[QUOTE="Siri Kamala, post: 138398, member: 13802"] Annnnd... Ta Da! This, in summary, is why communicating in text rather than face-to-face absolutely sucks. :crash: I'm a mediator. I've moderated a dozen or so email discussion groups in my time. I should know this by now. :banghead: And yet I think sometimes, I get so caught up in my enthusiasm for a discussion that I forget this one basic thing: the message won't matter if the medium in which the message is conveyed is inadequate to the task of fully delivering the intended content of the message -- it's like Shakespeare trying to send a sonnet using smoke signals. The signal-to-noise ratio results in a recipe for fail. So... dear [B]findingmyway ji[/B] , since there are no olivebranchkaur smileys available, I'll have to use this one ---> :flowers: and this one ---> peacesignkaur to convey my intent. And I want to apologize for my contribution to this misunderstanding. I was under the impression that your feedback was directed to me personally (which resulted in my responding to what you were saying in a more personal manner). Now it is clear to me that it is not. peacesignkaur And I also want to [U][U]underscore[/U][/U] that there is no part of me that wants to argue you or anyone else out of their position/beliefs about kesh, the 5 K's, or anything else. My [I]sole intent[/I] -- as God is my witness -- has simply been to hold forth that, like you, I am also finding my way -- [I]my [B]own[/B] way[/I] -- and that my only real quibble is with the notion that sehajdhari is the beginning of a progression and amritdhari is the journey's end. I realize that this is probably the way most people see it. Maybe it's the Martin Luther in my DNA, for I am his descendant, but I guess for me these are simply different-but-equally valid paths to the same goal, not a progression. I don't mind being a bit iconoclastic. I daresay, from what I've seen, being iconoclastic is a proud tradition among Sikhs. :thumbup: I've had people tell me, back when I was a Christian, that I was not a "real" Christian because I was pro-choice, or believed gay people should have the right to get married, or don't think anyone is going to burn in Hell for having premarital sex.
