 Thanks Share.
 
  And thanks Judy and Mr. Soss for cluing me in.
  How did you all figure it out so quickly?
 
 Not difficult really. Apart from the writing style, I frequently mention 
 India - from where I'm posting right now - mentioned the Matri Mandir before, 
 and probably a few other clues.
 
 But Share, I really think you should come here one day, you know, Arunachala, 
 Tiruvannamalai, Pondicherry and Auroville (Matri Mandir). You will enjoy the 
 spiritual atmosphere here - not that you don't have any of that in Fairfield 
 as well, but I think it's good to see something different, experience a 
 different spiritual subculture, and I'm sure you would love India.
 
 And to mention Robin - I don't see him writing at the moment - I think he 
 should read Aurobindo, Life Divine for example, because a lot of what he says 
 relates to that, what his main objection to Advaita was, the Impersonal. 
 Aurobindo addresses exactly these points, but from a typical Indian 
 perspective, not a Christian one. So he might be interested in his solution 
 of the problem Personal vs Impersonal.

That seems like a slightly anomalous sentence from the

Now, how could we interpret it?

1. I (here: SRV)could be many rough places, but Alley is the roughest I've ever

That's perhaps I slightly schizophrenic, or whatever, i-p.

2. Anomalous use of the verb 'to be' as an transitive verb,

[FairfieldLife] SPT: double stops (tt, pp, kk)

2013-01-25 Thread card

We think especially hard stops 't' and 'tt' (double t?)
 are quite common in Sanskrit.

It seems to us most native speakers of English (and many other
languages lacking that suprasegmental[?] phonemic distinction
between consonants?) have a hard time to hear the difference
in length of t-sounds in words like 'citi' and 'citta'.

In English that difference usually seems indicate difference
of pronunciation of the preceding *vowel*, e.g:

bitter Mr. Biter.

The secret of practicing the correct pronounciation of
the word 'citta'(etc.) might well be first  to pronounce 'cit-', then snap your 
fingers, and after that to pronounce '-ta'. Naturally, that
in most cases greatly exaggerates the very short pause between
'cit' and 'ta', but one should perhaps gradually shorter the pause
and compare ones pronunciation for instance to this:

  The couple, who left the church in 2010 due to conflict of opinion with

  According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Garcias allege that, over the years,

  couple had earmarked specifically for the construction of a massive Super 
  Power building in downtown Clearwater, Florida.
  But they allege they were also asked to fund campaigns for disaster relief 
  and ending child pornography, all of which went to line the pockets of the 
  church.
  Church spokesman Pat Harney said in a statement that the church had no 
  comment on an impending lawsuit.
  We understand from media inquiries this has something to do with 
  fundraising and we can unequivocally state all funds solicited are used for 
  the charitable and religious purposes for which they were donated.

It was probably just Fundraising As Usual for the

With regard to this particular scam, I have to agree

The motivation for calling this stalking is very simple:
It's an attempt at revenge by Barry and nashoka on those
who make negative comments on their posts because they are
unable to refute the comments, and when they instigate
arguments in an attempt to do so, they are unable to win.

They can't hold their own, so they portray themselves as

by doing so--especially since they themselves are far more
guilty of the behavior they complain about than the folks
they claim are victimizing them.

Neither of them will even try to address what I just said,

 I think that it's as much about the sense of cult
 community as anything else. Few at this point would
 be worried about being banned from courses, mainly
 because we all know there won't BE any new courses
 worth attending. But they're unwilling to give up 
 the friends they've developed along the way in TM
 communities. Most know that these people would not
 only turn their backs on them if they went against
 the TMO (and in their minds went against Maharishi,
 who is...uh...dead and gone), these former friends 
 would join in the demonization of them and the cate-
 gorization of them as enemies of the movement.
 
 In other words, the cult indoctrination worked. 

Apparently Rama charged thousands of dollars every month 
to attend 'Rama Seminars', and if you didn't pay you 
didn't get in. In fact, if you didn't pay up you were 
ex-communicado, according to Mark Laxter. LoL! 

But, only a few special girls were actually allowed 
inside Rama's house. LoL! The Rama cult must have 
taken in millions from you followers. Go figure.

Yes. They were selling minimum lots of $50,000 when Henning
was on his death bed and vedaland obviously wasn't going to 
happen. But they knew alright, he was in a hospice at the 
time unbeknownst to us poor saps on the receiving end of the 
PR spin. I remember someone at the presentation asking what 
Doug was doing at the time and the slick PR guy evasively said
Doug's a great guy and really committed to the project thus 
neatly sidestepping the question. It should have registered 
with me more than it did but I was rather depressed by all the
sales projection charts and BS phone poll results that the
TMO had done to care much about any of it.

Henning died a few weeks later and I was still on the course,
I realised what had happened and was fucking livid but my protests
met with the usual Maharishi knows what he is doing crap.
Yep, ripping off the flock is what he was doing. I stopped
taking it seriously after that, then the raja thing started with
all the million dollar donations and then the Kaplan letter etc.
I know many people who donated to things that never happened
but they all believed that the money was going to where it was 
most needed so it didn't matter! 

