BTW, Feste, this exchange with you turned out to be an example of what I meant 
when I said I often take the nastiness quotient down a level in my responses. 
If you read over the whole thing, you'll see that's just what I've done. I 
didn't do it consciously; as I said, it's instinctive.
 

I wrote:

 We'll probably have to agree to disagree, but it seems to me disloyal to not 
let a friend know when you feel they've messed up badly. (I'm not suggesting 
constant niggling criticism about little stuff, idiosyncrasies and so on.)
 

 

 ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote:

 Loyalty toward friends seems to me a better approach than criticizing them. 
It's got nothing to do with fear. 

 

 You are probably right about the recent banning of that poster. You are not 
abusive in the way that he was. You do it in your own style. I actually like 
you, authfriend, but your vendetta against Share leaves a bad taste in the 
mouth and I think you should tone it down. 

 

 ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,  wrote:

 You don't criticize your friends? Even if they deserve it? Interesting. Why 
not? Are you afraid if you do, they'll no longer be your friends? Because I'd 
say it's not much of a friendship that can't survive honest criticism.
 

 I'm not going to go into a long defense, but your description below of both my 
and Share's behavior is significantly inaccurate. (If I were to take Share's 
line, I'd point out that as a friend of Share, you're biased, and therefore I 
don't consider anything you have to say about this to be worthwhile.)
 

 Also, the banning of indifferent_netizen is not a precedent for banning me. In 
the first place, we don't know why he was banned; Rick didn't tell us. I'm 
guessing it was for threatening to out emptybill, something I have never done 
to anyone. In the second place, I have never spoken to anyone on this forum 
anything like the way indiff spoke to emptybill--or the way emptybilll spoke to 
indiff, for that matter.

 To be honest, I didn't care for that post of Share's, but Share is my friend

 You have been pursuing a vendetta against Share for more than a year now, I 
would guess. She has dealt with you mostly in a civil fashion and has even 
tried to engage you in friendly conversation. But your hostility and abuse has 
been relentless. Were I the moderator of this forum, I would issue you with a 
warning to stop the repeated abuse of one member or face expulsion. Then if you 
did not comply I would remove you from this forum. There is already a precedent 
for that with the poster who was recently banned.

 I've never pretended to be saintly, but I do not, in fact, "love to be mean,

Yes, it was an interesting delving into the human condition yesterday and what 
a whirlwind of activity. One person is caught with their underpants down, one 
person is banned, another decides Paris is no longer in the cards, still 
another and another dig deep and unearth a couple of gems. And the Doc is 
waiting for his platinum MGC card. Of course, it is a fictitious scam - there 
is no club but it makes some feel better about it all if they can somehow put a 
label on something in order to make sense of it. And to think, some here don't 
see this as "spiritual". I guess they still haven't figured out humanity and 
all of their to-ings and fro-ings can not be categorized under something so 
limited and unimaginative as "spiritual". This is as "spiritual" as it gets

The problem for the Catholic Church would be that the sacraments central to the 
religion and required for salvation couldn't be administered by priestesses. 
Whatever ceremonies and practices they might devise would be extraneous, 
extra-salvational, as it were.

Oh, God, I love it. Share gets her tits caught in her very own wringer.
 

 She accuses me of being disloyal by not warning indiff he was messing up, 
then, thinking she's catching me in a lie, cites a post documenting that I did 
warn him he risked being thrown out, way back toward the beginning of his visit 
here. (And if she wanted to look further she'd find that my first couple of 
posts to him also warned him about not getting folks' backs up.)
 

 After I'd warned him, I stopped paying attention to his exchanges with empty 
and didn't post to him again until the one Share cites. Following that he made 
another couple of dozen posts before Rick threw him out, mostly back-and-forth 
with empty. I didn't pay any attention to those either.
 

 So Share, I await your apology. I'm sure you'll do the right thing. Good luck 
prying your tits loose.

 Share messes up badly:

 But this dumb retarded motherfucker emptybill seems to have lot of trouble

  Ann,
 

 I believe the Catholic Church considers the role of women to be motherhood and 
not as patriarchs of the church.  The Church may change its stance depending on 
how well the female bishops in the other denominations are perceived by the 
general public.  Also, the Church may change depending on the quality of men 
that enter the seminary to become priests.

Emptybill:  This is a second send,  as the first isn't showing up and I might 
have forgotten to hit send.
 

