( the report button is always there... if someone is telling you what to believe or not to believe ... )I tried different ways to tell yes, but it seems like it does not reach their way of thinkingNot much i can do about it.

Hehe
No need to report just because of that. Sometimes its best to not take it to far, but just try to nudge the person toward realizing that it is not only them in the forum, and the forum has its own rules about how can be the best members as possible

Where?....I think i created it because even my patience went south for a moment
Sometimes i get bugged down in comments that seems to be so out of balance of reality that i create this kind of OP. And as the time go, i realize that is does nothing good at all So maybe i just have to deal with the frustration that build up and not say to much about it here So yes i do see your point @dybmh
Whomever possesses the power to enforce.

If you had not started the OP you maybe would not have realized certain things

Fuses are important in electrical circuits, as well as in human circuits IMO

If you did, your jab about spellchecking it makes no sense. Are you feeling alright?

Is a chilli pepper rating some sort of millenial Twitterbook thing?
Sorry I'm an adult, can you say what you mean with words?

your comments were spicy... I like spicy, but some people don't.
But I digress.
How are you?

How?
That's actually a pretty deep philosophical question.
Some would say I was created. Others would say I evolved.
The truth is....I wish it was Friday.

By your own argument shouldn't they be free to express their opinion of how we should behave on the forum as long as the mods/owner don't object? There are plenty of negative ways to behave here that aren't against the rules but don't lead to quality discussion and debate either. What we must do and what we should do are two separate things.I am not afraid of saying what i think or have a meaning of

Of course, people should be able to speak freely as long as the person does not tell that you can or can not say because "I" (him/her) decide what is morally good, not evil, or what he/she thinks is harmful to others or themself because they see themself as higher moral people than you.
And when you choose to speak up and say "maybe it is not everyone else who is wrong, but since you seem to be the only one having this view, maybe it is your self that is wrong?" (this should be allowed too, without that person attacking you as evil, harmful, disgusting, dumb or other things)
And yes I know of someone who is like that.

Isn't that a description of most revealed religions, including your own?
Ultimately lots of people are going to say we should (or shouldn't) do things for all sorts of different reasons. They're free to do that but we're free to ignore them.

In my experience religions, today are very much saying that everyone has to follow so or so rules that they themself follow. But actually it is more of if you are Christian you follow Christianity if you are a Buddhist you follow buddha teaching. if you are a Falun Gong practitioner (not a religion) you trying to follow the guidelines of the teaching. But we should not as nonpractitioners of or practitioners of other religions/spiritual teachings to do exactly as we do. if they did they would become us. and that is not the meaning behind spreading the teaching.
It is up to each one of us to follow the teaching we want to. nobody can force you to suddenly become like them, would I like that more people got to know about Falun Gong? yes, I would, but all I can do is to speak of my understanding of the cultivation done in Falun Gong, or give true quotes from the teaching and especially say when it is my own understanding/my words and when it is our teachers words. I can not give a full answer to the highest form of understanding of the teaching, because i am not at that level of understanding or wisdom.
But in the end. teaching from Christianity, Jewish, Islam, Buddhism and so on, are meant for those who actually practice those teachings. they can not and should not say to example a non-believer that you have to. follow this or you go to hell. how do they know?
I can not speak of others. and i know i have said and done too much wrong my self to expect others to follow what i do. so i have given up on "preaching" the word but instead trying to cultivate my own life. But i am happy to answer questions when asked.
I am no longer a member of RF just to spread spiritual words or teaching. I am here now to just enjoy the forum.
