Earlier today, Jigme wrote about me: <<8 - "X" had deep Buddhist insights (where
"X" is someone who rankles an opponant)>>.

In Buddhism, if one still rankles and rattles at anything or anybody, one hasn't
even started Buddhist cultivation yet. So, if X rankles an
opponent, that opponent is worthless as a Buddhist cultivator, regardless of who or
what X is. If X happens to have deep Buddhist insights, he or she may quite well be
using skilful means to show an opponent that the latter hasn't even started
Buddhist cultivation yet and therefore is worthless as a Buddhist cultivator.

By the way, Linda, you misspell "responsabiity" even worse now. Since as your
stooge I'm obligated to follow your spelling, may I ask you to clean up your
spelling, to make it harder for some people to track my puppeteer?
