You didn't ask me, but I'll tell you: I thought the person who presented the quotes, shorn of their context, as if the posters and their words represented TM and Maharishi, was in a very, very, *very* low state of attention--far lower than the posters themselves when they wrote what he posted, and lower even than when he penned the vicious attacks that many of the posters were responding to. The whole project was bottom of the barrel, state- of-attention-wise, including his bleating and chest- beating about it on FFL, which so clearly revealed the real motivation behind it: to intimidate TM supporters, especially his critics, into shutting up. No, wait, the real motivation wasn't just bottom of the barrel, it was way *beneath* the barrel. The one positive aspect to it was that it exposed the ugly depths of this person's habitual state of attention.
