Rick; to save FFL I feel you should just suspend the posting function to FFL for a good while.
Yes, let us have a holiday of silence on FFL. A FFL going-on-holiday in to and then coming out of a silence then anew in the making of something kinder like a renewing of the communal FFL forum. Dear Rick, Yes host an extended period of FFL silence. Do let there be Silence until 12 January on FFL. At the least. Thence in coming out of such reforming silence have FairfieldLife join unto that traditional day of January 12th. You know, that time within the old meditating community of renewed spirituality, vitality, clarity and thence more life-supporting activity as then coming out of silence. -The FFL Patriarch of Peace and Heaven on Earth, Buck in the Dome Dear Rick, towards administratively enforcing a No-fly Zone over the posting of unkindness on FFL, it is an excellent time right now given the course of events to plan and start such a counter-attack so as to take back our branding of FairfieldLife once again by first dis-engaging the unkindness that gets posted here and letting those people so inclined to re-pattern their lives otherwise in reformative silence for a period of time. Rick there is a chance present here, a fine opportunity now to take back FFL and recapture its franchise, the Brand of FFL from the unkindness that has swept over the forum. “Now is the Winter of Dis-content.” Make it ours again, a free and open forum again reserved and preserved as a place for kind thoughtfulness. It is time to have a strict No-fly Zone over FFL at Yahoo-groups. Let FFL go silent for a time. Give it a fallow rest. -Buck A winter break, imposing a No-Fly-Zone over FFL. This would be a kindness. Rick, take and assume a moral leadership and set direction in executive action on this now as timely initiative in the re-alignment of FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups with Yahoo-groups guidelines. Sincerely, -Buck, the Patriarch of Peace on FairfieldLife Dear Rick; 21 December coming is the first day of Winter. Let it be the first day of Peace on FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. It [the first day of Winter] should be a good day to begin a dormancy on FFL, a winter's hibernation, a negotiating planned disengagement of the culture of unkindness that has unbecome FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. Sincere regards, -Buck Dear Rick, Asserting and instilling a period like a seasonal silence over FFL as a gesture would place more of a firm grip as moral leadership towards reforming the general unkindness that spread across FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups, it would be very good to extend such a suspended silence upon FFL even unto first day of Spring [March 20th 2015] whence fairer flowers springing might arise anew coming out of such reformative depth as a reflective period so imposed administratively as a reflective moral silence of a long and silent communal FFL winter. -Buck in Fairfield Rick, it would be very good to extend such a suspended silence upon FFL even unto the first day of Spring. [March 20th 2015] Dear Rick, Instilling an administrative no-fly zone of silence over FairfieldLife as a means of disengagement would be important moral leadership in changing the manifest wreckage of unkind tone that this battlefield of FFL has become. It is time to clear the FFL field spiritually. I would support you in this, -Buck, the Patriarch of Peace on FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. Yep silence FFL, suspend it, unto Easter Sunday [April 5, 2015] symbolic to the resurrection of something anew and a new hope in the community that was FFL. Dear Rick, How about we take, at the least, the rest of the month of December and suspend all posting at all to FFL? Start then with a kinder more gentle FFL anew with posting on January 1st. Take some time off to re-group. -Buck Rick, we know and understand that you are busy however; have you been reading any of the posts to FFL? Rick, Just scroll down through the subject lines if you don't have time to read the posts, they are appalling. -Buck Rick, the neganauts here are playing you now to see how far they can take it. Dear Rick, As an old Friend You see I really don't feel that you should yield FairfieldLife over to the methodical negativity that has overrun and overtaken our FairfieldLife [FFL] community on Yahoo-groups. Sincerely, -Buck Rick, FairfieldLife [FFL] has been way too important to communal Fairfield life in the past to just let it go to the aggressive dogs of unkind negativity as some mean and now narrowed successor group caliphate of hateful neganauts. The larger communal use of FFL that FFL could facilitate in communication: Rick, for instance this FFL post is an incredibly important post within the things going on right now in the Fairfield meditating community: 404986Re: FW: A Cultural Survey, Maharishi on Not Speaking Ill of Othershttps://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/404986 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/404986 Rick, Could reading the old FFL posts be kept open to scholarship whilst the posting function for everyone could be suspended?

The amazing archive here tells a back-story of a community. Is there a way (?) to keep the search function of the archive and also the files section open whilst shutting off posting to FFL for a while in the FFL groups settings?

Let thy people re-pattern their lives silent as a period of time to reflect elsewhere. Time for a re-groove, a retreading of the tires of the forum that is FairfieldLife. It should be better for everyone and for what FFL would be.

It is now time for meditation on FFL, -Buck 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.
