I don't know what you are talking about Buck. Jim was one of the worst negative name-callers on the forum for years. The place is waaaay better off without him. Same with Nabbie. The post you posted on below is a blatant lie meant to hurt the reputation of another poster through distortion of his intent. It was way beyond trolling and along with Nabbie represented a line that should not have been crossed. I'd say he left just in time because he was escalating to an actionable level as Barry defended himself legally. And you seem to be going along with that.
Why? Because you are a name caller and a negative influence constantly framing other points of view in the weird language of religious fundamentalist ignorance. Your insincere persona is part of the problem IMO. You are not showing up here authentically, so I don't know who you are or what you really represent. I believe you yourself are confused and conflicted. I don't know what you deem "healthy discussions" but I have rarely seen you instigate or participate in one. You are a slogan slinger, not a careful thinker. How about the discussion of George's overthrow of Maharishi's teaching? You heard the guy. You know what Maharishi taught. Do you believe that Maharishi and Jesus have not seen God? That is what he claimed in the questions. That NONE of the luminaries in his band of spiritual gypsies on the other side has seen God. So basically all GC is bullshit. Did you consider that as you put Barry and I down for speculating that perhaps we need another explanation for why George was making such claims than that he really IS BRIGHU? And this is all in terms of the teaching itself, not my POV on reality. You pretend to be such a solder for the cause of Maharshi's vision, but you can't speak up about a guy literally ripping the teaching to shreds in a public forum with old time Maharishi leaders high fiving him. And you think that Barry or me voicing our disagreements with Maharishi's claims are the biggest problem right now. You are not keeping your eye on the ball "Buck." Rome is burning and you are watering your plants. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Dear Rick, I feel really sorry for you that you are left with just this cesspool of negativity from the recent separation in the FFL membership. This is not what we had hoped for with the forum as we started FarifieldLife these many years ago at Yahoo-groups. It is not too late to re-think this forum as a place for healthy discussions to occur.

I am truly sorry things have degenerated to this point. I am local to the Yahoo corporation, and am considering a detailed notice to the Yahoo administrators, including screen names, of this current activity. Barry makes one excuse after another, about using this foul, sexually perverted, and unbalanced voice, and is clearly not well. This is no longer a healthy environment for anyone to participate in. I am all for differing opinions on here, but you have allowed one individual's mental illness to co-opt what could be a fun place to hang out, and I guess I am one of the casualties. See ya!!
