You have posted something and I'm asking for clarifications but with my own sense of (unsuccessful) humour. If you wish to spend your time making posts like these expect to be questioned. In fact, talk about your practice and expect to be questioned. Expect to be questioned for any post you make at the DhO. It's the norm. Just like you have the right to question Daniel's use of the term 'arahat'.
I didn't spot the humour (seems you, like me are a Brit!). My bad :-)
Do you have a practice that is stagnating/not taken off yet/progressing/other? And if so, how will knowing who in your list is whatever version of arhat you hold will help with such a practice? Also what is the version of arahat that you adhere to?
<tongue-in-cheek>How does knowing whether I have a stagnating practice help you with your practice? How does knowing how my knowing about arahat-ship do the same? Why do you ask about which version of arahat I adhere to? This reminds me of the guy in a sutta who wanted to know what the arrow was made of, who fired it, what was the weight, how far did it go in, was it made with love, etc rather than just having it removed first. </tongue-in-cheek>
If anything "stagnating" makes me sound more advanced than I am. It's very slow going. And of course knowing who is on the list won't help at all. However, I believe that getting to know people on here via questioning and chatting, both formal and informal, will. My experience has always been that substantial conversation is best sat atop insubstantial conversation.
As to which version of arahat -- I don't have one. The point of my question wasn't to get answers -- it was, rather, the *getting of* answers. If you see the difference?
I have no intention nor 'urge' to develop a 'rapport' with anyone.
Why ever not? Are we perhaps using the word "rapport" in different ways? I find it easier to talk openly with people I like, respect, and in general "know" to some extent. And for some subjects it is only with such people that I would discuss them at all.
Do you wish to talk about your practice in another thread or not at all? This interests me so I ask about it.
My primary reason for being here is to help my practice and, perhaps one day, be able to help others with their's. But as I say, I personally find that is best done with some surrounding banter. We're only human, after all.
