To come back to the topic at the same time, did Sky observe what has moved him to post this? Which kind of mind was responsible for this verbal kamma?

Indeed, this follows the general sentiment of the OP, which is the observation, and that mostly pertaining to ones own mind, though I suggest is wasn't intended to be used to challenge individuals who contribute to this thread. Rather, I thought it might be taken as a general facet of Buddhist practice which we each may self apply in practice. I think in Buddhist contexts, the living practice is important, and what one speaks of may assist us in a mutual noticing of deeper aspects of ourselves.