I always hoped I'd meet the PR guy again so I could punch his
lights out. His presentation started with movie about Doug
Henning and his amazing magic act which included making
elephants disappear (probably not up his sleeve) it was great 
stuff and in the NLP adverts he did when he lived at the TM headquarters in 
England he came across as a really nice guy. 
Poor sod. I wonder if he knew.

That last paragraph goes a long ways to capturing the feelings of a lot of 
old-TMers in the larger TM community.  Rightly or wrongly aside and even with 
people doing other spiritual practices besides TM that is a formative and 
deeply held value about the technique in the old meditating community.  Even in 
people who have moved away and visit back to meditate in the Domes.  And, 
certainly the TM-Taliban-like preservation-at-all-costs no-admission-of-faults

   has strayed from its founding principles and morphed into a secular 
   enterprise whose primary purpose is taking people's money.

   The couple, who left the church in 2010 due to conflict of opinion with 
   Miscavige, claim they were asked to donate sums totalling more than 
   £265,000.
   According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Garcias allege that, over the 
   years, the church redirected hundreds of thousands of dollars in 
   donations the couple had earmarked specifically for the construction of a 
   massive Super Power building in downtown Clearwater, Florida.
   But they allege they were also asked to fund campaigns for disaster 
   relief and ending child pornography, all of which went to line the

  being directed to me, I feel your concern in a very positive

 As I said, navashok is lacking in integrity, to put it mildly.
 
 What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to
 do with anything that was going on or ever *has* gone on on
 FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that.
 
 Commenting negatively on something someone said in a post on
 an Internet forum is not stalking by any honest definition.
 If it were, almost all of us here would be stalkers, Barry
 and navashok most definitely included.
 
 The motivation for calling this stalking is very simple:
 It's an attempt at revenge by Barry and nashoka on those
 who make negative comments on their posts because they are
 unable to refute the comments, and when they instigate
 arguments in an attempt to do so, they are unable to win.
 
 They can't hold their own, so they portray themselves as

 by doing so--especially since they themselves are far more
 guilty of the behavior they complain about than the folks
 they claim are victimizing them.
 
 Neither of them will even try to address what I just said,

It's open season on anyone who cross-posts FFL to Usenet. LoL!

[FairfieldLife] Hillary: the Magneto of finger-pointing

2013-01-25 Thread raunchydog
On his show Thursday night, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart lampooned the 
political theater of the recent hearing on Benghazi.

He noted that Republicans at the hearing asked Secretary of State Hillary 
Clinton the same question repeatedly. Whether Clinton read a particular 
diplomatic cable from deceased Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was asked by 
at least five Republicans.

That's a fair point — that you don't have to all identically make, Stewart 
remarked. But you know, you aren't dealing with a rookie here, guys. This 
ain't Clinton's first go-around at the finger-pointing rodeo. I mean, Clinton 
is like a finger-pointing Magneto. You come at her and she will turn it around 
on you.

When criticized for not firing anyone over the leadership failure that led to 
the deaths of four Americans in Libya, Clinton noted a federal statute 
prohibited State Department officials from being fired for unsatisfactory 
leadership — a federal statute she proposed overturning, but that still 
existed due to congressional inaction. When criticized for not revamping 
security protocols, Clinton noted she had previously asked Congress for 
authority to reallocate funds, *but lacked that authority due to the 
Republican-led House.*

 And to mention Robin - I don't see him writing at the moment - I think he 
 should read Aurobindo, Life Divine for example, because a lot of what he says 
 relates to that, what his main objection to Advaita was, the Impersonal. 
 Aurobindo addresses exactly these points, but from a typical Indian 
 perspective, not a Christian one. So he might be interested in his solution 
 of the problem Personal vs Impersonal.

Because I agree with Barry? That's all the criterion you ever have right? And 
it's wrong, because I know what Barry INTENTS to say, and appreciate him for 
his ATTITUDE. 

 What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to
 do with anything that was going on or ever *has* gone on on
 FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that.

According to your own admission, which you obviously don't remember, you not 
only expressed, that you would prefer me not being on the forum, but said to 
one of your piling-on-comrades at the time, when you were engaged in some kind 
of slugfest with me, 'that's the way to do it. Soon he will give up' (not 
literally). To chase somebody on a public forum  where everyone can post and 
flood them with negativity, as you do it, under whatever pretext, is actually 
quite possible, and obvious in your case. In this sense, the article was indeed 
relating to this type of behavior on FFL, and it is even more obvious, why you 
of all people don't like this to be discussed.

The article clearly explained that one of the tactics of the stalker was 
obsessive flooding with emails. This corresponds directly to some behavior 
here, as flooding with posts can occur here. In addition to the normal stalker, 
who is usually just a single person, you have on groups the phenomenon of 
piling on. Bullying and psychological harassment are all similar behaviors, and 
are known to occur in Internet forums, and on Facebook and studied by 
psychologists.
 
