name on a.m.t - for no apparent reason at all. I just chalked it up to a
personal bias of his based on my birth circumstances.
It was only later that I realized that he was from Texas too and that he
had a clear case of cognitive dissonance.
So, I've come to expect very little justice and real honesty from any of
the respondents on these forums posting anonymously. Hiding behind an
alias and posting prejudiced statements seems to be par for the course,
yourself included./ /

Glad it made you laugh.

Curtis, I'm still LOLing as I reply. What got me laughing was your
comment about what is overrated at this stage of life. Being vague so
others can enjoy it for themselves...
Have fun tomorrow and I look forward to your report.

I've watched this will some alarm because last time I was posting
here I had to try to back down Jim and Nabby from creating fantasy
ill-will scenarios about my personal life in response to me posting
my opinions about Maharishi's teaching. It was an escalation of their
MO since I began posting here. I am happy to see it resolved with Jim
creating his own page while hilariously claiming that it was because
OTHER people were not being civil here! I do not believe it will last
any more than his participation on then other "enlightened" forum,
but hope to be proven wrong.
I think you were right to go the legal route because they were
crossing a weird and disturbing line Barry. There is no parity
between how you post here and what those guys were up to.
FFL has gone through many different incarnations as strongly
influential posters come and go. I viewed the end of the Judy era as
a positive thing, but was disturbed to see how others escalated to
fill the gap. Judy ran her routine in a much more interesting way
IMO, so despite strongly dissagreing with her most of the time, I was
entertained and prompted to write more many times because of her
participation. That degraded in the era of the clique she led that
involved the Share bashing era in the girl's locker room. Shit got
weird and unpleasant, but worst of all boring.
I don't know where FFL is headed now but I am an optimist. I intend
to report on my experiences tomorrow at the "event" in Alexandria.
Last I checked almost 800 people had reserved a seat. I had some
contact with people from the old days who were kind enough to share
their perspective. Although I remain a skeptic and am not really
going with anything close to an "open" mind (overrated at this stage
of my life I believe) I will go for the many layers of entertainment.
One of the greatest aspects of the entertainment will be posting here
about it. FFL has been a great resource for my thinking and writing.
It has been so useful that I have put up with some people with
unfriendly agendas against me here. It was the ticket for admission.
Sorry to see things spiral out so far here but I am encouraged to see
the changes.
