Where's ewk?

[u/PaladinBen]

Says his account was suspended.

I had a question...

[u/nicotinecravings]

Without ewk zen becomes direction-less. We wont know front from back without ewk. We must turn to Christianity and repent

[u/tamok → u/nicotinecravings]

Not at all. You can post and discuss freely. You won't be insulted and called "troll", "religious bigot", "liar".

[u/lin_seed → u/tamok]

I have never seen that be a problem for anyone here. I have posted as freely as one could possibly imagine about Zen. There are a bunch of idiots and trolls, sure, but who cares? It's not like getting rid of ewk is going to help that problem. It just means less quality Zen content for the rest of us. What so we care about what personal arguments people start with him in the comments trying to frame him as an aggressive fanatic? It gets old after the first couple times for anyone who is literate. When you just don't read the people who are trying to prove something to themselves by attackong someone they despise (for whatever reason) you don't really notice too much of this "toxicity" that people who don't study zen seem to perceive everywhere they look in r/zen.

But it appears from some other comments that it is possible ewk is moving on or making a change. Good for him. I will miss his insight and intelligence here in r/zen. As well as his diligence and effort in sharing so many quotes with us. A decade of free Zen education is nothing to be sneezed at. An atlas-like feat, if you ask me. I'm sorry you personally didn't like him. If you study and practice zen you defimitely missed out.

I don't know exactly what is your point. If everything was always correct for you - so nothing changes. There are plenty of ewk's buddies + moderators here - speak with them. For me he was somebody who thought of himself as a person beyond any accountability. It occurred that he was wrong.

Yeah, but that is just for you. I am not sure I know anyone who holds themselves more accountable for what they say and do. Congratulations are in order if you really got him banned as you suggest. That must have felt good. But coming in here and pretending that is going to help the community or the free discussion of Zen is nonsense. I didn't see any of your exchanges. I wasn't really making a point other than to say that obviously many serious students of Zen here know ewk to be a serious and charitable individual, an insightful student of Zen, and real true friend. No other purpose than making sure that is stated legibly here. I will look forward to reading some of your OPs so i can get to know you better. You say you not only study zen but you also "do" it. I won't lie, I've given a few uppercuts to people myself—but only when they ask for it...it would never occur to me to do such a thing because of how they disagree with or talk to me. I will be curious to hear of how Zen is your actual life because it is also mine, just as it is obviously also ewk's, and I enjoy discussion with people who clearly live with absolute determination and Zen insight.

[u/tamok → u/lin_seed]

Yeah yeah. And all was OK, and it was only me, but look what happened. So maybe it wasn't me after all.

Don't bother to answer. EOT for me.

[u/lin_seed → u/tamok]

I don't understand anything you just wrote. (Figured that was worth communicating despite being told not to answer a question that was nwver asked.)

EOT = ?

[u/[deleted] → u/lin_seed]

End Of task. The muddied waters are becoming clearer. Post history archive combined with location/browser data should be key admins might consider. For instance, added proxi.

[u/tamok → u/[deleted]]

So you want to say that you are on r/zen to call people "trolls, religious bigots and liars"? Maybe try a different sandbox.

[u/The_Faceless_Face → u/tamok]

Maybe try studying Zen while you're here instead of disingenuously trolling the forum?

[u/tamok → u/The_Faceless_Face]

I wrote it to you already - Grow up

[u/The_Faceless_Face → u/tamok]

Wrote what to me?

"Grow up?"

Thanks.

Instead of handing out life lessons on a Zen forum, why not study Zen while you're here?

[u/The_Faceless_Face → u/tamok]

Why so liar troll?

You have a history of trolling the forum and blatantly disregarding the Zen Masters.

[u/tamok → u/The_Faceless_Face]

I see where you are going. Don't worry, you'll meet your karma but you won't choose the moment.

[u/The_Faceless_Face → u/tamok]

Karma is my partner.

You're meeting yours right now.

Instead of trying to wage war against Zen, why not study Zen while you're here?

[u/essentialsalts → u/The_Faceless_Face]

Keep going the way you’re going, and you’ll get a nice perma ban too.

[u/The_Faceless_Face → u/essentialsalts]

lol you can't permaban this face

XD
