It wouldn't, but it doesn't have to in my scenario. The idea is for Vaj (or one of his supporters) to discredit TBs, not for TBs to discredit Vaj. > And that would be redundant for me insomuch as I > am a TBer and Vaj is "discredited" in my eyes. Well, you say so, but can you prove you didn't fake the post to discredit him in the eyes of *other* TBs? That's the point, to cast *suspicion* on TBs for being such fanatics as to undertake the stunt. Like I said, a "false flag" operation to cast Vaj as a martyr and make TBs the villains. But if that's the way it went down, it didn't occur to whoever did it that a TB would never do anything to make a private teaching public, even for the sake of making Vaj look bad.
