In Maths education, in order to encourage students and pupils, for quite a long time now this has been known as “trial and improvement”. Has a better feel to it, don’t you think?

And I imagine the work of all […]

We heard you, Madhu, the flat was rocking for several minutes – I was about to call the Council to investigate when I read your post!

Frank, I think you could easily pass this on (and make yourself a few quid) to […]

By “an historical record” I meant primarily in terms of people’s views, conflicts, beliefs, struggles, joys, suffering, etc., Levina, especially, of course, in terms of their experience in (and out of) Sannyas and […]

It’s not a dilemma, Levina, I’m determined to keep SN going.

Although much will depend on the contributors – and their willingness to contribute cash as well as views.

Thanks, Frank, there’s nothing like humour for putting fanaticism and the like in perspective.

Levina, you ask me what’s my motivation here…

SN has been operating online for a long time, around 14 or so years, as a ‘grass roots’ medium for sannyasins and fellow-travellers to share experience and views, […]

Up late, refecting on this apparent impasse.

This thread is nearing its imposed (by Wordpress) end and the next one is to be about SN’s financial situation, as the site can not continue if that remains […]

Veet, therapy and a discussion site are totally different arenas. What is appropriate to and works in one doesn’t in the other, and vice versa (see my earlier post).

As for sharing moderation in a team with […]

Satchit, why do you think Arpana’s articles have been published in the last year? Think about it…

I see nothing essentially ‘wrong’ in someone criticising Sannyas here, as long as they provide well-argued […]

You make too many such assumptions, Arps.

Doesn’t sound like “justice and fair play” to me, Arps. Just re-read what you wrote here.

You must be joking, Veet.

Untrue, Arps. You say what’s convenient for your hyped-up emotions, as we all tend to do when furious.

As for my role, I try to be fair, while calling it as I see it, but despite intentions it’s impossible to be […]

The problem with this continual sniping resentment, Arps, is that it’s been going on, on and off, for years – with no signs of an end in sight (or, one might say, an ‘end insight’!).

Which is, I suggest, to a […]

Well, to me that seemed a reasonable term at the time, Arps. Although frankly, it all seems a bit petty now.

Which is your opinion, Arps, but not necessarily true. Again, you need to provide evidence.

You’ll have to provide examples, Arpana. Otherwise, there’s no substance to your claims.

“To be for Osho and interested in Osho is seen by SD and Lokesh and Frank as pathological, and so we have much less access to the site, to post, and we are much more rigorously policed than Lokesh and […]

Satchit, my job is to try to ensure SN continues without the chronic repetition of habitual interpersonal abuse which, certainly in the context of online communication, only magnifies conflict and ill feeling, and […]

Quite so, Satchit.

As exemplified by the set-up in all Sannyas communes, not least the HQ in Poona.
