So, tartbrain, what did you accomplish with your "kinder, gentler" rebuttal of Sal's contention that Gurr wasn't referring to the Maharishi Effect, and that Brian and some TM Web sites had deliberately misrepresented what he said?
Your posturing has enabled her to obfuscate (just as I had predicted she would) and pretend that, gosh, all she'd ever objected to was their changing "coherence-creating groups" to "Maharishi Effect" (even though the two terms are obviously synonymous in context). So she gets to avoid taking any responsibility for her original incredibly dumb error and for falsely (and very nastily) accusing Brian and the Web sites of deception on the basis of that error. She's sent that straight down the memory hole (as she's done before on other similar occasions). What will the result be? She'll just do it again. When you treat a person with no ethics as if they had integrity, what they learn is that there are no consequences for allowing their own biases to twist factual reality into a pretzel and to viciously slander those who stand up for the facts. Enabling unethical behavior, like enabling alcoholism, just perpetuates it. Fine work, dude. You sure showed us the great advantages of your approach. I mean, it isn't as though lack of integrity causes any problems in the world or anything, so let's just sweep it under the rug. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine <salsunsh...@...> wrote: > > On Jul 25, 2010, at 9:29 AM, tartbrain wrote: > > > However, the only sites that came up upon a > > search of "coherence-creating groups on > > conflict" and "coherence-creating groups" > > was ME and Invincibility studies on TM group > > programs. > > > > Are you aware of other coherence-creating > > groups on conflict that Gurr may have been > > referring to? > > No. However, that still doesn't justify > doctoring the quote.