 Yes, I know Ravi and he is a friend of mine, but of course, I don't control 
Ravi's behavior anymore than I control anyone else's on this forum. He is 
responsible for himself. I am *not* laughing behind your back; I don't even 
know you well enough to do such a thing or know what I would do it about. I 
have had very few exchanges with you. I remember that you posted opera last 
year and that was a treat.  I do laugh a lot, but mostly at the absurdity of 
life and relationships and to the degree that FFL plays into both those things, 
I have laughed myself silly many, many times.  It's been very healing for me.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Message from Ravi

2013-11-21 Thread emptybill
This is why you all should morn Ravi's dismissal from FFL and celebrate his 
unique style of blessing everyone with his personal attention. 

 

 Remember Bill - I don't associate with trailer trash like you. I have nothing 
but contempt, disgust and hostility for dishonest, unintelligent like you. You 
couldn't withstand the heat of my confrontation.
 
Don't flatter yourself - you and your family, your whole bigoted, 
unintelligent, insensitive trailer trash generations are beneath my status, my 
dignity, my intelligence, the sensitivity, beauty and awesomeness of my 
personal consciousness.
 

 And don't be so desperate. Emily's a personal friend of mine and she knows me 
very well, and she's laughing behind your back - Don't embarrass and humiliate 
yourself.
 

 Have some dignity, hope you find your conscience.


 It is my compassion and kindness I have entertained a person like you for this 
long.


May the Universe have mercy on your pitiful, dishonest soul.

This is in response to emptybill's accusations that I have harassed her wife.


 This is nothing but a vicious, malicious lie. I have stretched the limits to 
confront, shock and humiliate emptybill but to suggest I ever contacted his 
wife is hilarious. Emptybill had accidentally emailed me last year and we have 
had private conversations, I have all emails with me and they were all cordial 
and I even wished him luck after he talked about his marriage after a 10 year 
live-in relationship. I'm really shocked at emptybill's dishonesty and I have 
warned him and the moderators to disallow these kinds of malicious lies.

You have been pursuing a vendetta against Share for more than a

fashion and has even tried to engage you in friendly conversation.
But your hostility and abuse has been relentless. Were I the
moderator of this forum, I would issue you with a warning to stop
the repeated abuse of one member or face expulsion. Then if you
did not comply I would remove you from this forum. There is
already a precedent for that with the poster who was recently banned.

I've never pretended to be saintly, but I do not, in fact,

You have been pursuing a vendetta against Share for more than a year 
now, I would guess. She has dealt with you mostly in a civil fashion 
and has even tried to engage you in friendly conversation. But your 
hostility and abuse has been relentless. Were I the moderator of this 
forum, I would issue you with a warning to stop the repeated abuse of 
one member or face expulsion. Then if you did not comply I would 
remove you from this forum. There is already a precedent for that with 
the poster who was recently banned.

Spin. Spin the top, Judy. Blame it all on Share.

Share's comment was justified because Ann wanted to shoot me and posted 
many racist statements about where I live and where I was born. Good 
work, Share!


On the other hand, Judy sounds like a coward, picking on Share all the 
time, instead of policing this group not to post racist statements. It 
may come a surprise to Share to realize that many of the FFL informants 
are prejudiced and really hateful. Go figure.

[FairfieldLife] Message from Ravi

2013-11-21 Thread j_alexander_stanley


This is in response to emptybill's accusations that I have harassed her wife.


 This is nothing but a vicious, malicious lie. I have stretched the limits to 
confront, shock and humiliate emptybill but to suggest I ever contacted his 
wife is hilarious. Emptybill had accidentally emailed me last year and we have 
had private conversations, I have all emails with me and they were all cordial 
and I even wished him luck after he talked about his marriage after a 10 year 
live-in relationship. I'm really shocked at emptybill's dishonesty and I have 
warned him and the moderators to disallow these kinds of malicious lies.
 

 Ravi.

To be honest, I didn't care for that post of Share's, but Share is my friend 
and I do not criticize my friends. 

 

 You have been pursuing a vendetta against Share for more than a year now, I 
would guess. She has dealt with you mostly in a civil fashion and has even 
tried to engage you in friendly conversation. But your hostility and abuse has 
been relentless. Were I the moderator of this forum, I would issue you with a 
warning to stop the repeated abuse of one member or face expulsion. Then if you 
did not comply I would remove you from this forum. There is already a precedent 
for that with the poster who was recently banned.

