Most people, personality-wise, are probably pretty much just like their online persona - unless they are posers, according to Judy - and that would be dishonest. They wouldn't be able to hold up under close scrutiny.
People that want to join a public discussion group don't usually just take on different personalities for no reason.That would be considered to be trolling. People who do this consciously in public are sometimes termed schizophrenic by psychologists. In an online discussion we pretty much read what we read - there's not much wiggle room for deceit - although since we no longer have the benefit of Judge Judy, there are several informants that try to get away with posting fibs. Go figure. There's no logical reason for anyone on this list, anyone that wants to show any street-cred - to pose as someone else - they would be outed in just a few minutes. The fact is, that NOBODY posting here knows what is going on with the TMO and probably never have - no matter how many biscuits they baked or how many mantras they sold. There are no TMO insider informants on this list, except for maybe Alex, and he already told us everything we need to know about the comings-and-goings in Vedic City.And, Share and Buck have told us everything we need to know about the comings-and-goings of the TMer in Fairfield. > On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:04 AM, [email protected] [FairfieldLife] <[email protected]> wrote: > > > seems decent enough, from the trike vids.
