I certainly agree with Doug that most of the messages in this forum have nothing to do with the TMO, and I think that most of what sparaig, authfriend, and some others post is total drivel.
However, I am against censorship of these people in the forum. [The other extreme to what is happening here can be seen in Fairfield Community Kiosk, where everything must go through Sharalyn Harris (who used to post to this group), and then she decides if it should be posted or not. Of course, no self-respecting adult would go along with this, so the result is that 95% of the posts on the group are by her; her posts are almost all announcements freely available in many other places and the remaining 5% of postings are announcements from others, and there is no discussion of any kind. ] My solution (i.e. what I do) is to look at the posts on the FFL web page, and simply decide by looking at the title or author of the posts if I want to check them out. Usually, this will result in me ignoring about 90% of the posts, but it is not a big deal. It is like going out into a city street and focusing on what you want, and ignoring the rest. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "chaim_laib" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Doug > > Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much for saying this. > > This group, FFLife, is essentially nearly meaningles. > > A few people have come over from alt.med.transcendental and have > clogged it with hundreds of worthless posts on a daily basis, nearly > none of which have anything at all to do with either Fairfield, TM, > consciousness, or anything related.
