I think it will be difficult to decide what kind of posting is
an attack. The only way we can is to look at the posting as
objective as possible.
Sometimes some issue brought up might be contraversial or not
well-liked by others. But does it mean that posting would
automatically equate to attack or even offensive?
Probably the best thing to do will be at looking at the facts that
amount to such posting and (I feel that especially in buddhist
forum) not to quickly label that forummer as slandering sangha,
etc.
Dhamma as it is, is indestructible (this is what buddhists
believe), because the Truth is indestructible! So as buddhists, who
are seekers for Truth, shouldn't be that afraid or think that it is
a taboo to discuss issues that are contraversial or even not a
well-like topic.
Be forthcoming and abovebroad!
And as a form of practice the Endurance Paramita, take it with our
own stride and not getting mad when other forummers get personal
(we have a few here)! Take it also as a practice of our mental
resolute and perseverence lo.
My understanding is that at the bottomline, religions are basically
different, even we may have the same religion we may have different
points of view that would lead us not necessary seeing things eye
to eye.
So by law, it will be hard to define what is insulting, because
what one would find insulting, probably is what the other genuinely
believed without the intention to insult anyone!
I think for contributions in this forum, we should just be direct,
straight to the point (so does with using analogies) and don't
attack fellow forummers.
What else can be done right?
