I said nothing about "benevolence," Share. You made that up. And as I said, you can fantasize anything you like about my motivations for asking the question. I told you what they were. > Even in the post immediately below, you use one of your > standard tactics.

"Imagine" is a synonym of "think." In other words: Based on your EXPERIENCE, you *imagined* that my motivation was different from what I told you it was. > Actually you are doing what you accused me of in the gazing > discussion: you are being indirect in your hostility. There was no hostility, indirect or otherwise, in my question. *You* chose to turn this into a hostile exchange. If you had just responded "Yes" or "No," that would have been all there was to it. But you chose to *imagine* and *fantasize about* my motivations. > More than this, here you are indirectly misrepresenting what > I said just as you did in the gazing discussion. I have done no such thing, Share. You are *directly*--and very deliberately--misrepresenting what I've said. > In that instance your left out something essential that I said, > about gazing being too top down. Share, you're lying. I looked up those posts. I acknowledged what you'd said about gazing having initially been teacher- to-student. > With two words here, imagine > and later fantasized, you misrepresent what I said. Nope, wrong. You're the misrepresenter, and it's chronic with you. > This is my extended answer to your question about my taking > the FFL heat. The short answer is yes. OK, thank you for the short answer. That's all I was asking for. > PS I enjoyed your funny post about Obama and Romney debating > classical Indian music and your post quoting Maharishi on love. Not interested in your insincerities, Share. If you're going to be hostile, just be authentically hostile. Don't try to sugar-coat it and pretend you're all sweetness and light. > ________________________________ > From: authfriend <authfriend@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 7:21 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fw: The Science of Compassion, for Wednesday > > >  > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@> wrote: > > > > Based on my previous experience answering a question of yours, > > I think you are more than JUST curious, more than JUST desiring > > to investigate and learn. > > You are free to imagine whatever you like, Share. > > > Nonetheless in this instance, I gave you the benefit of the > > doubt and asked you what you mean by JUST curious. I'm > > putting JUST in all caps because you seem to have missed it > > in my comment and question. > > > > BTW, if YOU don't want to answer MY question, YOU can also > > say so. And that would also be an answer of a sort. > > Well, I did answer it, of course.
