You are the person who started and manage the perma-psychology forum?
That is an important list; maybe you could invite others to join and
participate. This would be a good topic to analyze and discuss there,
humble in spirit and eager to learn new things.


And whether or not this is how it was intended, this statement reads to me
like, "I'm tired of this discussion, so why don't you leave MY space and
take it back to yours." Again, I don't know if this is how it was intended,
but that's how it feels to me.

Not in the slightest. I meant exactly what I said. I asked if she was the originator of the perma-psychology list and could she please announce it to this list in the hopes of gaining new people to discuss
important topics and that this particular thread would be a good topic to pick apart, ethics in permaculture also.

I'm not arguing for censorship, biting of tongues, or holding one's self
back. I would like to advocate for taking a few moments to think about what
you're writing, what meaning it conveys (or might convey) to others, and
making a good faith effort to convey your intended meaning in a way that is
honest and polite. That's all. It isn't usually hard (although it can be),
it just means pausing for a few moments before hitting "Send."

That is excellent advice. Thanks.
