I found that academic tome interesting. As one who experienced turquoiseb on coming on this forum, I re-post below his comments to Robin after Robin came on FFL: "I'm also not the kinda person who is going to assume that what you say about your experiences or your purported state of consciousness -- past or present -- is true, just because you say it. Some people are. Given your reaction -- some would say overreaction -- to people not treating your words the way you wanted them to, you might be happier trying your spiel on easier audiences." "I don't give a shit about your experiences decades ago in Fairfield. If you have any interest for me at all, it will be based on who and what you are today, here and now. And it will be based on what you can come up with to say that might have some relationship to my life. Talking about your subjective experiences and expecting people to be as fasc- inated by them as you were (and obviously still are) is just not gonna cut it. I'd rather read people swapping good recipes for lemon meringue pie." "Are we clear? I have nothing against you. I'm not looking to "knock you down." I'm just bored by some of your raps, that's all. They have no relevance to my life. And I some- times get the feeling that you don't CARE whether what you say has any relevance to my life, or anyone else's. You give the impression of someone writing with the expectation that others will find his subjective, inner life fascinating, just because he finds it fascinating." "Some might. Many New Agers or long-term TMers might. I'm neither one of those. I'm just a guy who likes to jackpot ideas around for the fun of it, with other people who like the same thing. What I write on this forum is my OPINION, nothing more. I try my best to never claim that this opinion is either fact, or that anyone else should share it." "You give the impression of someone who is convinced that his subjective view of the world and how it works is more than opinion. Good luck finding people who might agree with you about this. You haven't found one in me." That seems pretty straightforward to me.
