    Dear Mark,

    > As you run this group, you are well aware that an incredible number
    of the trainee magi *are* impressionable and furthermore many have
    difficulty understanding and comprehending many *simple* instructions
    of magical training.

    When you state that *you* as the leader of this group have a postive
    experince of what is ultimately and *unquestionably* a neagtive vice
    you are opening the floodgates and acting irresponsibly. <

    1. An "incredible number"?

    At the time of writing there were 604 subscribers to this forum.

    Speculating on the percentage of those who are sufficiently
    "impressionable" to go rushing through those "floodgates" in a frantic
    bid to imitate Rawn's smoking.......I suspect the number dwindles
    towards, oh, ZERO.

    2. I further suspect that few of the subscribers to this forum are
    still wearing diapers. Most of us are capable of making well-reasoned
    decisions regarding personal matters.

    3. On the matter of "unquestionably negative" behaviours, whether
    it's smoking or masturbating or driving a car or eating meat or
    chain-sawing peoples' limbs off...... all behaviours simply *are*.

    It's for *the individual* - by exercising his/her conscience - to
    decide whether these things are "good" or "bad".

    Surely the earliest parts of IIH make that plain:

    * The introduction to Step One: "Refrain from condemning or
    criticizing and sweep your own doorstep first"

    * The preparation of the Soul Mirrors in Step 1.

    All the best,

    Jason
