"Coming to terms with it" is exactly what they're *not* doing. There's something distinctly wrong with people who spend huge amounts of time for many years longer than they spent in the TMO compulsively complaining about their experience and doing their best to interfere with other folks' enjoyment of the practices. But I don't think it really has much of anything to do with TM. That kind of behavior is a personality trait; they get some kind of twisted satisfaction from complaining and going to great lengths to be unpleasant. Their situation vis-a-vis TM simply gives them an opportunity, an excuse, to indulge in those behaviors. If they "came to terms with it," they'd have to find some other justification for being obnoxious. This one works just fine for them, so why bother?
