 Hi Dan (or whoever you are),
 
 Even skimming FFL in Message View, it was impossible
 for me to not notice that its posters are being told

 that the person who made the recent inflammatory, 
 profane, and above all stupid posts on August 4th
 was not you. The cult apologist claims that your
 account had obviously been hacked, and that it's
 not really you.
 
 Assuming that this is true, and that you didn't just
 suffer from a bout of Posting While Intoxicated 
 (the conclusion that most non-cult apologists would
 come to), I'm curious as to how you, as a hacker,
 decided to do what you did. Would you mind answering
 a few questions about it?
 
 1. How did you, after having somehow hacked into 
 danfriedman2002's Yahoo account, decide where you
 were going to post the rants intended to make him
 look bad? How did you happen to settle on Fairfield
 Life?
 
 2. How did you manage to emulate Real Dan's 
 consistent bad spelling? 
 
 3. How did you decide which other posters to
 reply to with a stream of invective? I mean, you 
 could have picked *anyone*, at random. What made 
 you decide to lash out at (coincidentally) two of
 the same people that The Real Dan had lashed out at
 in his Real Posts, for the alleged crime of being
 anti-guru? Was that just coincidence, or did you
 plan that in your attempts to make Real Dan look 
 bad?
 
 4. Once you *had* settled on these two people to 
 spray with invective, how did you know what their
 common derogatory nicknames were on this forum?
 I mean, you called vajradhatu108 Vag, a derog-
 atory and insulting permutation of his posting 
 ID that is commonly used here by people with a 
 grudge against him. Similarly, having picked him
 at random for your drive-by, you called turquoiseb
 turq and turqy, again almost as if you were
 very familiar with how *he* was addressed on this
 forum by his detractors. How did you know all this?
 
 5. Finally, since I'm pretty sure in this post
 that I'm addressing Real Dan, the person who made
 all of the posts on August 4th, are you feeling
 better and a little more sane now? I hope so.
 
 6. What was it (other than being drunk or stoned 
 or both) that set you off and caused you to 
 embarrass yourself like this? Did your regular
 practice of TM cause (as one person suggested)
 some roughness of awareness? Does this happen
 to you often?
 
 7. Did you actually have to PAY the professional
 cult apologist to claim that it wasn't really
 you making these posts, or is that something 
 that professional cult apologists just DO when
 a member of their cult embarrasses it?
 
 Thanks for taking the time to answer these 
 questions, and I really hope you come back to

 the same substances that inspired you last
 time. As I said before, the more often that

Tee hee, Barry had to make sure we didn't think he read Judy's entire post. He

Well it doesn't appear as if you are his personal favourite Barry but maybe he 
will manage an apologetic and explanatory post. However, I wouldn't bet my life 
on it, or even 5 Euro.
 
 1. How did you, after having somehow hacked into

 Life?
 
 2. How did you manage to emulate Real Dan's 
 consistent bad spelling? 

Leave out letters? 
He seemed to spell fuck alright and that was over half the content. I would 
also say the grammar and punctuation needed a little work.
 
 3. How did you decide which other posters to
 reply to with a stream of invective? I mean, you 
 could have picked *anyone*, at random. What made

Maybe likes attract, birds of a feather and all that.

Hey, you said Finally, now I see there's a point 6.

Maybe you two should compare notes.

What cult? What am I missing here? I want to join. Somebody, tell me who do I 
contact? Does it cost much? Can women join? What is a Professional Cult

Is Barry another example of how TM makes one balanced and happy? Or was that

 profane, and above all stupid posts on August 4th

Barry must be referring to me here, but he's
completely lost control of himself to call me a
professional cult apologist. He knows neither
characaterization is accurate. He also knows
anybody here who's familiar with my posts knows
he's lying.

 The cult apologist claims that your
 account had obviously been hacked, and that it's
 not really you.

I made no claims. I made it clear I wasn't certain.
And I did not use the word obviously.

So that's three lies in one paragraph.

What's happening, for those of you who aren't that
familiar with Barry's very predictable behavior,
is that I pointed out that he was lying in a
different post about Dan. Check it out:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/316260

Every time he's caught lying, his response is to
tell more and bigger lies. And he repeats his lies
on a regular basis even after they've been exposed.
He's told the one in the post I just linked to before
as well:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/282434

He was corrected by feste at the time. Did he retract
and apologize? Of course not. He just filed the lie
away to tell again.

Actually both times the lie was even worse than was
exposed. Let's look at the most recent iteration:

 Remember, this is the same guy who started out
 at Fairfield Life trying to find out the real
 identities of posters he didn't like. At the
 time, folks suspected he might have intended
 to do them harm.

Not only had Dan been participating for two and a
half years before he complained about anonymity, he
wasn't complaining about posters he didn't like,
as Barry falsely claims. He was complaining about Rick
posting emails he'd received from non-FFL members
without identifying the source. And nobody suspected
he might have intended to do them harm. Barry made
that up.

Barry will claim that the poster is too cowardly to
respond, even though he's well aware the poster has
almost certainly been thrown off for making the
obscene posts.

Copied from below:

 7. Did you actually have to PAY the professional
 cult apologist to claim that it wasn't really
 you making these posts, or is that something 
 that professional cult apologists just DO when
 a member of their cult embarrasses it?

My guess is that the obscene poster is also a TMer
and has been lurking on FFL. So much for Barry's
embarrassment theory.

Dan's last post here was in July 2011. I suspect
he had unsubscribed, and the obscene poster posed
as Dan and asked to be resubscribed with the
intention of venting his uncontrollable rage on
Barry and Vaj.

If so, the motivation was certainly understandable,
even if the implementation was unacceptable.

Copied from below:

 4. Once you *had* settled on these two people to 
 spray with invective, how did you know what their
 common derogatory nicknames were on this forum?
 I mean, you called vajradhatu108 Vag, a derog-
 atory and insulting permutation of his posting 
 ID that is commonly used here by people with a 
 grudge against him.

As Barry is aware, emptybill and Nabby are the only
posters who commonly use Vag (I don't recall anybody
else ever using it). (I'm one of Vaj's sharpest
critics, and I've *complained* about the use of Vag.)

So let's count what Barry writes above as another
lie.

 Assuming that this is true, and that you didn't just
 suffer from a bout of Posting While Intoxicated 
 (the conclusion that most non-cult apologists would
 come to)

That would be a rather stupid conclusion, actually,
for anyone to come to who remembers Dan's previous
posting habits. It's not impossible that Dan has
gone completely starkers, but it's not the most
likely reason for the obscene posts. Posting While 
Intoxicated isn't likely either. Those weren't 
drunk posts, they were crazy posts. The person who
made them needs professional help.

But then, so does Barry.

The two are close together in the female anatomy, but
