Hello David and Administrators,

Enjoying these forums! Thank you.

Perhaps this particular post should be closed?
It doesn’t seem to be productive at this
point…? (where it is going…)
What do you think? I am not
interested in continuing it. I don’t
know your policy on this issue…it’s
just a suggestion. Best with Blessings!
Keep up the great work…you are doing
a wonderful service.

A new student–someone like yalgaar (who started this thread)–can learn by your linked photo: what [I]not[/I] to do in headstand.

I will criticize no one unless asked by him to do so, and then only with a desire to help.

    Yogananda-Metaphysical Meditations

You have criticized “torontoyoga” rather too much, even though the criticism was in a polite form. By the law of action-reaction you got from him a counter-criticism, even though not in a quite polite form.

We all here are dedicated to yoga and friendly to one another. Let us make
peace again. And we will always have to remember the motto above of Yogananda.

Namaste

update: http://www.yogaforums.com/forums/f16/advanced-yoga-poses-4495.html

no other mods are on right now, so i am just going to close the thread for now and to soft-delete the off-topic posts until you guys can jump in.

what do you all think?

#3

That makes sense to me.

#4

to be clearer, i only did the soft-deletes and the close to hold the space for mod discussion. it can all be undeleted and opened…i am ok with either. i just didn’t want it to escalate further. david, what do you think? is this too much mod involvement?

techne, do you mean that you want to leave things soft deleted and closed?

#5

My vote is to hard delete the flame skirmish and re-open the thread in a couple weeks. Give it a pruning, and it may continue to bear fruit.

My apologies for the delayed response.

I didn’t have any major issue with anyone’s posts in the thread. I must admit I was surprised by the tone (I perceived) of TorontoYoga’s post but such is their experience. As such, I think the thread should be restored completely so that people can form their own opinions when researching that studio.

I’m fine leaving the thread closed if that’s what all of you prefer and since it seems to have made a member uncomfortable (based upon the reported post). However, as always, I’m a big fan of letting people have their experiences. If we sanitize things, we’re not allowing for that. I’m personally going through some stuff off the computer where part of me wishes someone would moderate it, but in the end, know there is a message for me, so am facing it.
