It's an NPD Thang, Xeno. If you've convinced yourself that the POV held by
your self is "true," and that any POV that contradicts it is is "untrue," then
you get to make up the rules. There is absolutely *no problem* with declaring
someone an apostate from an organization that you declare is not a religion. :-)
It's a lot like having an argument in which there is only one participant --
the person trying to start the argument -- and then declaring one's self the
"winner." :-)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder really *does* explain almost all of the
aberrant behavior we see on FFL. I would suggest that this mental disorder is
the true legacy of Maharishi's teachings.
Bawwy once again proves himself the winner of the "Inadvertent Irony Award".
Congratulations once again. What does that make it now, about the tenth win for
you, Bawwy"?
:-)
