I think you are making too much of this. The comment was purely hypothetical, and the language was so strongly colorful to an offensive extreme in order to make a point about the degree to which true believers are willingly blind. I'm astounded at how bent out of shape people are getting in reaction to it, but the result is that two groups of people who are much better off not interacting with each other have, for the most part, gone their separate ways. Hear hear, and thank you for the note of sanity, inserted into the *intentional* attempt to disrupt this group and bring it back down to Jim Flanegin's level again. He really DID start this tempest in a teapot. Now, having been caught at it, he's trying to turn it into a confrontation, and pretend that it was *him* who has somehow been mortally wounded by...uh...wait for it...not having a sense of humor. These two groups of people have self-selected. I say let them stay with the group they selected. And if they start straying over boundaries *for no other purpose* than to start arguments and cause trouble (as Jim has done these last two days), enforce their decision. Make them live with their own bluster, and among their own kind. ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : Barry has been around FFL for many years. He has also freely insulted Maharishi for many years. However, this was always done in terms of Maharishi's supposed dalliances with adult women. Barry had a field day with it, living by himself in France and Spain. However, a couple of years ago, Barry informed us all that he would be moving into a mixed household, including a two year old girl. Keep in mind that the other adults are sexually involved with each other, and also run a business. This leaves "Uncle Barry" ample time for baby sitting. My concern is the "coincidence" of Barry now living with a small child, a girl of three, and suddenly, inexplicably revising his insults of Maharishi, to now include a reference to sex with children; "Maharishi butt-fucking babies". Am I making too much of this? I don't think so. The other thing of great concern, is Barry's reaction to this. Far from being chagrined at this monstrous expression, he has gone on the offensive, pretending to turn in anyone who takes offense, to the police and Interpol. A bit of overreaction, don't you think? As if he has a lot to hide, and protect. Reminded me of Bill Cosby, hiring an army of investigators to dig up dirt and discredit his accusers, those he drugged and raped. I don't make a secret of my dislike of Barry. But I think there may be a more serious issue here, and from the way Barry is acting, it is getting worse, not better. #yiv8047723728 #yiv8047723728 -- #yiv8047723728ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid
