Over the past few weeks, other writers, outside the Shorinji Kempo community, have posted to this forum, in some cases, in blatant self-interest (ie troll). Whilst this may not be respectful nor desirable, I have been saddened by the vitriolic discourtesy exhibited by some of our kenshi is their replies. Although this is a Shorinji Kempo forum, it is not a dojo and certainly not barred to non-kenshi.
Remember Seigan 1 "... to respect our elders, and not slight the young ...". Making sarcastic remarks is not in the budo spirit as the outcome is not self-development but merely self-gratification. Also, the basic rules of this forum are:
Please sign your posts with your full name.
Profanity will not be tolerated.
Blatant commercial advertising is not allowed.
*** Treat your fellow E-Budo members with respect. ***
Just because others do not show respect does not automatically mean that we should respond in kind. I propose that our best response to troll-behaviour is actually to do... nothing. Eventually, they will get bored and go else where.
