and better be cautious. Unfortunately I think that is all we can do. The nature of trust and what it really means is difficult. The total horror of so much that is happaning is beyond comprehension. Malevolence is most definitely real. :candle: Oh, yes, absolutely. And you never know who's up to wh...

Hi, Alan,

I also like to quote posts for the reasons you mentioned!

Ty!

With regards to Annapurna's suggestions, we will continue with the status quo for the time being. If anyone abuses the edit post function it will be taken away from them. If anyone has any concerns about another member abusing the function, then please use the report button associated with the post...

Dear Anna, Thank you for being patient and kind with me! I know this is the Internet and not always "the way". In fact, the one thing that would change my mind would be abuse of the edit feature. Of course, it would be great if the moderators could catch these, but that's not always possi...

Just a little update: the men who gang raped that poor woman on a bus in New Delhi have been charged! http://bostonglobe.com/2013/01/03/men-charged-with-murder-new-delhi-gang-rape/cSaUs3NVae6D1HtLZxaLGL/story.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Am so happy!Am so furious yo...

And PS:

I am not suggesting that we can't edit at all....but perhaps after a day there is an end to it, so that threads don't get destroyed...but if people would be unhappy with it, no problem.

Just a suggestion...

Thank you, Cittasanto! :smile: No. Sometimes I need to edit very old posts to fix broken links. As long as people don't abuse the edit facility, there's no reason to limit it. Bikkhu Pesala, but there is a reason. 2 people deleted their first posts in the last days. And if you want to fix a broken ...

I agree with Bhikkhu Pesala here. I think everyone should have unlimited editing capability. Obviously, Anna, you were overusing the privilege and got "dinged". Perhaps you should request for the privilege back and just exercise a bit of restraint in the future? This is what the moderator...

I have a suggestion. Now, that my editing function has been taken away from me for a while, due to editing too much in the opinion of some people, I must say I am rather enjoying this experience, as it has been educative for me, to REALLY think about what I want to be out there, black on white, and ...

Happy New Year!

I shared the link on facebook. I had received posts from friends in India, prior to this, all shocked and crushed and asking to sign. Male and female. I am VRERY happy to see so much resonance, thank you all for spreading. According to the last link, she was planning her wedding in February. Gang ra...

Thank you, all, Kusala, this is very touching and Cooran, this reality is truly sad...no words... Here is an update...I keep thinking her path is a lightful path, like the path of a Bodhisattva, who changes the world with a personal sacrifice...I wonder if you know what I am trying to say...? http:/...

Thank you so much guys. Dear all, you showed so much compassion for the fired, hot dentist assistant, now, this is here is so much worse, and there are so few replies. Very strange. Why is that? :thinking: I hope you will sign the petition Marie posted! SIGNED! That's right..please don't ignore thi...

Yana, I cried for her as well, and was haunted by images...

Mawkish, it is truly beyond words, I feel the same way. ---
