Just for the record, Chris, I missed the anger and bickering that seems to have disturbed you. I've just seen Gil, Glen, Hugh, Jane, et al trying to get a better grasp of each others understanding of what biodynamics is. (Among other things.) Gotta break some eggs to make omlets. Gotta smash some rocks together to make sparks. A lot of good ideas come through when folks like these start butting heads. Aside from this, how would this really work any other way, other than for the whole group to sit still and assume that one or two people really knew what biodynamics is/was/shall be and then plan to just listen to them? And then we can all done a pious mode, knowing that we know someone who knows? Well, that's not the way we do it here on Biodynamics Now! Aside from all of that, I think we've all come a long way in extending a modicum of civility as we share our insights and feelings. Folks, be polite by all means, and, yes, inhabit a living a prayer, but please don't allow yourself to be ashamed to share a divergent opinion, or a heartfelt question. -Allan Balliett moderator, BD Now!
