Actually, it's easy to see how Lawson could have gotten that idea if he didn't read what Alex said that Barry was responding to, to get the context. > The fact that several people on this list routinely attempt such > deflection, almost continuously, should tell us something. Except that, as I pointed out, there's nowhere the discussion could have been deflected *to* based on Lawson's question, other than eliciting a correction from Barry. Oh, wait, there's also the deflection *Barry* attempted-- quite successfully, with Vaj's ready assistance--to the bogus issue of Lawson's integrity. And Vaj, of course, routinely attempts to deflect discussions of something peculiar *he* has said by, instead of explaining it, accusing commenters of being incapable of understanding because they've drunk the TM Kool-Aid. And Barry does the same with virtually all personal criticisms of his thinking. What should it tell us that Barry and Vaj do exactly the same thing they accuse TMers of doing, I wonder? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
