Well it’s strongly implied.

I’m just rephrasing it to frame it as a command. That’s basically what a rule is. A command. A rule has imperativeness.

We’re shooting for good qualities and bad qualities here. Like 2 lists.

True. But if they censor you then they’re a censor.

You can trust the uninformed to express their own will truthfully at least. (Unless they’re convinced to side with an authority). There’s a reliable truth there. I guess that’s the rock of democracy.

Is this good or bad?

Imagine a censor who thinks that all of his weird dogmatic opinions are pure golden truth picking over your conversations and rewriting or removing everything he doesn’t like. A rather stupid, sloppy censor who couldn’t get the point if it was underlined twice.

Imagine what your posts would convey then.

“Don’t make me ban you!” Isn’t a rule.

A rule would be “don’t say anything I dislike”

That’s one legal implementation of the idea.

The actual idea goes something like : speech that flows freely without inhibition.

If you intend to wax pedantic then at least give us your definition. This secondhand linked pedantry crosses the line.

Good : It makes the conversation intelligent and sane.

Bad : People sometimes say bad things.

My view : meditation is a thing that you do with your awareness.

We have two techniques. The concentration, and the observing while refraining from moving your awareness thing.

Both lead to stillness although via different means.

One shrinks, the other grows.

We had shovels in the stone age.

Destroying your thesis is sufficient. For now I will simply let your uncertainty fester.

“thinking about a thing” isn’t how you meditate.

See, your conclusion is based upon a false assumption.

Well if X has value then 2X probably has double the value. Does that make sense?

I like your fire.

Have you ever directed your attention at a thing? Or concentrated?

Of course you have. It’s a great trick. You might even call it indispensable.

Well imagine if you could take it further.

And imagine if there was another trick.

heck yes

Digging holes with a shovel. I’m good at that.

Whittling. Drawing.

Meditation.

That fruit hangs so low you needed to dig a hole to pick it
