to have indeed been controversial, and i was quite aware
of this at the time. I did try to carry on the discussion in a
respectful manner, but i don't know if i always succeeded.

"One should know what it is to extoll and disparage, and having
known both, one should neither extoll nor disparage, but should
teach only Dhamma."
