Nail Polish Forum International
Re: Nail Polish Forum International
This is a bit of an in-joke - Adam Tebbes, who runs the Sweeping Zen website is making a dig at Zen Forum International which moderated the discussion of Eido Shimano scandal and upset Adam, and generally has more of an hands-on moderation style than some (many?) like.
The folks who run it have contributed a lot of time and effort into the site and there is some good stuff that happens there, a few interesting teachers and practitioners, so I would not dismiss it as Nail Polish International. Moderation is always a hot issue and personally I am more of a hands-off kind of guy.

Were they the folks who caused a bit of a ruction at old E-sangha?

So, there!

Re: Nail Polish Forum International
There were several Zen teachers whose understanding of some doctrinal issues such as the permanence or impermanence of enlightenment ran contrary to what E-Sangha admin team wanted to maintain. There was a conflict, but this is a separate issue to the one above. One of these teachers had been active as a moderator at ZFI for some time, that's all.
