You analogy fails in many respects, most importantly when overlooking the facts on the ground when with Vaj and his likes. You see Vaj is not remotely interested in hacking open anyone's shell. He wants to infect our discussions with a virus that ensures we will molt and rot where we are and never break free from Maya. The big reason he wants to do this is that he doesn't understand the fundamental truth of TM. Thus, what should people who do understand this do - remain forever silent as a sixth-grader in an organized fashion disrupts discussions or do we allow ourselves the liberty to say: okay, Mr Sixth-grader (Vaj) - this is how it really is. Whatever you chose, I think is well within the "charter" of this forum.
