The ridiculously named "TM-Free" blog is anything *but* TM-Free. It's all TM, all the time. Unhealthy-TM-Obsession Blog is a more accurate description. As for me, I no longer do TM, but I value what TM and living in Fairfield have done for me. I think TM is a great meditation technique, and I think it's a shame that the TMO no longer makes TM widely available for a reasonable price that most people could afford. My attitude about MMY is that his coming to the West greatly changed my life for the better, and I'm thankful to him for it. His rumored sex life and whether or not his teachings are Vedicly legit according to some tradition are not interesting or relevant to me.
