Why do you continually allege countless knowing lies

number of people on FFL that you have accused of
being dishonest?

Au contraire, Pierre. 

I mean document in the dictionary sense:

1 : to furnish documentary evidence of
2 : to furnish with documents
3 a : to provide with factual or substantial
support for statements made or a hypothesis
proposed; especially: to equip with exact
references to authoritative supporting
information

This applies primarily (but not exclusively) with
regard to his habit of misrepresenting what others
have said here or on alt.m.t, or even what he
himself has said. It doesn't seem to occur to him 
that there's a *record* of what has actually been
said.

Of course, he tells lots of lies that I *can't*
document. I can't document, for example, that 
someone *never* said something he falsely attributes
to them. But the sheer volume of his documentable
misrepresentations *should* cause folks to realize
that they really can't trust anything he says.

Come to think of it, maybe I'm wrong about what
you're suggesting. Are you acknowledging his
misrepresentations but implying that I can't prove
he *knows* they're misrepresentations, that he 
genuinely believes them?

Because if that's the case, it would appear there's
even more serious pathology involved than that of
chronic lying.

 By comparison, you make Off and Nabby
 seem trustworthy. Have you ever made a count of the
 number of people on FFL that you have accused of
 being dishonest?

Never made a count, no. Have you?

 You seem distraught. Genuinely distraught.

You forget that I've been dealing with Barry's lies
for 15 years. Why would I only now become distraught?

You probably should have checked out the original
posts rather than picking the quotes up from Barry
and assuming that he wasn't misrepresenting the
context.

The first referred to Barry having stated, as if
it were an established fact--making a *huge* fuss
about it--that I had lied about something which
turned out to be completely true, having been
confirmed by the person involved.

(No apology when Barry found out he was wrong, not
even an *acknowledgment* thereof.)

Over-the-top demonization referred to accusations
by Vaj that MMY had committed murder and torture of
children.

Be happy to provide you with documentation if you
don't believe me.

 Vaj, like Barry, you're real good at swinging your
 dick. But when it comes time for consummation, it

Gee, I thought this was a pretty good crack. Comes
from alt.m.t back in 2005. Still true of both of
them (metaphorically, of course).

Actually, come to think of it, it's true of you
as well.

(I notice, by the way, that you don't address my
point about Barry's hypocrisy in claiming that TMers
are lying simply because he doesn't agree with them,
when that's what he is constantly accusing *us* of
doing.)

Over and out for me this week...

I think it was the same guys who collapsed the WTC buildings on top of that 
gold so they could steal the gold from underneath collapsed buildings.  People 
don't realize what dead on mimics those guys were, so it could have been them.

But that would be faulty reasoning on the part of the parents -- a trait and 
habit I hope they would not pass on to their kids-- since it is way more 
dangerous to them and society than TM or drugs. Three people do not make a 
reasonable sample. To the extent their behavior exceeeds social norms, they are 
huge outliers. It's aa faulty as saying Paul, Jerry and Howard do TM and thus 
it will make me rich and famous. 

Its an interesting chicken and egg problem. Do we develop a hypothesis and then 
try to find data to substantiate it -- and perhaps unconsciously throw out data 
that does not support it? Or do we look at tons of data and try to wave a 
textured hypothesis that explains all the data, not just the fun stuff. 

The latter is harder, and way less flashy -- and doesn't make for good bar 
talk. Bummer. It can be so much fun.

Projection is an interesting concept -- explored in recent posts. 
In my mind, any great put down, or compliment, is potentially projection. When 
another sees extremes in others, good or bad, it raises in my mind the question 
-- how much of this is projection? 

I find there are several types of mindsets who use the projection card. Those 
who use it as a put down, and those who use it as a cautionary tale -- I see 
it in them, OMG, how much must I (or may be) projecting myslef. My observation 
is that the former rarely are sufficiently self-aware to see it in themselves. 
The latter, see it in others, and more so in themselves (and thus don't use 
projections on to others as a vehicle for put downs.)

Only you can say -- and possibly not even then. It brings up, in my mind, 
Plato's concepts of eternal forms. If Beauty is an etnernal form, and its found 
within each of us, then yes, seeing beauty in others is a projection of what is 
inside of us.

But seeing beauty (or ugliness) in others might also be a compensating 
projection. That is, we lack something, and seeing more than meets the eye 
somehow fills that gap. 

Anyway, I am just speculating.

So I guess my point is that we have the seeds of projection within us, 
or we wouldn't reach out to others. We all come together in weakness to fill 
a lack. We don't generally count our qualities and bring them to others who 
lack, but the reverse, we consider our lack and reach out to others to fill 
it.

Needs direct us, and I feel it's a more Maslowvian hierarchy, as well 
fulfiull certain needs we yet raise our sights to others to direct our 
interest.

   Projection is an interesting concept -- explored in recent posts.
   In my mind, any great put down, or compliment, is potentially 
   projection.
   When another sees extremes in others, good or bad, it raises in my mind
   the question -- how much of this is projection?
 
 
  ---So when I am looking at Adrina Lima thinking how totally hot she is, I

  Only you can say -- and possibly not even then. It brings up, in my mind, 
  Plato's concepts of eternal forms. If Beauty is an etnernal form, and its 
  found within each of us, then yes, seeing beauty in others is a projection 
  of what is inside of us.
 
  But seeing beauty (or ugliness) in others might also be a compensating 
  projection. That is, we lack something, and seeing more than meets the eye 
  somehow fills that gap.
 
  Anyway, I am just speculating.
 
 So I guess my point is that we have the seeds of projection within us, 
 or we wouldn't reach out to others. We all come together in weakness to fill 
 a lack. We don't generally count our qualities and bring them to others who 
 lack, but the reverse, we consider our lack and reach out to others to fill 
 it.
 
 Needs direct us, and I feel it's a more Maslowvian hierarchy, as well 
 fulfiull certain needs we yet raise our sights to others to direct our 
 interest.


I think it works at both ends of the spectrum. When we are empty and flawed, we 
see that in others. Partly as a means to delude ourselves and to feel superior 
(certainly the need to feel superior is born of some great lack or emptiness 
inside). I may be a shithole, but if I see shitholness in you, and contrast my 
self to you, I feel better -- temporarily. Its a defense mechanism to not face 
our own shitholeness. To escape that pain of  facing it.

On the other hand, when you are happy or in love, the whole world seems that 
way -- life is wonderful, people of all sorts are wonderful, even pain can be 
seen as a joyful thing.  

And I don't necessarily think projection is bad. I think its the natural way of 
human perception and dominates it. Its always through our own glasses -- rose 
colored or through a glass darkly. Its bad when we project negative things on 
to things that are not inherently negative. 

But UC or BC are simply the ultimate projection -- everything in term of the 
unboundedness of the Self.
