That's why I used the word "apparently."

You're my nephew's age. I surmised an age for you given when you were
at MUM. Salyavin supposed provided his horoscope from which one can
figure the date of birth almost down to the time.
I never looked at physical age so much as mental age. It's sort of
like you can have a room full of people of different age groups but
same mindset.

What is happening to FFL is we are getting old and cranky. Some of us
are approaching our 70s and some are already there. And we have some
that are a generation younger (apparently Salyavin and MJ).
Yes, and I must say you lot aren't being a very good influence. How
are innocent young souls like me and MJ going to learn what's right
with the type of role models we've got here?
It is kinda unusual to watch a group fly this out of control. Usually
moderators will keep things civil but then there's nothing like a
"free for all" either. Some of us like to keep our anonymity because
we don't want (having been TM teachers) unwarranted reprisals from
the TMO. Even Judy recommended it.
I think it's been quite civil actually, just a few resignations in
protest and a few lawsuit threats. Could have been a lot worse. I
blame all the spiritual detachment we have.
But anyway the place also has to keep up it's appearances as a "loony
bin" which doesn't seem to hard to do. :-D
Remember, it's entirely your decision whether you are inside or
outside the asylum!

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.
