Subject: [FairfieldLife] Message for Jim at the Peak
A few times a year I do a search on my name here and at the Peak. I found
this entry by Jim from back in January:
Jim: "PS Before you get too carried away with the whole "boot me" meme, I have
banned one person, Curtis, who tried to sneak on under false pretenses, just to
cause trouble. His alias was cardozy or something. Other than that, everyone
who has applied, has been accepted, and no one has been booted. Yes, everyone,
no exceptions."
Me: I have never applied for the Peak under my own or any other name. I
suspect that Jim used his "intuition" rather than any actual facts to make this
claim. But on the lighter side someone got canned from his tiny kingdom and was
accused of being someone else by an "enlightened" guy! Methinks he may have
blown out a possible follower due to paranoid delusions.
I find this particularly interesting for several reasons. First, as you say,
this "enlightened" guy's "intuition" is obviously for shit. :-) Second, and
more important, if he is the moderator of a Yahoo forum, he had *full access*
to cardozy's information, and thus almost certainly knew it wasn't you. So it
appears he was LYING about who he kicked off.
Finally, and most hilariously, the "sin" he kicked this poor sod off for was
*telling other people on The_Leak the kinds of things Jimbo was posting over on
FFL while pretending he was all about sweetness and light on The_Leak*. That's
not just duplicitous, that's kinda insane in my book.
Jim, you and I have nothing to discuss ever so I don't need to join your group.
But I hope you have the integrity to print a retraction for your baseless
accusation. And if someone here was using that name I hope you will come
forward to bust Jim on his false accusation because if I know Jim, this will
start a round of the infamous "doubledown" routine.
Of course he will. When he accuses you of lying, I urge people here (and on
The_Leak, since they seem to spend more time reading FFL than they do over
there) to remember that the person claiming this was the person who lied to
everyone on FFL for months while he was pretending to be a woman and posting
under the name of enlightened_dawn11. Even ignoring the laughable idea of
claiming to be enlightened, he has ZERO credibility from that debacle.
I know it is appealing for Jim to believe that his group is so desirable that I
would take this trouble. But if anyone with a brain actually looks a my posting
pattern, I own everything I write, and have never (unlike the slippery Jim)
posted as anyone else from my earliest days on AMT.
Obviously, I have never had any interest in joining the Whine-fest over at
The_Leak, either. But I do find it hilarious that Jimbo managed to kick out
someone just for revealing that 1) not only was he still posting on FFL after
claiming that he never would again as long as I was there, but 2) that he was
posting his usual insults and slander, while claiming that he had "left" FFL to
get away from such stuff. What a nut case. :-)
Not only falsely imagining that it was me, Jim compounds his misguided self
confidence by claiming to know about the motive of the person who used that
name. I am always a fan of an example that shows why the subjective means of
gaining "knowledge" is a farce. Oddly it is the quest for subjective confidence
in one's knowledge that often draws people to spiritual groups. It makes life
so much easier not to have to worry about messy facts!
I simply can't wait to see how "Mr. Enlightenment" deals with this. I predict
hysteria. Maybe crying and whimpering. :-)
