Already time for closing statements? He he No one going to filibuster this? So this finally boils down to Om Mai Padme Hum, huh? Oh you bodhisattvas of compassion!

I have enjoyed the conversation and hope most of you did too. As I said earlier, I think there is a bit of both that is required to deal with difficult people.The main difference, as I see it, at least amongst most of us, seems to be the degree and order of the method to be used. Clearly there are total pacifists too and total warriors, but I get the sense many of us here are probably both depending on the circumstances. As always, that's the sensible middle regardless of which side of that middle you might be leaning towards.

That said, San bro, I look forward to the changes, if any, that you said might be coming this weekend. I realize you have received some flak for the changes already and will prolly receive some more, and it's ultimately your call which way you want to take Sajha, but I want to reiterate that once we get past the adoption and learning curves, I think what you have done is the right thing and it will bear fruit. It is a very sensible approach and is the way of the future, in my opinion, and I am glad to see you headed in that direction.

Sum Off -

Jeez, what a ride! From your thread becoming San's Dingo's lunch, to the new layout, to US politics, to Hillary's body parts, to trolls and bullies, courage and peace - I've enjoyed the ride! Thanks for the thread. I look forward to the US politics discussion whenever that works out for you.

Thanks and best wishes to the rest. Hope to see you all around and enjoy your weekend.

"To go against the dominant thinking of one's friends,of most of the people one sees every day, is perhaps one of the most difficult tests of character one faces in life "
