MS,
Note that all the sub-forums contain threads of great diversity...some are poignant and some downright irrelevant, depending on who's doing the reading. You take Zen to be so precious a subject perhaps that you feel its tainted by being put into words that you deem irrelevant to its body of understanding?...that's why I said empty your cup...the saying to delete the forum was just to show its Zen fashion to not hold anything. Your last response leads me to observe you are holding still onto this idea Zen has been tainted with words, and in this sense...your cup is full.
