Before I start posting...

[Taoren]

Before I start posting and start getting negative feedback about many of the posts I post, I will include my opinion or Orthodox opinion and I will state which opinion very clearly.
If some of you whom may have an opinion please take the time to review your resources and education on the subject before stating that Taoism is much like Wicca or its supposed to be only a philosophy just because you think so. Valid, everyone has a right to opinion but that is all it is without fact and sometimes we all have to step back and let the ego reside to realize that sometimes opinion is not as important as fact and maybe set back and learn instead of living a life of disillusioned fantasy.

Im here to learn of others opinions and also opinions from experience as well education on the subject, even if I do not agree all the time and I am sure MANY of you will not agree with me I hope we can still learn from other perspectives with much respect towards each other.

'll be following your thread, Taoren. I would like to know more about Taoism. I liked your OP. I have learned from personal experience that such an OP is often necessary. Unfortunately, most people are less interested in learning than they are in winning an argument than you are. Good luck with your thread.

Seeing how I know nothing of Taoism, you won't have to worry about any incorrect remarks from this gentleman!

Incorrect remarks are o.k., hell Im sure Ill have a few - lol
Its when people pass remarks as fact or ignorant opinion with prejudice without anything to back up their theories is what gets most conversations heated. This is unnecessary and for those who want to learn drives them away, including myself - but of course feedback is necessary to learn and contribute to a conversation so sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

Nothing wrong with admitting your wrong at times. That's how thy learns!

And I'll tell you what's even worse: It's when people continue to make ignorant statements after you have explained why these statements are incorrect.

Ok, you've leveled the playing field, how 'bout getting down and talking turkey.
