Actually, Duveyoung, you went on an obscene rant and got called on it. What's your problem?

That is no different from the actions of one person, in particular here, who has found it necessary to shit on anyone with whom he has a difference of opinion. That, is the definition of trolling, and well demonstrated the poster in question.

Rick -- YOU'RE RUINING YOUR REPUTATION FOR BEING A RIGHTEOUS DUDE. You've put a person in charge here that is running the joint like a Mafia extortionist. The "muzzle" is that we don't know what amounts to a punishable infraction. THIS IS PURE TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY AS TAUGHT TO ALL OF US BY MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI. FFL posters are being kept afraid and in the dark. We're not told JACK SHIT. We never get to see our "manila folders." You don't know what anyone is thinking about you or is beginning to think.......errors are not allowed to be sussed out. Is Doug almost ready to dump me? I DON'T FUCKING GET TO KNOW! When I went into a private meeting with Maharishi, he penciled next to my photograph on the paper he held "no beard now." SEE? SEE FUCKING SEE? I spent EIGHT MONTHS ON TEACHER TRAINING and I could have lost all that time and money if I'd kept my beard. THAT'S FRAUD. Try to get the Course Office to explain who gets a field badge and who doesn't. SAME DAMNED FUCKIN' SHITASS POLICY. THIS IS PURELY ABUSIVE AND CONTROL FREAK SHIT. And you ask us what we have for a bitch? That question too is worthy of condemnation -- it shows you don't have a fucking clue or are mindfully ignoring an issue like a redneck saying "rebel flags iz good." My next action step is to confront Rick personally if he doesn't pony up here with a BIGASS explanation for allowing Doug to moderate any longer given how personally Doug is applying the guidelines. Seriously....first private emails and then phone calls. Rick -- you owe me, you owe us, you owe your own integrity to fix this problem quickly. I have been a great fucking friend and supporter, Rick -- don't sand bag us on this. This is a deal killer. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Why not give it a go, Curtis. Instead of worrying about what could be, why not give it a go and see what happens? There are two, two people that are not here as a result of the actions of the group owner and the new moderator. Everything else has been pure speculation on the part of those who object to one person having his posting privileges revoked. You would think, by the reaction, that a muzzle has been put on the participants here.

So far, this experiment with Doug as moderator is starting to remind me of when Rick put an Amma fanatic in charge of moderating the Amma free speech group, with the end result being the loss of free speech and the creation of the Amma Real Free Speech group. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : Turq's posting is exactly the reason so many social sites have shut down their comment sections.

Whereas, Rick booted *and* banned the one who shall not be mentioned (I think the banned list prevents a person from even sending a subscription request.) The only people I've given the boot are spammers, and I don't regard them as worthy of any kind of explanation. But, in the case of people who are actual participants, I think full disclosure is in order. In Turq's case, the reason is apparent, but it has not been disclosed if this is just a temporary time-out or permanent. The fact that Doug didn't actually unsubscribe him suggests the possibility that it isn't permanent. What sayest thou, Doug? Is Turq gone for good? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote : Thanks for posting this Alex. Perhaps Buck/Doug will share the rational here so we can understand which of his interpretation of the previously never enforced vague Yahoo guidelines Barry violated. In the spirit of Barry's sense of humor here I think the only appropriate thing to do now is to initiate a "dead pool" list of who is going to be next in the the current purge. 1. Salyavin808 for his last brilliant, scathing indictment of Buck/Doug 2. Michael for his consistent efforts to put his finger in the eye of the pompous powers that be in the movement. 3. Me for trying to focus my lens more and more precisely on what it is that I object to in Buck/Doug's misuse of moderator power here. (I am speaking about his threat to Barry for stating his opinion of David Lynch, not for getting banned. Until he reveals it I don't know what his reasons were for that.) Game on!

It appears that Doug has gone ahead with his threats and has deleted my access to Fairfield Life. I'm just wondering how he justifies doing this based on supposedly "offending" posts of mine made back in May when on June 9th in post #416493 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/416493?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma he explicitly said: In moderation at this point I feel “the past is a lesser state of evolution” and I am going forward with a clean slate on everyone and not one is on moderation in any way from this point. I would only suggest in our going forward that folks take the time to actually read the Yahoo-groups guidelines if they want to continue fluidly posting on FFL. We should appreciate your cooperative collaboration on this. -JaiGuruYou! Seems to me there is more than a little hypocrisy, double-dealing, and outright dishonesty going on here, and since Doug has eliminated the possibility of me bringing this question up to the group myself, I figured I'd ask you to do it for me. Thanks for everything. You have been more than fair in all of your dealings with Fairfield Life and with the odd group of characters who have posted there over the years. I wish that sense of fairness and honesty was equally present in the newest moderator. Barry...ooops, do I get in trouble for using my own real name? :-) P.S. To everyone else, so long and thanks for all the fish...