 Commenting negatively on something someone said in a post on
 an Internet forum is not stalking by any honest definition.
 If it were, almost all of us here would be stalkers, Barry
 and navashok most definitely included.
 
 The motivation for calling this stalking is very simple:
 It's an attempt at revenge by Barry and nashoka on those
 who make negative comments on their posts because they are
 unable to refute the comments, and when they instigate
 arguments in an attempt to do so, they are unable to win.

Total BS of course. In the case of the thread we just talked about, YOU were 
asking ME, if I didn't know what my mistake was supposed to be!! Give me a 
break, you didn't even make an argument.

 They can't hold their own, so they portray themselves as
 victims. And they bring nothing but dishonor on themselves
 by doing so--especially since they themselves are far more
 guilty of the behavior they complain about than the folks
 they claim are victimizing them.

Now you are talking a little bit too collectively. With all appreciation of 
Barry that I have, he could be rough with people. That's not me though. You 
have not reason to accuse me of any kind of similar behavior. My simple 
appreciation of Barry, which does not relate to ALL his posts and opinions 
makes you say that this would prove my lack of integrity and my dishonesty. Not 
at all! That I acknowledge the positive points in a person, and that I can see 
- from within his own perspective - the integrity and the wisdom that he 
expresses, that makes you think that I am dishonest? It only shows your own 
lack of  empathy, you are a social cripple who is unable to wish your opponent 
even a happy birthday or a happy new year!! You think that would be

 We think especially hard stops 't' and 'tt' (double t?)
 are quite common in Sanskrit.

 It seems to us most native speakers of English (and many other
 languages lacking that suprasegmental[?] phonemic distinction
 between consonants?) have a hard time to hear the difference
 in length of t-sounds in words like 'citi' and 'citta'.

 In English that difference usually seems indicate difference
 of pronunciation of the preceding *vowel*, e.g:

 bitter Mr. Biter.


Not a good comparison between bitter and citta - the former's a hard
t - the latter soft- a big source of confusion for Westerns they almost
always harden the t and the d.


 The secret of practicing the correct pronounciation of
 the word 'citta'(etc.) might well be first to pronounce 'cit-', then snap
 your fingers, and after that to pronounce '-ta'. Naturally, that
 in most cases greatly exaggerates the very short pause between
 'cit' and 'ta', but one should perhaps gradually shorter the pause
 and compare ones pronunciation for instance to this:

 (e.g. suutra I 2: yogash citta-vRtti-nirodhaH)

Emily, don't show your newbie ignorance. The very 
reason there is a posting limit is BECAUSE of Judy
and a couple of other posters, who used to flood
this forum with hundreds of posts per month. Between
the three of them, they often accumulated over a

stop, and voluntarily cut down on their excessive
(and almost always obsessive, in that they were 
stalking one person or another) posting, they all
refused. Rick wisely invented the posting limit,
and that is the ONLY reason she posts as little
as she does today. 

 Stalking? - again, don't be ridiculous. If there

You mean the way that Ravi was booted off of the 
forum after *he* began stalking Curtis, with the
intention of destroying his online reputation and
jeopardizing his ability to find work as an educator?

Or the many times that Judy and others have openly
declared their intention to drive people they don't

How about the times one or more posters on this forum
have accused people of crimes such as tax evasion,
or accused them of being drunks or drug addicts? That
stuff stays on the Internet forever, and can be found

nobody would be paying any attention to her at all.

 stalking one person or another) posting, they all
 refused. Rick wisely invented the posting limit,
 and that is the ONLY reason she posts as little
 as she does today. 

Just as a reminder of the Bad Old Days, from 
post #121696, back in November, 2006, before 
the posting limits were imposed:

 Total posts: 4672
 
 shempmcgurk -- 541 (11.6%)
 sparaig -- 533 (11.4%)
 authfriend -- 482 (10.3%)
 new.morning -- 265 (5.7%)
 off_world_beings -- 253 (5.4%)
 turquoiseb -- 218 (4.7%)
 
 Again, the top three account for a third
 of all posts. And again, they'll take no
 notice of this. So far in November, they
 account for 47% of all posts made.

Please note that my total was little more than 
we would have today, with the 50-post-per-week
limit. 

Shemp has since left the forum, and when sparaig
posts, he clearly has his OCD under control now,
and posts only a reasonable number of comments
before disappearing again. 

Judy has made BY FAR more posts than any other 
person to this forum, approximately 22,650 of 
them, a cumulative average of 8 posts per day
for 7.7 years. Of those, 7574 (33.4%) mention
Barry OR Turquoiseb, 2976 (13.1%) mention
Vaj, and 2659 (11.7%) mention Curtis. 

Nope, no stalking there.  :-)

2279 of those posts (10%) contain the words lie
OR liar OR lying. It's basically her mantra. :-)

 and appreciate him for his ATTITUDE.

What does he intent to say, and what is his attitude?

  What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to
  do with anything that was going on or ever *has* gone on on
  FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that.
 
 According to your own admission, which you obviously don't 
 remember, you not only expressed, that you would prefer me
 not being on the forum, but said to one of your piling-on-
 comrades at the time, when you were engaged in some kind of 
 slugfest with me, 'that's the way to do it. Soon he will
 give up' (not literally).

