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.