Well,  I must admit, I've been quite impressed by Judy's one word accurate 
descriptions of the tone of Share's posts.  Judy has the maturity to take 
responsibility for her language; Share doesn't.  Simple.  Can you imagine how 
poor Share would have behaved if someone went after her appearance and 
particularly if it was Judy, Ann or me?  It's a cowardly thing to do and she 
can spin it any way she wants; she's a bullshit artist.  And, that's all from

Most Religions have lost contact with their essential source of knowledge, that 
is, pure intelligence, or Being as Consciousness.  As such, they are like ships 
with a damaged rudder, better than nothing but not very effective.
 

 Slowly, as ethical humanism takes over decaying Religion, the ethical and 
moral foundations of Religions will all be knocked slowly away (note gay 
marriage) by the intellectual elite who happen to be atheists.
 

 Life, without a guide, will disintegrate until a revival of knowledge and 
experience and *Religious Science*  replace moral relativism and ethical 
humanism.
 

 True knowledge of the true principles of living can never be totally lost...

[FairfieldLife] Free Man In Paris V4.01: slightly warmer, in many ways

2013-11-21 Thread TurquoiseB
Same cafe, vastly different mindset. It's still chilly and rainy out,
but as usual it's warm and cozy on the terrace of this cafe. But tonight
there is live music. I simply could not have designed one of my Last
Nights In Paris better if I had tried to do so.

Just inside the cafe proper, and visible from where I'm sitting through
the glass doors, is a three-piece jazz band doing remarkably good Django
Reinhart and the Hot Band Of Paris numbers. Not quite the same
instrumentation -- this group consists of two guitarists and one guy on
sax -- but they still rock.

So I'm about to kick back and enjoy the music, but then the guy next to
me strikes up a conversation, and I can tell instantly that it's going
to be a Good Conversation, so I stop writing what I was writing and pay
attention. Turns out his name is Ben, and he's French, but not
originally from Paris. He points out that when he tells Parisians where
he's from, they look down on him and tune him out. I'm American, and
don't know his home town from shit, so we get along just swimmingly.

And we proceed to have just the Best Parisian Cafe Conversation Ever. It
just fuckin' SOARS, from music to culture to philosophy to Road Trips to
ennuie and how to combat it, to what one does for a living and how
little that matters, to women. And when it comes to women, working as I
do on an integrated development environment for creating iPhone (and
other mobiles) apps, I get to kick back and watch Ben conduct this
long-distance budding romance via texting on his iPhone with a comely
young woman who came into the snowboarding shop where he works and who
has taken the trouble to track down his phone number so she can text
him. This is right-out-of-a-movie stuff; I am just *dying* of laughter
(not the derisive kind) watching all of these texts go down.

She, in her brazen behavior of Texting Him First, has completely
rendered Ben senseless, and smitten. I watch, from my
at-least-thirty-years-older-than-Ben-and-his-new-beloved's point of
view, as a romance really starts, and just enjoy. It's just magic.

Then, appreciating my appreciation, Ben (a regular here) goes out of his
way to introduce me to the only woman in the cafe he's seen me eyeing.
Later, he admits that he did this because he saw her eyeing me back, and
motioning for him to introduce us. She is tall and slim, her name is
Blondine, and from my completely objective, unbiased-in-any-way, and
near-to-Ritam-quality-accurate point of view, kinda a knockout.

We get along well, but then the alarm sounds on *my* iPhone, and I have
to leave to attend one of the last remote phone meetings of my career in
Paris as a consultant to IBM. I would've gladly blown off the meeting,
but it's the one at which I have to contribute my consultant's view of
what's right with the project I've been working on and what's not, so I
really can't blow it off. I owe them the truth. That's what they're
really paying me for.

But you can certainly bet that I'll be here again next week when I
return. Maybe Blondine will be here, maybe she won't. But either way,
I'll be enjoying a night out in a great cafe in Paris, so it's not as if
it'll be a real bummer either way. Cafes are what you make of them.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Re: Church of England Paves Way for Women Bishops in 2014

2013-11-21 Thread Richard J. Williams
Barry claimed he read over 200 books on the Cathars but not a single 
book on the Gnostics. Go figure.


Cathars are derived from Bogumils; Bogomils are derived from Paulicans; 
Paulicans from Manicheans; Manicheans from Gnostics. Thus the Cathars 
are derived from Gnostics.


Barry apparently isn't aware of the Languedocian legend of the 'Queen of 
the South', (Reine du Midi), a title a countess of Toulosue, the 
'Protectrix', identified with the Syrian goddess Anath who in turn is 
closely linked with Isis and the bird-footed Lilith.


Yet another legend current in France is the Meridiana to whom was 
conveyed the secrets of alchemy to Gerbert d'Auriliac. The name 
Meridiana is derived from 'Mary-Diana' thus linking the Magdalene 
legends in the South of France. Lagudedoc was also home to the Knights 
Templers in Europe.