Sorry, this is entirely inadequate. You can't remember what
I actually said, or to whom I said it, or even when, let
alone the full context. I suspect you're either making it
up out of whole cloth, or deliberately misinterpreting
what I said. Most likely I was referring to the fact that
you pop in and out of FFL. Unless I simply meant you would
give up on whatever the argument was (if I even used those
words). At any rate, it has nothing whatsoever to do with
cyberstalking.

 To chase somebody on a public forum  where everyone can post
 and flood them with negativity, as you do it, under whatever 
 pretext, is actually quite possible, and obvious in your case.

No chasing is involved, first of all. We're all here
together in the same place.

Second, you and Barry both have chosen to flood me with
negativity. You have been attacking me on a regular basis
ever since I called you on your speculation about another 
participant's purported personality disorder. And Barry,
of course, has been obsessed with attacking me since even
before I got here, as I found out *after* I got here (not
to mention repeatedly lying about how I purportedly have
followed him from forum to forum for the sole purpose of
attacking him).

 In this sense, the article was indeed relating to this type of
 behavior on FFL, and it is even more obvious, why you of all
 people don't like this to be discussed.

I have no objection to anyone discussing my behavior (as long
as they're honest about it), nor do I have any problem with
folks discussing cyberstalking, as long as they don't try to
portray it as what happens on FFL. And when they *do* try to
portray it as such, quite obviously I'm not at all averse to
discussing it.

 The article clearly explained that one of the tactics of the 
 stalker was obsessive flooding with emails. This corresponds 
 directly to some behavior here, as flooding with posts can
 occur here.

It does not correspond. This is a public forum, and anything
one person says about another can immediately be contested,
in public. Furthermore, if you actually read the article, you
know that what the stalker said in her emails was of an
entirely different order than what anybody has ever said here
about another participant. Plus which, she began sending
emails alleging serious misbehavior on the stalkee's part (all
false) to associates of the stalkee, which he only found out
about when they asked him about her accusations.

Wait, I take that back. Barry accused me on FFL of having
badmouthed an opponent of mine (back on alt.m.t) to his
employer. That was entirely, completely false, and he
knew it. That's close to the kind of false accusations
the stalker in the article made. Fortunately Barry made
the accusation in public, so I was able to refute it.
(Although for all I know, he's made it to others in
private. But at least my denial is on the public record.)

 In addition to the normal stalker, who is usually just a single
 person, you have on groups the phenomenon of piling on. Bullying
 and psychological harassment are all similar behaviors, and are
 known to occur in Internet forums, and on Facebook and studied
 by psychologists.

That may be, but it has nothing to do with cyberstalking. 
It's a different phenomenon. It would never occur to me to 
call it cyberstalking when Barry or you pile on or engage
in bullying and psychological harassment.

  Commenting negatively on something someone said in a post on
  an Internet forum is not stalking by any honest definition.
  If it were, almost all of us

It's not a trivial thing to add like the your email thing.  The problem

   Again, the top three account for a third

   account for 47% of all posts made.
 
  Please note that my total was little more than
  we would have today, with the 50-post-per-week

  Shemp has since left the forum, and when sparaig

  and posts only a reasonable number of comments
  before disappearing again.

 Emily, don't show your newbie ignorance. The very

The posting limit was imposed quite some time ago, but
navashok refers to flooding as if it were still
happening. That's why Barry didn't include an
attribution; he doesn't want his buddy to look stupid.
Nor does he want anybody to notice that he's reaching
years back in his attempt to defend navashok and shame
Emily for being a newbie (Emily began posting to FFL
over a year and a half ago).

 Between
 the three of them, they often accumulated over a 
 third of all the posts made to FFL. When asked to
 stop, and voluntarily cut down on their excessive
 (and almost always obsessive, in that they were 
 stalking one person or another) posting, they all

Lies number one and two.

 Rick wisely invented the posting limit,

  Stalking? - again, don't be ridiculous. If there 
  were anything akin to stalking going on here - they'd 
  be booted. 
 
 You mean the way that Ravi was booted off of the 
 forum after *he* began stalking Curtis, with the
 intention of destroying his online reputation and
 jeopardizing his ability to find work as an educator?

Lies number three and four.

 Or the many times that Judy and others have openly
 declared their intention to drive people they don't
 like off of this forum? 

Lie number five.

 How about the times one or more posters on this forum
 have accused people of crimes such as tax evasion,

Lie number six.

 or accused them of being drunks or drug addicts?

(Actually this would be giving the posters in question
the benefit of the doubt--i.e., they were so swizzled
they didn't know what they were saying. But let's let
this one pass.)

 That

 nobody would be paying any attention to her at all.

Lie number seven.

In a five-paragraph post.

If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to expand on why
these are all lies (meaning deliberate misrepresentations
of the facts--nothing to do with opinions).

