Not at all, Paul. I *appreciate* your attempts to present a more balanced view of Maharishi's life than is presented by TM True Believers. But every so often, like today, you slip and allow your obvious bias to shine through, and it *weakens* your efforts, rather than strengthens them. As a couple of people here have pointed out recently, you sometimes come across as searching for "dirt" rather than searching for something that resembles a balanced view of all sides of the issues. As Judy and more balanced, less TB individuals have pointed out, sometimes you reveal a 'tude, a 'tude that I think is regrettable, because it enables many who might benefit from your research to instead write it off as the ravings of just another guy with a 'tude.
