This, of course, is another of Barry's fantasies. I don't reread my posts when I'm confident I've expressed myself as I intended, which means the occasional typo slips through. But I don't make typos any more often in posts about Barry or Vaj than in any others. And Barry is projecting when he imagines me being angry. I simply do not get angry over the rantings of people for whom I have no respect. Finally, of course, my argument had nothing to do with "defending Maharishi." It had to do with puncturing Barry's elitist balloon and illusionary self-image. Just doing him a little favor...