From another of Barry's posts this morning:

 Judy has made BY FAR more posts than any other
 person to this forum, approximately 22,650 of
 them, a cumulative average of 8 posts per day
 for 7.7 years.

Or only a little over 10 posts more per week than
if the posting limit had been in effect all that
time.

 Barry OR Turquoiseb, 2976 (13.1%) mention

As I've pointed out several times before--and as
he knows without my saying so--Barry's counting
methodology here introduces *gross* distortions

 2279 of those posts (10%) contain the words lie

   What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to

   FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that.
  
  According to your own admission, which you obviously don't 
  remember, you not only expressed, that you would prefer me
  not being on the forum, but said to one of your piling-on-
  comrades at the time, when you were engaged in some kind of 
  slugfest with me, 'that's the way to do it. Soon he will
  give up' (not literally).
 
 Sorry, this is entirely inadequate. 

No, it is adequate.

 You can't remember what
 I actually said, or to whom I said it, or even when, let
 alone the full context. 

I remember well the context, and that you said it to either Ann or Raunchy 
(most liekely). That I don't remember the quote VERBATIM doesn't mean I don't 
remember it in its context and what that meant.

 I suspect you're either making it
 up out of whole cloth, 

This is your standard phrase when you DENY something. For me it is clear, as I 
remember it well, and it shows to me YOUR DISHONESTY. I can't prove it, I don't 
need to, it is enough for me to KNOW and recognize you.

 or deliberately misinterpreting
 what I said. 

Rubbish. You actually know it is true, but you deny it and lie about it. And 
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME you do that. You deny and lie repeatedly.

 Most likely I was referring to the fact that
 you pop in and out of FFL. 

Nope, it wasn't about me specifically, it was about somebody else you where 
chasing away, and in that context you revealed that I would be the next, that I 
was 'almost at that point' (paraphrased)

 Unless I simply meant you would
 give up on whatever the argument was (if I even used those
 words). At any rate, it has nothing whatsoever to do with
 cyberstalking.

No, it clearly referred to the presence on FFL. And everything is related in 
some way. Stalking is one expression, bullying or harassment is another. And it 
is about YOU lying and being in denial, Mrs honesty.
 
  To chase somebody on a public forum  where everyone can post
  and flood them with negativity, as you do it, under whatever 
  pretext, is actually quite possible, and obvious in your case.
 
 No chasing is involved, first of all. We're all here
 together in the same place.

What about YOUR command of English? Chasing is not meant to be literal and 
physical. In this case it means that whenever a person appears you jump on him 
(again allegorically) and try to drag every conversation into something 
negative, by focusing on some insignificant detail, and by constantly insulting 
the poster. IOW that what you do here.
 
 Second, you and Barry both have chosen to flood me with
 negativity. You have been attacking me on a regular basis
 ever since I called you on your speculation about another 
 participant's purported personality disorder.

You should really get this out of your head. I mentioned nothing of that sort 
when I reappeared here, and for a long time. You also completely neglect the 
context this was done. I know this is the origin of your madness (allegorically 
here). It gives you this special rational by which you feel justified for your 
bullying.

  And Barry,
 of course, has been obsessed with attacking me since even
 before I got here, as I found out *after* I got here (not
 to mention repeatedly lying about how I purportedly have
 followed him from forum to forum for the sole purpose of
 attacking him).

There is no doubt that you are obsessed with him, and in my mind there is also 
no doubt that this obsession is poisoning the whole atmosphere of this forum or 
any other you were both present. Everyone could observe this for years. I have 
observed it and wondered about it for years at a time, when we were on usually 
good terms. Even though we agreed on a great number of subjects in the past, 
and usually had a mutual appreciation, I soon started to wonder about two

 Hey Alex and Bhairitu,

 I think I know why the Post Count threads act funny when

 having to try to construct the thread history of literally
 all of them ever posted, and throws up.

 If it's not a big change in the program, might I suggest
 adding a date to the title of the posts when you send
 them? My suspicion is that this would eliminate the

 I had also come to the conclusion that that is why the FFL website was
 having trouble displaying Post Count posts, but it never occurred to me to
 change the script to include the date in the subject line. That's an
 excellent idea! What sayest thou, Bhairitu, Master of the Holy Code? Is
 that possible?

 It's not a trivial thing to add like the your email thing.

 I wonder why - in Perl it would be very trivial to append the current date
 to the subject of an email. It seems easy in Python as well - no?

The Post Count script is PHP not Python.  The Python version is for 
people to use with their email as it will read the Mbox file where FFL 
messages are stored.  It's several lines of code add in the right place 
not just a one liner.  I also think it needs to be PHP 4 compatible.  
You know the dweebs keep feeling the need to change and deprecate 
things.  For instance in Python 3 print is now a function and that will 
break a lot of scripts.

 What the article Barry posted was describing had nothing to
 do with anything that was going on or ever *has* gone on on
 FFL. Barry knows that, navashok knows that.
 
 Commenting negatively on something someone said in a post on
 an Internet forum is not stalking by any honest definition.
 If it were, almost all of us here would be stalkers, Barry
 and navashok most definitely included.
 
