Nobody was trying to lure anybody into anything. And Peter, of course, was a participant in the whole editing kerfuffle at Wikipedia and a target of Skolnick's attacks in that process, so of course he was interested. > You three stand out like sore thumbs among the > more sane and balanced proponents of TM here, > who actually seem to have LIVES.

Skolnick *made his reputation* with his maliciously deceptive article on TM in JAMA, and he's continued to pursue *his* obsession with his participation in editing the Wikipedia article on TM. He's hardly the victim here. > I repeat my name for all 3 of you -- stalkers Which, as you know, is entirely inappropriate. , and > my assertion that your insanity is not only well > established, but because that insanity tends to > revolve around attempting to destroy the critics > of TM and Maharishi and the TMO Only those who aren't *honest* in their criticisms. And "destroy" is just a *wee* bit hyperbolic, don't you think? Skolnick was and is out to *literally* destroy the TM movement, and to do so dishonestly. Skolnick is a menace. As a journalist, he has a great deal of credibility he doesn't deserve. It's hardly likely that TM is the only target he's pursued with no concern for fairness or accuracy.

Dedicated our *lives* to critiquing the critics?? Whereas you, in contrast, have left your criticism of TM, MMY, the TMO, and MMY behind long since and spend absolutely *no* time indulging in it.

Speaking for myself, I've chosen to do my selfless service elsewhere.
