Um, what exactly are you paraphrasing? In any case, just substitute for "unbalanced" any word or phrase describing what you pretend not to be. > But I'll contemplate your koan if you agree > to contemplate how you've managed to be con- > sidered an angry, insufferable bitch by so > many people -- dozens, if not hundreds -- in > that same period of time. (Says Barry, hastily changing the subject rather than actually addressing what I wrote, one of his standard dishonest tactics.) The vast majority of whom *just happen* to be angry and usually dishonest critics of TM--you know, like you--who don't appreciate being called on their grossly distorted perspective.

These sites are all, as far as I'm concerned, badges of honor, representing the inability of their proprietors to accomplish any significant rebuttal of my commentaries in open debate. On a Web site, they can lie and distort all they want without fear of rebuttal. It would be all too easy to create a Web site-- an honest one--dedicated to *your* unacceptable behavior, but I have no need to do that, since it's even easier to rebut your compulsive fantasies in the context of an Internet forum. In any case, I'd vastly rather be considered an angry, insufferable bitch than an angry hypocritical fraud. Your mileage obviously varies.