 The motivation for calling this stalking is very simple:
 It's an attempt at revenge by Barry and nashoka on those
 who make negative comments on their posts because they are
 unable to refute the comments, and when they instigate
 arguments in an attempt to do so, they are unable to win.
 
 They can't hold their own, so they portray themselves as
 victims. And they bring nothing but dishonor on themselves
 by doing so--especially since they themselves are far more
 guilty of the behavior they complain about than the folks
 they claim are victimizing them.
 
 Neither of them will even try to address what I just said,
 because they know it's accurate.


I am not so sure about that. I searched for the word victim and victimized in 
Barry's posts to see how he applied the word to himself, and he does not seem 
to have used the word in reference to himself. There were some 400+ references 
to the word 'victim' and some 41 for the word 'victimize'. As I have a limited 
time, I chose the word 'victimized' and read every paragraph where he used the 
word in an original post. This provides a reasonable sample.

In not one case does he refer to himself as having been victimized. I really do 
not think he thinks of himself that way. On the other hand, I think you 
empathise with those that are regarded as victims of various situations and 
people. That is a legitimate emotion and I have no quarrel with that. 

In looking at some of your posts, you seem to tend to use the word pretty much 
the way Barry uses it, though I think Barry simply does not empathise much or 
at all by comparison. You used the word victimized almost as frequently as 
Barry, but (as I did not read through all of those) also got the impression you 
did not apply the word to yourself, except in one instance: 'Says Curtis, 
disingenously. He knows I've explicitly rejected the victim notion where 
Robin was concerned. It was the rest of us who were victimized in being 
deprived of Robin's contributions'. [Ack! you misspelled the word 
'disingenuously' in that sentence.]

So I would tend to disagree with your characterisation of Barry as feeling a 
victim, as being victimised. He often refers to you as having a victim 
mentality. However you normally do not seem to give that impression. If I would 
venture a guess, the concept of victimisation is more important to you than it 
is to Barry. But as you know, you regard me as having the least perception of 
social nuance of anyone on this forum, so you should speak for yourself on this 
point.

[Note: Due to some of my past history, even though a substantial portion of my 
life has been in the United States, I tend to spell using the British idiom 
rather than American (when I remember which is which, that is), but as I am 
making exact quotations above and below, I retain the original spelling.]

===

Barry's Original Posts Using the Word 'VICTIMIZED' These are all the posts 
where Barry used the word rather than just cut and pasted from another source, 
or in which the word was used when he quoted someone else, or used by someone 
whose post, or his own original post, was quoted in a reply to such post. I 
have capitalised the word and put spaces between the letters so it is easily 
visible in text-only mode, and will not appear in subsequent searches in case 
someone wants to contradict my information here.

Recent research has shown that there is a one-to-one
 link between people displaying neurotic behavior and
 their risk of developing PTSD. Neurotic behavior is
 defined as a type of personality behavior in which
 people experience high degrees of anxiety in response
 to everyday events, and thus tend to overreact to
 those ordinary events. That seems to me to be almost
 a definition of the long-term cultic TMer, at least
 in my experience. How is *cultivating* this behavioral

He does not. Thinking of the people one stalks AS 
victims is something that stalkers do. Their fantasies
revolve around how strongly they are affecting the
people they hate. 

In my considered opinion, the best thing one can do
when faced with an Internet stalker is to allow them
to fantasize about how strongly they are affecting 
you (something they would do anyway), while not allow-
ing anything they say to affect you at all. Drives 
them crazy. :-)

The other thing it is important to know about stalkers
is what the end point or goal of their game plan
is. That is, put very simply, to get you to respond 
to them one-to-one so that in their diseased minds 
they can have a Robin-like confrontation with you. 
It *doesn't matter* what you say when replying to them.
They already creamed their pants the moment you replied.

No I was done with TM before there was any significant TM presence in western 
NC - I do remember going for my first bloc of the sidhis to Livingston Manor 
(the course where they had the Sidha Man/Superman poster in the lobby!) and one 
day for breakfast they served grits! And they were cooked properly! And yes 
there were a bunch of Yankees who had no idea of what it was or how to eat it - 
I overheard a staff guy who was was evidently from the south tell someone else 
to slap anyone who attempted to put sugar or honey on them.

Worst TM food for me was the Chinese stir fired veggies at MIU - they were 
actually not bad when they first came out of the big kitchen, but due to all 
the cooks being hot to participate in evening program, the dinners were 
supposed to be finished cooking at around 4 or 4:30 in the afternoon - so the 
food sat in warmers for about 3 hours before anyone ate anything and that stuff 
was turned to veggie mush - everyone hated it.

Due to international (meaning Marsh-he and the Srivastavas boys) demanding 
more and more money from MIU in 1986 - 87, the quality of the ingredients got 
more and more poor (since the kitchen director was directed to slash his budget 
as much a possible so he ordered the cheapest and therefore crummiest 
ingredients possible) the quality of the food was going downhill - when I first 
arrived at MIU I was a committed vegetarian of about 5 years - by the time I 
left I had begun to eat meat just to have a break from the lousy food - the 
first thing I ate was fried chicken from some mom and pop place there in 
Fairfield - can't remember the place's name.

