"Fairfield Life focuses on topics of interest to seekers (and finders) of truth and liberation everywhere." for me, if someone is just deliberately distorting stuff or even making it up out of their desire to get a rise out of others, i am not really interested in that; it isn't a topic of interest for me. rather than take the person to task for it, i just move on. with regard to a double standard on lies from public figures vs those here, it is all in the ramifications of the lies. if someone on this forum lies or distorts stuff, what is the result? nothing, really. imo, it is a big world and some poster making shit up is nothing to be concerned about in the least.
