One can't really fight with Robbie, due to his fragile constitution. The best we can do is poke him a little with a pointy stick.

I'm so good I should be getting paid for being here and doing this!

I'm so good, my friends always say, "Jesus..God!" every time they see me coming. 😵

Good according to whose standard? Yours or Gods?

Due to his loveable nature and unassailable logic more like! 😵

Some people are merely contentious for contentiousness sake, its rather predictable.

This is a debate forum about deeply held spirituality beliefs, why on earth do you think it won't be contentious.

As a case in point, just pop in to the Clans forum, hey.

I know, those metaliskunks are always fomenting contention! I tried to preach Zen to them but they would not listen.

One doesn't preach Zen, one 'is' Zen.

Based on rating...

I'm not quite as good as you, but better than karoly.

Based on your appalling morals passed off as Christianity i'm better than both of you guys

I think someone in this thread has a lower rating than you.

I believe rating has much to do with how much training you have received and how much time you have put into it. 10 years ago anyone could beat me.

I disagree.

As Ghost alluded to, one doesn't preach Zen.

A master only answers questions when asked. He doesn't ram stuff down people's throaghts

You have perhaps a rather orthodox conception of preaching I suspect, its always dangerous to assume anything. Infact I was watching a video the other day when the Dalai Lama was 'preaching', to a small audience about how enlightenment would come not through prayers and religious teaching, but education. Are you suggesting that the Dalai Lama is ramming his message down peoples throats?

This reeks of passivity! Clearly I am a new style of Zen Master.😵
