The Schiffgens clip was an absolutely cringe inducing performance worthy the 
Gong Show. Lynch was heroic. He did his best to treat Schiffgens with respect 
and well as keep an angry mob from storming the stage. Bless his heart. 

The TM critics have always had plenty of ammo available to dissuade people from 
starting TM. This clip is just one more bomb in the arsenal. They will persist 
and may dissuade a few here and there, but they will not prevail. People who 
want to start TM will start regardless of any amount of dirty laundry the TM 
critics unload. It might even make some folks curious enough to start TM just 
to see what all the fuss was. 

It's much more exhilarating for TM critics to say, "Hey, look at that idiot, 
Schiffgens, if you do TM you might end up like HIM," than say, "Lynch has the 
patience of a saint, if you do TM you might end up like HIM." 

In either case, it is a mistake to judge the value of TM by the actions of an 
idiot or a saint. There is no measure of idiocy or sainthood before, during or 
after TM. Whether we witness the actions of Schiffgens the buffoon, Lynch the 
angel of mercy or Bevan the fascist bully, TM will prevail as wholly separate 
from them.
