THE LINK FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON MY BLOG WAS BROKEN. IT IS NOW FIXED.
Some years ago, one person with some mental health issues posted on my blog around 1000 (one thousand) comments in the space of a few days. As a precaution, we stopped the capacity to post comments.
Unfortunately, the link at the foot of the blog to Submit Comment got broken. I asked a couple of IT people to see if it could be fixed but they could not fix it.
Good news. Nicole and I are teaching a retreat together this week here in Germany. I spoke to her about the broken link. Very kindly, she looked into the problem on my Word Press blog. She downloaded a new template for my blog with comment function. Cool.
Readers of the blog can now post a comment on the blog. You write your comment, press the link and it will send your message to my email and then I send to the blog.
Since May 2007, I have posted a weekly blog. More than 400 blogs in the past eight years have been written. The blogs include social, political, corporate, global critiques, poems, book reviews, communications, meditations, mindfulness teachings, spiritual exercises and so on.
From time to time, readers of the blog would send me really irate email messages demanding to know why I refused to allow readers to post a comment. It is so easy for any of us to jump to conclusions about a situation based on what we see and then we have an immediate reaction. This blogger had no wish to stop comments.
I look forward to receiving your comments. Well, some of them! Some of the essays/critiques/polemics may challenge some conventional views of issues of our time.
There is also access, via the blog, to my six websites with annual teaching schedule at the top of most websites, Dharma e-News, email, bio and categories for all the blogs listed in Topics for easier access to similar themes.