An example of how the budget slashing affected the bakery - we often made apple 
pies or apple crisp or apple brown betty - at first we used fresh apples, 
washed, and cored them right in the bakery, and cut them up - labor intensive 
but worth it, especially if they got Braeburns or something like that - then 
all the fresh apples were replaced with big ass cans of already peeled and cut 
up apples - at least they got the ones packed in water instead of syrup

Yes. They were selling minimum lots of $50,000 when Henning
was on his death bed and vedaland obviously wasn't going to 
happen. But they knew alright, he was in a hospice at the 
time unbeknownst to us poor saps on the receiving end of the

Doug was doing at the time and the slick PR guy evasively said
Doug's a great guy and really committed to the project thus 
neatly sidestepping the question. It should have registered 
with me more than it did but I was rather depressed by all the
sales projection charts and BS phone poll results that the
TMO had done to care much about any of it.

Henning died a few weeks later and I was still on the course,
I realised what had happened and was fucking livid but my protests
met with the usual Maharishi knows what he is doing crap.
Yep, ripping off the flock is what he was doing. I stopped
taking it seriously after that, then the raja thing started with
all the million dollar donations and then the Kaplan letter etc.
I know many people who donated to things that never happened
but they all believed that the money was going to where it was 
most needed so it didn't matter! 

I always hoped I'd meet the PR guy again so I could punch his

 to most people in the TMO. Including their pride and sense
 of right and wrong.
 
 And I've seen some shocking abuses of peoples trust and money.
 Some due to incompetence, some deliberate fraud. I saw a
 presentation about vedaland, the TM themepark that Marshy
 was planning in Canada. Designed by magician Doug Henning,
 it was going to have floating buildings as well as being
 educational for the masses about the mythical vedic civilisation.
 It was a slick and, I thought, very cynical money making
 scheme with a minimum stake of $50,000. 
 
 But my ire at their use of BS PR tactics to raise money
 was nothing compared to the anger I voiced when it turned
 out that it wasn't going to happen because Doug Henning
 was on his deathbed with liver cancer.
 
 I was on a course at the time and I was the only one who
 raised hell about it. Apart from the obviously dubious morals
 it's actually illegal, in Europe anyway, to raise money
 for something that isn't going to happen. And if you raise
 money and it doesn't happen for some reason you have to offer
 a refund. The TMO didn't bother with that obviously and blew
 all their credibility with me in an instant but what got me
 was the cowed and defeated attitude of everyone else. Too
 scared to rock the boat in case they got sent home. What sort
 of spontaneous right action was that?

 Hey Alex and Bhairitu,

 I think I know why the Post Count threads act funny when
 you try to open them using the Yahoo viewer. All of them
 have the same title, so in the background the program is
 having to try to construct the thread history of literally
 all of them ever posted, and throws up.

 If it's not a big change in the program, might I suggest
 adding a date to the title of the posts when you send
 them? My suspicion is that this would eliminate the
 Fairfield Life is not available errors.
 I had also come to the conclusion that that is why the FFL website was
 having trouble displaying Post Count posts, but it never occurred to me to
 change the script to include the date in the subject line. That's an
 excellent idea! What sayest thou, Bhairitu, Master of the Holy Code? Is
 that possible?
 It's not a trivial thing to add like the your email thing.

 I wonder why - in Perl it would be very trivial to append the current date
 to the subject of an email. It seems easy in Python as well - no?
 The Post Count script is PHP not Python.  The Python version is for
 people to use with their email as it will read the Mbox file where FFL
 messages are stored.  It's several lines of code add in the right place
 not just a one liner.  I also think it needs to be PHP 4 compatible.
 You know the dweebs keep feeling the need to change and deprecate
 things.  For instance in Python 3 print is now a function and that will
 break a lot of scripts.

I'll take that back as I found a one-liner that will do the trick for 
adding date and time to the subject.

Movement - the fact that most of the TM teachers I ever knew really seemed to 
take very seriously the idea that when one is rounding, one only does the 
meditation, resting and watching/listening to whatever the knowledge program 
was about gave me a lot of emotional comfort where the TMO was concerned and 
was one of the last good feelings I had about the Movement

I mean if nothing else the instruction was to NOT make any major decisions when 
rounding! 

Man oh man. That is the very last straw - the TMO was and is all about MONEY - 
I wish someone would take one of those old tapes of Marsh-hee walking around 
smiling and accepting flowers and set it the the music of the O'Jays For the 
Love of Money, and for good measure digitally replace the flowers he is 
receiving from his adoring TM admirers with fist fulls of hundred dollar bills.

  course. Same chef. Gulob Jamons made from fresh milk boiled down,
  instead powdered milk. It took him all day.
  
  The thing about Arosa, and I've mentioned this before, Greg Wilson
  nearly single handedly destroyed that course by stealing food, and being
  the ring leader of guys playing tricks on the chef. He became angry and
  resentful.
  
