Would you shirk at asking John Gray about how the 'Ph.D.' suddenly started appearing at the end of his name on his promotional materials? IF you asked, you might learn that the "degree" came from the University of P.O. Box 2000, and that the "course of study" involved in earning that degree consisted of putting a check in the mail. Would asking about *that* be impolite or insulting? If not, why would questioning Maharishi's claim to a degree he seems unable to document be impolite or insulting?
Because you're not giving him a chance to answer, for one thing. Paul's blog is simply a smear job, it doesn't appear to be intended to cast light anywhere or to be something that MMY would even answer, as the questions appear to have a clear agenda in mind, especially the last but I would also say most of the others as well. That *would* be highly insulting to most people. Nobody likes being browbeaten or put on the defensive.
And how many of us can "document" our degrees, Barry? What kind of documentation would that be, especially for a degree earned some 60+ years ago?
I guess I would ask all of the people who seem to go out of their ways to attack MMY on a personal level--what has he ever done to you that you guys dislike him so much?
