The question is, why would someone want to troll under an alias and trash a discussion and make themselves look like an atheistic asshole? It just doesn't make any sense to normal people seeking answers to the spiritual life. When people do that it indicates they probably have OCD or serious anger management issues. In fact, it's dishonest to use an alias in a real online discussion. Only newbies and adolescents do that because they are trying to hide something from their parents. But, it is especially strange for science writers to post using an alias - I mean, who is going to do an internet search for a "salyavin808" - everything you post to the internet is lost in Warehouse 13. What a waste of time. In contrast, most of my information forms a huge data base of information and I'll be famous for several generations.You are a nobody. I think you are quite probably insane. Uh, DUH. Are people on Fairfield Life *just* noticing this? I wouldn't say "just" as I do tend to avoid his stuff unless it pertains to something of mine and even then usually I just ignore him anyway. But I felt obliged to respond to that one as it came from nowhere, just a stupid joke about my screen name. I'm surprised that I obviously I get under his skin. I'm kinda pleased about it, as the resort to abuse must mean he has no good answer. But I'd be worried if I actually disliked someone for their opinions about something, like it matters! I judge people by what they're like as people, not by what they think of fundamental reality. I'd be lonely if I did. LOL. I think it was me me finding that one of his quotes was lifted from Wiki, it must have pissed him off. I'd be embarrassed, but then I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Own the knowledge guys! Not the greatest advertisement for "creative intelligence" ever, eh? :-) I would say not. If I was in charge of the TMO I would pay him off or ask him to claim to be a Scientologist or something.. You guys are making me laugh. You're all former meditators and teachers, or did you selectively forget that small factoid?