Stoyanov thinks that the one single local Langudocian notion in 
Catharism was the theology of the belief that Mary Magdalene was the 
concubine of Jesus - knowledge that was reserved for the inner circle of 
Cathars: "The teaching of Mary Magdalene as the 'wife or 'concubine' of 
Christ appears moreover, an original Cathar tradition which doesn not 
have any counterpart in Bogomil doctrines".


It is also worth noting that the date of the massacre at Beziers, 22 
July 1209, was St Mary Magdalene's Day or the Feast Day of Mary 
Magdalene. You'll probably also want to make a note of the fact that 
forty years previously the local lord Raymond Trencavel was slain inside 
the Church of Mary Magdalene at Beziers.


The early Gnostic Gospels have no hesitation describing the relationship 
between Mary Magdalene and Jesus. It's unlikely that the townsfolk would 
have access to the Gnostic Gospel, so how do we account for the presence 
of Magdalene legends at Beziers, Maxim, and Provencal? It must have been 
a powerful legend to cause the entire Inquisition to be formulated just 
to root them out. Catharism was the State religion of Languedoc.

I'm curious to know if there are still secret sects who practice 
Catharism in southern France or elsewhere in Europe today.  Writers, 
like Dan Brown, could probably sell many books about this subject.

I will merely interject an interesting (at least to me) point of
history. The Albigensian Crusade, more aptly named The Systematic
Extermination Of A Competing Christian Sect We're Going To Call
'Heretics' Because It Sounds Better Than 'We're Afraid Of Them', is
blamed by the majority of historians on the Cathars' rejection of
certain fundamental ideas of Roman dogma. They believed -- and practiced
-- 'heresy'. A more real reason is that the Cathar religion was growing
by leaps and bounds in the areas of Europe in which it had arisen, at a
time when many people were leaving the Roman Church and its coffers were
dwindling. Can't have that. So they called the Cathars 'heretics' and
eliminated the competition.

But one of the minor points of dogma that probably frightened the Roman
Church the most was that the Cathars exemplified almost total parity
between men and women. Women were allowed to hold property in their own
names, in the 1200s, in what is now the south of France. That didn't
happen officially in what is now France until De Gaulle.

Worse, the Cathar priesthood was open equally to men and women. There
were equal numbers of men and women priests. Really, really, really
can't have that. Just sayin'...

 I didn't say it wasn't a message. I'm saying I don't think it's universally 
perceived as an imperative by those who believe in "life in the great beyond." 
Religious apologists, for example, more often insist that religion and science

in principle to make religion fit in with physics because they're entirely

exempt their buddies from their protestations, moral posturings, etc. and focus 
on me. Going by what others here have said, you are the queen of grudge holding 
and as such your words have little value from my perspective. Same for Ann and 
Emily when they're in that prejudiced and or nasty mode.

And to answer the MGC posts from last night: one of your most vicious tactics 
imo is to poison a fun exchange I'm having with another poster. Which usually 
happens when I've been ignoring you all. IMO this is what Ann did, despite all 
of her clever and or politically correct utterances and your moral posturing. 
And I don't feel like a victim at all. I feel like someone who has stood up 
appropriately for herself. 

From the beginning of all this, you initiate attack, Judy and I defend myself 
as I see fit. I do not initiate attack and that is, I think an important 
difference. One that you will more likely neither see nor admit.
 

 Will this help?

 I will merely interject an interesting (at least to me) point of
 history. The Albigensian Crusade, more aptly named The Systematic
 Extermination Of A Competing Christian Sect We're Going To Call
 'Heretics' Because It Sounds Better Than 'We're Afraid Of Them', is
 blamed by the majority of historians on the Cathars' rejection of
 certain fundamental ideas of Roman dogma. They believed -- and practiced
 -- 'heresy'. A more real reason is that the Cathar religion was growing
 by leaps and bounds in the areas of Europe in which it had arisen, at a
 time when many people were leaving the Roman Church and its coffers were
 dwindling. Can't have that. So they called the Cathars 'heretics' and
 eliminated the competition.
 
 But one of the minor points of dogma that probably frightened the Roman
 Church the most was that the Cathars exemplified almost total parity
 between men and women. Women were allowed to hold property in their own
 names, in the 1200s, in what is now the south of France. That didn't
 happen officially in what is now France until De Gaulle.
 
 Worse, the Cathar priesthood was open equally to men and women. There
 were equal numbers of men and women priests. Really, really, really
 can't have that. Just sayin'...

