Share, I suppose it is a matter of "hurting his feelings". But really this is just his M O 90% of time. Demeaning and insulting is what he does. It is how he interacts. He will sometimes defend those people he likes, but mostly he just insults and demeans the people he doesn't like. And it doesn't take much to go from one to the other.
And that is why I am so perplexed how someone would ascribe "loyalty" as one of his traits. I mean DD came dangerous close to go from Ravi's friend list to his enemy's list with a comment he made. If DD had come up with an unfavorable follow up comment, then we likely would have seen the famous Ravi switch. BTW, I'll post DD's comment here, since I felt it was so appropiate. DD "Ravi:The grinding sound is because you are stuck in first gear. Push in the clutch and shift into second, then third, etc." It was a good comment. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Thank you Steve for all your support. Hope you and family are well and happy. I very much regret having hurt Ravi's feelings. > > > > ________________________________ > From: seventhray1 lurkernomore20002000@... > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, December 7, 2012 9:17 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: A Second Open Letter to Bill Howell, author of CULT > > >  > Share, > Always consider the source. As Ravi has said, much of his dysfunctionality is a matter of the public record, except for those posts (a considerable amount) he has managed to have expunged. > He is on the record here, saying that he issued an ultimatum to his wife that she renounce Amma as her guru and instead accept him as her guru. > So, as I've said, consider the source. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Chivukula chivukula.ravi@ wrote: > > > > Share - I have to add, your posts to this thread have hilarious in their > > utter clueless-ness. > > > > You are not a person who has, so far shown any awareness, sensitivity, > > maturity - intellectual and/or emotional, intelligence to understand the > > nuances of any issue to be really compassionate.
