 You are her Shiva. She is your most ardent devotee.

The problem with being an object of adoration is
that once they've started obsesssing on your lingam,
it's tough to get rid of 'em.

[BTW, the incorrect language above was fixed in the
second (corrected) version of my post. I mean to say
that 50% of Judy's share of the last 200 posts that 
had been made to FFL when I checked (same range that
MDG used) mentioned me.

I didn't mean to imply that 50% of her last 200 posts
to FFL *period* had been obsessing on the same person/
lingam. They might have been, but I didn't count back 
that far. There are some things you really don't want 
to know.]

FWIW, Yahoo continues to eat a lot of Barry's homework.
It also ate at least one post of hugheshugo.  So far,
they're the only two posters some of whose original posts
don't appear on the Web site.

Barry's in France and hugheshugo is in the UK (right?),
so maybe it has something to do with U.S. Yahoo not
getting all the non-U.S. Yahoo posts?

Since the missing posts have been quoted in others'
responses, obviously email transmission is working.
Peculiar.

The more interesting question is not Judy's alleged obsession with Turquoise, 
but Turquoise's obsessive interest in denouncing a spiritual movement he left 
over 20 years ago. I find this very puzzling. In a sense, Turquoise is still a 
member of the TM movement, since he reacts so forcefully to everything it 
does, and seems to spend some time every day nourishing this unusual 
obsession. I'd call it a kind of attachment hell, in which a person claims to 
hate something and to be free of it and all it stands for, but it persists in 
sticking to him  and goading him. Whatever he does, he cannot get rid of it, 
like the memory of a first love that went bad. I'm over it now, he will tell 
his 
friends, but his friends know better. They smile and shrug and hope they 
never get caught in this particular hell.

This same point has been made repeatedly on alt.m.t
concerning Barry, who had been doing this more or less
continuously since 1994, up until the time he became
involved in FFL.  (He still drops in to alt.m.t from
time to time to make a few derogatory posts about TM
and TMers, usually ones that involve attacking me.)

If he didn't obsessively post negative comments about
TM/TMO/MMY/TMers, one *might* take him seriously when
he claims the reason he hangs out on TM-related forums
is because he's fascinated by dying spiritual
movements.

But as it is, it's quite clear he's driven to do
whatever he can to hasten the alleged dying process.

It's happened to me twice in the last month.
