Purported "troll" sighting on alt.yoga
omjaroo
ten... oooh k...
Puma,
As a yogi and regular participant of alt.yoga, I feel a responsibility
to encourage newcomers to the group, as well as to promote amicable,
robust and on-topic discussion. After all this is what I want from
alt.yoga.
So regarding your purported "troll" sighting on alt.yoga
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.yoga/browse_frm/thread/960dcb4903f96574/0af32509dcdc366a#0af32509dcdc366a
Why would you characterize this post/poster as a troll/trolling?
1. This post seems to be "on topic". That is, it refers to yoga
"sticky-mats", wood floors (as in a studio maybe) and body sweat/oil
(as in physical exercise)
2. This post is not spam as there is no reference to any commercial
product, address or URL.
3. This post is not inflammatory, obviously not controversial and
certainly not rude.
4. A quick review of the poster's Google profile appears to indicate a
pattern of responsible and on topic posting for over 11 years.
On it's "face" I can only see this question as a reasonable inquiry.
Perhaps a bit out of the ordinary for alt.yoga but nothing that even
remotely suggests "troll".
Would you be so kind as to explain your concern?

My dear Jared,
Are you saying to me that when you do troll it is good and has a
reason? But when I do it,it is not good and it has no reason?
Please be reasonable... TROL IS TROL, no matter who has done it and why
is done it...
Do you see your explanation really feasible?
With compassion,
Puma

Puma my friend,
I am having trouble understanding what you are saying :-(
You claimed to have seen a troll. Great!
I questioned your troll sighting and created another thread to discuss
it.
You say I should not be the only one to claim troll. OK, that seems
obvious :-)
I think one should not call others troll without providing an
explanation.
But you still haven't said why you think the post was a troll.
I hope I was clear about why I think it wasn't a troll.
And so here we are. Your turn :-)

Jared,
It is very clear ,if I myself or someother person does write any poster
without having any relation to yoga it is called by yourself as TROLL.
But if samething is done by yourself it is not called as TROLL...It may
only be called PURPORTED TROLL,,,
Okey ... Am I wrong? Or did I get it right?
Thats okey Jared. Do whatever you wish....

Puma,
OK let me see if I have this clear. You called a troll alert because me
and another person were discussing how to clean yoga mats? Is this
correct?
And who exactly are you suggesting is the troll? Me or the person who
asked the question? Of both of us?

just a shot in the dark,
but maybe someone is confusing urethaned floor with urine stained floor.

It's the only reason I could think of that would make the OP seem off
topic and trollish.
On further consideration though, another may be that Patanjali never
mentions cleaning the sticky matts.

However the yoga pradipika, in addressing cleanliness does exhort us
to make proper use of cow dung.
13. The room should have a small door, be free from holes, hollows,
neither too high nor too low, well plastered with cow-dung
and free from dirt, filth and insects.

have great powers of discernment. One must, after all, be able to know
the difference between cow dung and B.S.

I understand that kakasana is helpful for staying "above" it.

Speaking of "kakasana," there are a number of asanas which give great
benefit to the digestive tract that may of help/use to you. Benefits
are incremental and cumulative, so regular, ie daily practice is
necessary. If you want I can post them
