New Moderators: Virgo and Grigoris

Post by Admin_PC »

Please join me in welcoming the new additions to the moderation team: Virgo and Grigoris.
We've been somewhat short-staffed for most of this year, so we're really happy to have the help.

Welcome guys. Thanks for being willing to do unpaid work!
1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)

Yeah - thanks for stepping up and doing what I'd imagine is mostly a thankless job. I also appreciate you guys for posting regularly too.

Good luck, guys! :twothumbsup:
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

If I remember correctly you said the same thing the last time I was moderator, and yet, here you are, still trying to troll away.

It seems your fears are unfounded. ;)

I actually didn't mean for this to post. My posts need to be approved by a moderator and I sometimes post things just for them. Odd that it was approved :thinking: ? No, makes perfect sense.

Third time's that charm, right? Good luck and good hunting!

I've noticed a distinct change of tone and content in your posts, boda. Don't want for this to come across patronising (since your "cutting hypocrisy and BS off at the knees" kind of posts sometimes hit the mark like no other) but yeah, change can be good, letting bygones be bygone can be good and not falling into old patterns (for all of us) can be even better.

Welcome (back) Greg and Virgo!

My posts have required moderator approval for a very long time, if you’re suggesting that’s causal. Long before you started posting here again.

Wouldn't that at very best be a conflict of interest, and at worst leave DW entirely bereft of your enthusiastic self-appointed service, Jiminy Cricket?
