I hope that you are not setting an example by this example.

Dotan may not be setting an example among your circle of enlightened
beings but he very well may be in his circle.  He's not breaking his arm
patting himself on the back, instead he is making explicit what is
occult on email.  Unless someone from his circle is also on this list,
we can't see that he is leading by example except by being told so.

Since not everyone on this list is as enlightened as you two are, then
he may be leading by example (or, to give the devil his due, by claimed
example) here too.

Every individual is equally important in the great scheme of things.  It
is only from narrow viewpoints that some seem more important than
others.

Thanks.

Doug.