  To have the best chef in the movement at that time was awesome, and this
  goofball nearly ruined it.
  
  What is he doing now anyway.? I think he was involved in some oil deal
  in Canada.
  
  I don't feel kindly towards him at all.
 
 I remember Greg Wilson from MIU. I remember him as tall, blond and not bad 
 looking. But if he came between you and a good meal then I can understand 
 your resentment. 
 
 I loved the food at MIU '75-'80. The students would just gorge on the pizzas 
 on pizza night and they seemed to always have ice cream with chocolate sauce 
 and lots of granola at hand so I think I had a sunday practically every 
 night. No one went hungry, let's put it that way.

  Kinda figured you'd be able to do so. It's a pretty
  piss-poor language that doesn't have a simple date()
  function. If I'm right about why the Yahoo Web Viewer
  is throwing up trying to load these posts, just the
  date would do it...no need to add the time. All that
  would be required to avoid the problem is a unique
  Subject line, and date alone would accomplish that.
 
  Thanks for looking into it...
 
 The problem was a one liner that would return UTC time.  Found one that 
 returns GMT time (close enough) and actually it should say UTC instead 
 of GMT because my bet it will still be GMT when BST is in effect.  And 
 I'm not sure that function was around when I wrote the script over 4 
 years ago.  Adding the date will probably help but I also think the main 
 problem is Yahoo Groups no longer likes to have email addresses 
 displayed.  I sent Alex a version where showing the email address is 
 optional and just shows the handles.


Dunno if this is helpful or not, but the laptop that runs the post count script 
is set to UTC. After years of making sure the system clock was changed 
correctly for daylight savings time, so that the script would run at the 
correct time, I went duh and just set the clock to UTC.

something like that?

Also I assume the WPA you were on was in England - does anyone know if they had

That's another point that annoyed me, we'd been rounding 9 hours a day, some of 
us for months. Talk about easy target. And the course
leaders pointed out the rich dudes on the course so they could
get extra smarm from the PR guy over dinner. It was all most 
distasteful.

 
 Wonder how people like Nabby would justify the selling of this thing under 
 the circumstance of Henning's death?

I've mentioned this here before and it rarely gets a comment, most
movement people I've told understand it was wrong but can't reconcile
it with what they want the movement to be I suppose. But as I say I was the

 I am not so sure about that. I searched for the word victim

 word to himself, and he does not seem to have used the word

He does not. Thinking of the people one stalks AS

In my considered opinion, the best thing one can do

 I am not so sure about that. I searched for the word victim

In my considered opinion, the best thing one can do
when faced with an Internet stalker is to allow them

them crazy. :-)

The other thing it is important to know about stalkers

 So I would tend to disagree with your characterisation of
 Barry as feeling a victim, as being victimised.

Well, of course you would.

And of course he would never use the term victim to
refer to himself. I could have told you that before you
spent all that time painstakingly extracting quotes
from the archives and carefully inserting spaces
between letters.

News flash: It's entirely possible to portray oneself
as a victim without ever using the word victim. In
this case, stalkee is a likely synonym. So is
target.

I doubt he *feels* victimized either, because he made
up the whole story about my stalking him in the first
place, way back in 2005, in an attempt to discredit me
just after I joined FFL.

Ironically, making up stories about their targets is
one of the characteristic behaviors of stalkers. This
is just one of innumerable stories Barry has made up
about me.

 it with what they want the movement to be I suppose. But as I say I was the 
 only one at the time who felt strongly enough to complain, everyone else just 
 kept the boat steady. As did I because I thought
 all the rounding would be good for me personally, but I got sick of
 it and desperately needed to do some activity and quit before the course 
 ended.

If the new post count script that Bhairitu sent me today is compatible with the 
new version of PHP that I just installed on the Golden Dell Latitude D610 Post 
Count Laptop of Pure Knowledge, then tomorrow's post count will have a new and 
improved subject line featuring a shiny, sparkly day, date, and time stamp on 
it.

You are like a man who loves to dig up dirt on his ex-wife so he can get in a 
stew about how awful she was and still is, even though the divorce took place 
decades ago. Makes you wonder why he was foolish enough to marry her in the 
first place.

So you are saying that all of us who no longer love and adore the TMO and its 
founder were stupid to lean TM in the beginning? That would have to mean it 
wasn't worth anything to begin with. Or that the TMO ruined it early on. Just 
to be clear, I have always said that Maha had a chance to truly change the 
world and really benefit people and society and he fucked it up by giving in to 
his ego and going for the money, power and sex.

 OK so a couple more questions so I can get the full flavor of this deal - 
 what did you mean by they were selling lots - like in having a home there or 
 something like that?

I mean that $50,000 was the minimum amount they would accept for a share.
 
 Also I assume the WPA you were on was in England - does anyone know if they 
 had WPAs to end the Yugoslavian war here in the United States?

It was in Croatia, close to the action you see. I remember they
encouraged everyone into domes and centres to maximise the effect
worldwide. This was also when Marshy tripled the price after telling
teachers we need to teach as many as we can to change the world.
