"It was the semi-pornographic imagery" (wrt Ravi's "research article") Sal, what on earth are you referring to? I missed this in his spoof the first time I read it, or so I thought, and just now went back and couldn't find anything including in all of his Wikipedia links, that comes remotely close to what you are claiming - have you read the definition of pornography? I mentioned turquoiseb's similar imagery earlier, which was at least as graphic as anything in Ravi's post.

Trollish dumbassery that happens to contain the word 'penis' is not what I would define as pornography. As I understand it, what would make Yahoo classify FFL as an adult group (which is what we're trying to avoid and the reason why we have the porno rule) is the posting of pornographic imagery. Ravi's post did not contain any images or links to images. It also contained no written descriptions of sexual acts or other overt sexual vulgarity, which, as I recall, got some troll in a bit of hot water with Rick a while back. As always, Rick has the final say, but I don't see Ravi's post as being in violation of FFL rules. I agree. It's a parody, written to appear as a scientific paper. Many genuine scientific papers contain the word "penis" and aren't pornographic. Others use that word here, or vulgar synonyms of it, and still don't cross the line. So I don't have a problem with Ravi's post.
[FairfieldLife] Re: My research article
Dear tartbrain, You have made 2 excellent observations Why not use the cleverness for dissolving boundaries? I have come to realize that intellect is a whore, it can only be used to analyze, dissect and divide. Though it has a great practical utility it cannot be used to dissolve boundaries - however it can help you to reach to the verge of realizing the futility of using intellect to dissolve boundaries which itself is a great achievement. I have decided to use my intellect like a car, never again will I let it deceive me. What is the point? I asked this myself several times. I have reached to a state that I never imagined was possible, I felt I had nothing left to do now. So I got depressed for a while constantly asking myself - "what now". Then I realized I let my mind deceive myself and that the whole world is just a leela - a divine play and I just promised myself to just be playful and have fun. Meaning can only be attributed to practical things like a car or a house and not to existence or life, it is just meant to be enjoyed. So there is no point!!! Though I pick on Barry I have nothing against him, I know I need to be careful with my choice of words but then I'm really not serious.

Dear Sally, Thank you for your input, I'm humbled and touched by your loving guidance.

Since you love and admire Uncle Barry so much can you please suggest an alternative name for this disorder so we don't violate the rules?

lol- I assume you are joking Sal, right? At least I hope you are. turquoiseb talks about "big dicks" (as in penises) regularly and you've never asked for the moderators to intervene on your behalf regarding his remarks. I recall the last time he did this was in reference to that fellow Mario who was pestering people for the advanced techniques and turquoiseb said something about a side effect being the guy would grow a gigantic dick. Crickets from you Sal at that time. I thought Ravi's article was pretty good satire. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine wrote: > > On Jan 10, 2011, at 2:38 AM, Ravi Yogi wrote: > > > Hi everyone, here's a research article that I have been working on.
