Which is foremost - Dhamma or Vinaya?

@samseva

I was part of the bicycle discussion, so I’m guessing a lot of these things are directed, or based on me. . .

I find it unlikely that any of “these things are directed” at you. The Forum exists to discuss the EBTs, and ideas and issues around the EBTs.

Not for interpersonal flurries.

3.1 Please do:

• keep to the thread topic that is indicated in the OP (opening post)
• start a new thread if you feel some aspect of an existing thread is worth further discussion, by using the Reply as linked topic option …
• make personal concerns impersonal by rephrasing to (eg) “What do the EBTs say about ….?” or use the Personal Message (PM) feature (this is not moderated) to discuss with like-minded friends

The way ideas have been expressed in this thread have been in the main delightfully impersonal.

May the thread develop in a way that assists all its readers to a clearer understanding without involving personalities.
