Yep. Being the fist in the sock monkey has its downside. lol ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote :

This is a boldfaced lie Jim and you know it. Out of the thousands of posts from us I challenge you to find ONE that says this. Both Barry and I enjoyed our time in TM till we didn't and we are both having a grand old time at this stage of our lives. (For me my best decade ever,) What I find interesting is that both you and Nabbie consistently try to sell this idea that our lives are not good today somehow. It is more than just ill will wishing, you are making it up and positively asserting it as fact. Both of you doing exactly the same thing. You recently went off on a detailed rant on your fantasy that Barry and I are "unsuccessful." Nabbie clings to his fantasy that I am a beggar. What is most interesting is not that you two are wishing us ill, it is that you are comfortable telling lies here because you don't agree with our opinion about TM and don't accept your grandiose claims of living in a higher state of whatever. You are making up a story about our lives with at best zero evidence and at worst counterevidence, and stating it as a fact, again and again. It is simply a cowardly, dishonest tactic and I object to it. Sam Harris has been dealing with people like you, misquoting him to make him look bad, knowing that they have misrepresented what he actually said. I really feel for him. His stakes are much higher than two idiots on an obscure forum making shit up. But the mechanics are the same. By consistently telling the same narrative, re-writing my life story to fit your fantasy, you are attempting to win by attrition. I have no doubt that if we were all in a higher profile venue where your bullshit could actually hurt me, as Sam's critics are putting him in harms way with religious extremists, you would both do the same thing to me. You are both dishonest, malevolent creatures, knowing that I have little recourse. It doesn't matter what I present as counter-evidence to your "story" you will both continue the same thing. It does explain why you continue to try to pedal your story about yourself as a special little guy. Telling stories is all you guys got. And you and I both know that don't we? Thank you Curtis, you have just perfectly and eloquently summarized, to a 't', exactly how Bawwy operates here at FFL and why I respond to him the way I do. It was brilliant. but look over there, look what Maharishi did XX years ago! How scandalous, how horrible, how beautifully distracting!!". As the bumper sticker says, "Same shit, different day". It is amazing, how, once their motivations are sussed out, Barry and Curtis become spectacularly uninteresting, and about as provocative as dirt. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : You're right and I have no regrets as I'm fed up with Curtis, the howler from the streets, pretending to have something useful to say about the Movement. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Just an ugly comment. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : "Very Nabbie of you to slip in the poisonous "yet" when there is absolutely no connection or link between someone expressing their opinion here and violence of any kind." And Curtis claim to have studied philosophy. No wonder he ended up begging for cents on the streets as a reward for screaming and calling it "art".
