If Judy disputes this, she can simply find and repost any post she has made taking Nabby or Jim to task over their consistent Tibet-bashing and Buddhist-bashing over the years. I doubt she'll be able to find and repost a single one, much less more than one. The thing is, neither Nabby or I are Buddhists. I have never taken refuge or joined any formal Buddhist order, and never will, although I have learned some techniques from Buddhist teachers. Both Nabby and Jim just take this approach because they're still "stung" by things we've said poking fun at TMers, and they hope that bashing Buddhists and Buddhism will similarly get under our skin. History has proven that it doesn't. Neither of us is *like* them -- or Judy -- so identified with a *group* that anything said about that group is perceived as a personal insult or attack. That's *their* samskara, not ours. I've studied with Yaqui shamans, too. I wonder how long it'll take Nabby to start bashing them now that I've pointed it out. And for Judy to quietly sit back and allow him to do so. :-) But if Curtis does a funny Tyler Perry riff on someone that Judy identifies with as both a woman and a <genuflect> TMer, he's evil and she goes bat shit crazy over it. If I or Vaj point out how idiotic many of the TM beliefs and practices are , in Judy's mind that is nigh unto a hate crime. Or at least she'll "spin" it that way, because that'll allow her to do what she really wants to do -- bash one of her perceived "enemies." Nabby posting this photo didn't bother me in the least, nor did his trying to associate it with me. I just shrugged and moved on to the next post. But Judy would have never said a word about it if Curtis hadn't called her on her silence. Her claim to have not reacted because she "hadn't seen it yet" is an absolute lie, and her own past history on this forum proves it.
