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.
