By now I think we know who the real ankle-biters on FFL are: one is the owner,
one is the editor, and the other two have left the group for their own reasons.
We will probably never know for sure what happened between the
participants because MMY is gone, and he can't be cross-examined.
I think it was very unfair that Judith waited until after MMY
passed to make her claims - that way she could not be be
contradicted.
There are a few still left here who would take any opportunity to
denigrate our teacher and try to confuse us as to the truth about
our spiritual path and MMY's teachings. One is a long-time
informant who persists in her insidious and false claims on this
and other subjects. Go figure.