I have a better idea: start by becoming a vegetarian if what Richard says is to 
be believed (and I believe it). If one is going to meditate perhaps we should 
do so in a house that does not require heat or air conditioning. That would 
mean moving to a more temperate climate. Do you eat meat Buck? Do you drive a 
car or tractor? Do you heat your home? Do you consume anything not made within 
5 miles of where you live? Do you ever travel to faraway places to see 
"saints"? I'd like to be able to say your simplistic and elegant "solution" of 
meditating for two hours a day was going to solve all this but, alas, I fear 
you may have missed the proverbial mark.

I will merely interject an interesting (at least to me) point of
history. The Albigensian Crusade, more aptly named The Systematic
Extermination Of A Competing Christian Sect We're Going To Call
'Heretics' Because It Sounds Better Than 'We're Afraid Of Them', is
blamed by the majority of historians on the Cathars' rejection of
certain fundamental ideas of Roman dogma. They believed -- and practiced
-- 'heresy'. A more real reason is that the Cathar religion was growing
by leaps and bounds in the areas of Europe in which it had arisen, at a
time when many people were leaving the Roman Church and its coffers were
dwindling. Can't have that. So they called the Cathars 'heretics' and
eliminated the competition.

But one of the minor points of dogma that probably frightened the Roman
Church the most was that the Cathars exemplified almost total parity
between men and women. Women were allowed to hold property in their own
names, in the 1200s, in what is now the south of France. That didn't
happen officially in what is now France until De Gaulle.

Worse, the Cathar priesthood was open equally to men and women. There
were equal numbers of men and women priests. Really, really, really
can't have that. Just sayin'...

 Thanks to you and Bhairitu for getting it. There are priorities in life,

 It's not as if I'll be "retiring." There's still lots of work to do,
 editing and writing medical articles for my family's company, and the
 technopimp who is running my contract with IBM (they stopped being able
 to work directly with contractors) says he has a few at-home gigs to
 present me for. He's not fond of their rules, either, especially as it
 applies to several contractors who work through him who (like me)
 already have a long history of being able to work remotely, and for
 *their* company. So he understands my decision as well.
 
 Whatever I wind up working on, it'll be more pleasant because I'll be
 able to do it from my own desk, while taking the occasional break to
 walk the dog and play with Maya. As nice as Paris is, the having to pack
 up, spend hours on the train getting here and then more hours commuting
 across the city to get to work are just making the gig non-viable.
 
 The only thing I'll miss is the occasional wide-band "broadcast" of hype
 for their newest Next Big Thing. The latest -- for a Cloud Cognitive
 Computing technology called Watson -- was like watching evangelists for
 the Church of Skynet. :-)

 I believe it would take another Vatican Council to consider the question of 
priesthood for women.  This council will only happen if the entire church 
leadership perceives that women can fill the priestly duties that are needed in 
the parishes.  If the supply of quality men who want to be priests dwindles, 
the church leaders will have to consider accepting women as priests.

 Ann,
 

 I believe the Catholic Church considers the role of women to be motherhood and 
not as patriarchs of the church.  The Church may change its stance depending on 
how well the female bishops in the other denominations are perceived by the 
general public.  Also, the Church may change depending on the quality of men 
that enter the seminary to become priests.

Thanks to you and Bhairitu for getting it. There are priorities in life,
and at this point Other People's Schedules And Rules don't rank very
high on my list of them. :-)



Problem I have doing contracting is they are always wanting me to do 
something that is not my venue instead of something that uses my 
strengths.  Biggest part of contracting is managing their expectations.




It's not as if I'll be "retiring." There's still lots of work to do,
editing and writing medical articles for my family's company, and the
technopimp who is running my contract with IBM (they stopped being able
to work directly with contractors) says he has a few at-home gigs to
present me for. He's not fond of their rules, either, especially as it
applies to several contractors who work through him who (like me)
already have a long history of being able to work remotely, and for
*their* company. So he understands my decision as well.

Whatever I wind up working on, it'll be more pleasant because I'll be
able to do it from my own desk, while taking the occasional break to
walk the dog and play with Maya. As nice as Paris is, the having to pack
up, spend hours on the train getting here and then more hours commuting
across the city to get to work are just making the gig non-viable.

The only thing I'll miss is the occasional wide-band "broadcast" of hype
for their newest Next Big Thing. The latest -- for a Cloud Cognitive
Computing technology called Watson -- was like watching evangelists for
the Church of Skynet. :-)



Rule the tech industry needs to learn: "just because you CAN do it 
doesn't mean you SHOULD."
