I disagree - if for example you are referring to people including me asking
Jimmy for proof he was enlightened other than his assertion in the face of the
cussing rants he would go on when challenged or in the face of someone saying
Marshy was a fraud. In light of his behavior I think such challenges were
warranted.
Same with common sense challenges to Nabby's assertions that Benjy Creme was
some sort of a high spiritual guru. I mean come on.
Granted many of us here including me sometimes went over the top with name
calling and if I offended anyone I apologize, except for the vile things I said
about Marshy which while harsh were all true.

A push back, a kindcounter-offensive evidently was in order for all the damage
beingrendered in the reduced scope of communal discussion on our FFLcommunity
by a character of intolerant writers cutting good peopledown at their knees by
employing a methodical crossfire of unkindpersonal invective as weapon against
both the TM-TB's and theexperiential-based transcendentalist members then
present on thelist.

This larger thread is a larger searchfor better diversity of thought here on

Geezer posted recently about how people can be led into their[cult] beliefs
given over to a control by their beliefs if they firstare led to act on them..
Seems you've been led far down a low pathhere with some others, possibly so far
out of the light to see yourway back up very clearly.
An evident consequence of thisis that the whole communal discussion here
suffers for your plight.As they say, change happens within, hopefully you and
others can makesome way in your vile meanness for kindness and we may all be
betteroff here. That might take some courage on your part to change.-JaiGuruYou

It looks like somebody posted a false analogy.
According to what I've read, a false analogy is a rhetorical fallacy that uses
an analogy (comparing objects or ideas with similar characteristics) to support
an argument, but the conclusion made by it is not supported by the analogy due
to the differences between the two objects.

I think, Buck, what you call collaboration is a situation where everyone agrees
with you.

I have no problem withconsidering divergent opinion. I am quite happy reading

Buck,you need to realize that we are dealing with people who think they canwin
a religious debate by spreading a rumor that you are a drunkard.Although you
may have given up that kind of childish bullying in gradeschool, some have not
risen to that level of discourse or social skills.

Collaboration? Could many folksdare at all to publicly disagree here on FFL
anymore given the lackof self-restraint in the culture that remains on FFL?
What is mostlymissing now from the dominant FFL writing is a kindness to
process, alove enough of collaboration that seems necessary enough for there
tobe creative thinking between people. Instead what we have is aculture of
rudeness that has long interrupted the communal thinkinghere and driven people
away.
