You make good points, although TM folks haven’t been persecuted the way Jews have, so anti-semitism is a touchier issue, as racism would be too. As with all such things, there’s no clear-cut demarkation. No absolute right or wrong. Hard to judge wisely, especially with my drive-by style of moderating. But again to your point, imagine a White Supremacist were in here spewing outrageous nastiness on a regular basis. I think most all would agree that he should be banned. So it’s a matter of degree, and when someone moves a bit too far in that direction, in my opinion, he should be warned and if he ignores the warning, banned.

If someone says TM is of the devil etc. with ALL CAPS etc....will you give equal warnings? Free speech allows the negativity addicts to expose themselves for what they are, see? Don't get me wrongly -- I'd toss out about half of the folks posting here regularly for their vile trolling and personal attacks. But that's just me as if it were Edg's Party. If you were throwing an actual real world party and these folks showed up, I'd never come to one of your parties again. But now that they're here, lemonade can be made by pointing out that these broken psyches were never helped by TM -- a strong warning to any who are being sucked into the promised-heavens. Imagine if you'd attended a 1st lecture and Nabby and Willy were there saying, "I'm a long time TMer!" -- would you have started? Ugh, huh? Oh, maybe YOU would, but not me....I'd judge the technique by the results. Of course, if your party were "the ideal conversation pit" with everyone being civil, informed, logical -- I wouldn't be allowed, because I love to scream. Sigh......
