Et tu Edg? Heh. Me so bad. So if he culls one from the herd unfairly, but you don't like the guy anyway it is OK? Say it is not true my brother, say it is not true. As I said, I think the Sword of Damocles is held by a chain not a thread .....for now. Doug could go kablooy, yep. Just not soon-ish I'm intuiting. Living with a bully ain't so bad if he's not jammin' ya for yer lunch money. And seriously, if Doug dumped you, I would quit here immediately, but I don't think he's that reckless even though dumping Turq was a major decision. Maybe he's just laying low until we all get comfy, and then WAMMO he lowers the boom. It is only when he comes for you that you will get a sense of conscience? Right now, bouncing me would be more trouble than it would be worth, but by the criteria already used, I am just as vulnerable and so are you. If the criteria is held in secret and is "whatever the F he feels like" then it is just a matter of time until only the Age of Enlightenment News gets broadcast here. Isn't the A of E news already posted here by a couple TBers? No harm. If a newbie wanders in here, anything positive about TM is nicely balanced. I've been smarming to Doug's face a couple times already and .....bupkis back from him.....more bark and bite. And before I am accused of the slippery slope fallacy, I lived this exact brand of control in the same movement Buck was trained in. He is already referring to opposing his banning with zero accountability as "nitpicking." Yeah. It's classic TMO shit. Yep. But YOUR MIND IS YOURS.....they can't trigger yer emotions if'n ya don't wants. To let them have that power is YOUR choice. 3 million kids die this year from drinking ditch water....and all that. Willy's a saint compared to the monsters who are starving the world. Perspective! Doug's just a anachronistic blip. Do you care that he lied about Rick being behind this ban with him? Lying is bad. Yes. "Murdering the world" it isn't. Rick don't care 'bout us......if he was lied to, it's his karma to ravel later at the Pearly Gates. Have you ever been in a room where some sanctimonious prick came bustling in and said "Maharishi wants _________. And then you find out later that it was just his idea and he wanted to silence dissent ahead of time by invoking Maharishi's name? Hmmm, not sure that ever happened and I was smart enough to pick up on it at the time, but HELL YEAH that's what they do. But you and I are here to smack Lil' Dougy around if he gets crabbier. Before he found this angle Buck was advocating shutting down FFL. He has no love for free discussion here. I challenge anyone to repost any time he has engaged in a back and forth discussion with a participant here, the kind you and I value. Just one. And I double dare anyone to post one where he shows up as a genuine person talking to another adult instead of this constant condescension, first veiled by persona and now in the open. Yep. He's a pisser. Now, I ask you to turn the cheek. Let's see him dare to do this shit again. He's taking some serious impacts right now and yet still, he's NOT over-reacting. And get this, as time passes, WE get to put pressure on FFL to tilt to sanity -- Doug ain't got a chance of winning this. Breathe! Edg, do ya hear me! More than you know, Bro. If anything, all I can do is excuse myself is say, "I'm still giddy with all the new-found freedom here." But, too, yes, I do sincerely get it that you and Turq had a robust and decent relationship here at FFL that often served our needs. Sorry for your loss. Hey, ask Turq to tell you where else he's posting about spiritual stuff -- maybe you guys can tag team there! ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : Heh, gotta ask, "what's the actual risk of Doug?" Will he bounce others? I don't think so. Look at this scurvy's crew's roiling bitching at each other that's going on RIGHT NOW, and he's done nothing about that. Maybe it was a vendetta against the trolls with "any reason" being enough. So? Yeah, abusive. So? I just don't see this kind of fascism happening again unless someone truly rises to the troll heights -- which was a very high bar being set. Doug chided me about swearing, but nothing since even though I still swear -- this shows his, um, forbearance? Bah, I'm just happy I can post here again without really having to steel myself for the barbs. Short sighted of me, but there it is. If there is a Sword of Damocles, it's a heavy chain holding it up. ---In [email protected], <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote : Me: You just saved me some typing time.

You are also incorrect in using the term re-moderation. This group was moderated, with a light and just hand that allowed far more than now, true freedom of speech. Your lack of transparency in the issues you have handled so far reveals the dark, covert spirit that dwells within. This clandestine spirit is the enemy of truth seeking, and I for one, vote for your removal from this position. I see you have resumed spamming FFL, and this is also a violation of the so-called guidelines. ---In [email protected], <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Dear Friends of FFL; I feel we are moving very much within the spirit and intent of letter of the Yahoo-groups guidelines in the re-moderation we have done thus far.... <spam removed>.
