 Doug, in all seriousness, if what you say below is true, this should be the 
last time we hear from you on the subject of moderation, right? 

 

 I mean, if no one is hurling personalized invective, there will be no one's 
posts to delete, and more important THERE WILL BE NOTHING FOR *YOU* TO COMMENT 
ON.
 

 No more 1,600+ word rants spammed to Fairfield Life every other day for 
months. No more posts from you that *intentionally* attempt to preach the need 
for moderation or that attempt to blame it on a small group of people with 
whom you just *happen* to disagree on most philosophical points. 

 

 It looks as if your job is done. Good. And goodbye. Not to mention good 
riddance. 
 

 We fervently hope that your quest as moderator from here on out is both 
successful, and SILENT, and that we never hear from you on the subject of 
moderation again. Ever.

 This evidently is progressing.  As I read through this thread I feel you all 
moderating yourselves in accord with the advice of the Yahoo-groups guidelines. 
I find no need now to step in here between you all. Had it completely devolved 
simply to the personal belligerence of a spitting contest, 'you're angry vs I'm 
not angry' ad nauseam I should advise self-moderation and that you take 
yourselves off-list and spare the community your personalized argument. 
 

 However this thread in process seems to be resolving itself in thoughtful way 
around the content. Generally if it were to continue on devolved as just a 
pissing contest I would request that folks take their personal argument 
off-line and spare the list otherwise or else suffer having the flow of their 
posts as they write to FFL be moderated, and then possibly released to the list 
for general reading as I may get around to them. 
 
 
 More succinctly, we've learned a lot about Edg here by his writing in this 
thread and people seem to be self-moderating as this goes along. If this or any 
other argument devolves to personalized arguments of “You're a [..insert 
insulting slur] person. - No, I'm not [insult]” endlessly, folks will feel the 
levers of moderation pulled in accord with the Yahoo-groups guidelines.

[FairfieldLife] Hackers

2015-06-15 Thread rich...@rwilliams.us [FairfieldLife]
As soon as you access the internet data highway with your computer, security is 
out of the question. 
 

 The ideal and secure computer is a system without any contact to the outside 
world - no  disks, no flash drives, no CD-DVD drives, or cameras and no direct 
contact to other computers by modem or network card or cable. 
 

 Many people do not realize that a computer connected to the internet reveals 
details about their personal life: who they are, where they work, where they 
go, who they visit, and their surfing habits. It's all there - housed as 
digital information at a data center somewhere. 
 

 Most hacker exploits wouldn't be a problem if programmers were a bit more 
diligent in their coding. 
 

 strcpy () is your enemy, strncpy () is your friend.

SUBJECT: [FairfieldLife] Philae only playing possum

  
  The European Space Agency (Esa) says its comet lander,
Philae, has woken up and contacted Earth. 
    
   Philae, the first spacecraft to land on a comet, was
dropped on to the surface of Comet 67P by its mothership, Rosetta, last
November. It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran
flat. The comet has since moved nearer to the Sun and Philae has enough
power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan

Amos. 

    
   An account linked to the probe tweeted the message,
Hello Earth! Can you hear me? On its blog, Esa said Philae had
contacted Earth, via Rosetta, for 85 seconds on Saturday in the first
contact since going into hibernation in November.
    
   We don't leave anyone behind.

 Oh, Goddamn, Edg.
  
 Please stop with the faux outrage.

I can't say I regret bring you back into the dialog with my mild barb.
  
 I mean, you realize this is one of the few times you have actually

 But, in all honesty Edg, I think your post to Doug, holding him
accountable for the credentials of this scientist, was also, IMO,

How so?

Quite simply I have not reported (here at FFL or elsewhere online) my
inner emotional states throughout my life with any detail such that a,
what?, couch psychiatrist?, can insinuate about my past or present or
future emotional states.let alone present a logical assembly of my
posts that would demonstrate to a scientific prognosticator enough

piss on it, that anger just clouds his judgment and it's just not worth

Yet this is exactly the intent of your post.  You with no credentials
are asserting something untrue about me.  
This is a foul accusation about me.  I protest to Doug.  

Doug?  There are not enough facts in evidence that I am someone with
stored up anger -- which is merely code for might blow at any minute.
 My online history is checkered with every manner of emotionalism,
because I'm a writer and give myself permission to be silly, satirical,

bad apples that were in a harvest? Though if you know folks in it there quite 
evidently are a lot of good people doing good work inside the group and there 
is a lot of process going on right now to reform things with a higher regard 
for ethical behavior and outcomes.  A lot of cultural idiosyncrasy is being 
moved out inside aspects of the movement thru the processes of the larger 
meditating community alliance around communal mental health.  This particular 
lecture is not a new one but is evidently part of larger processes towards 
clarifying things going forward in reform.  You being away from things may miss

 Obviously, some FFL informants have a need for someone to talk to. Maybe they

here knows that Steve was trying to elbow my ribs is ANOTHER ACT OF AGGRESSION 
AGAINST ME.

Hee hee, fucking hee..I loves me da capital letters.

Can I get angry in a nanosecond?  OF FUCKING COURSE I CAN.  Can't you?

Can I have love flowing instantly?  OF FUCKING COURSE I CAN.  Can't you?

Have I lived a mostly normal life?  OF FUCKING COURSE I DID.  Didn't you?

I have been every kind of person -- shitheel, joker, leader, teacher, priest,

husband, uncle, cousin, loser, winner.  Got me tons of success and tons of 
failure.  OF COURSE I HAVE HAD EVERY EMOTION A THOUSAND TIMES AND CAN RECALL OR 
RE-INSTITUTE THOSE WORKINGS OF MY NERVOUS SYSTEM.

I'm having five thoughts per second -- I can cherry pick any emotion I want and 
by attending it, amplifying it into a full flown mental event with tons of 
processing.  CAN'T YOU?  Or rather, DON'T YOU SEE THAT YOU DO THIS TOO?

If you haven't been all roles of life and gotten really muddified, shame on you 
for wasting a life.  

Am I angry right now as I type this?  NOOO!  THIS IS FUN !  I'm writing!  
I'm putting words together just so.  

If I was angry, you'd not know  it until the boom was lowered -- would not want 
to give you advanced warning...that I was just now stepping up onto your 
porchwith a blunt instrument.hee heesee?I just put an onerous 
image into your mind..writers get away with this shit.

And, me?, angry at the pissants here when I have had REAL ENEMIES WHO DID 
MASSIVE DAMAGE TO ME IN EVERY WAY?  Get real -- no one here is worth my anger.  
And by the way, I have never taken revenge on anyone in the real

that Willy's nose wouldn't be bloodied if I was stuck in an elevator with him, 
but God has protected me by not putting me in said circumstances.  Lucky me, eh?

The real issue that I was addressing with satire is that Steve's trolling is 
too subtle for the likes of Doug to moderate.  Doug can't nail Steve for having 
an evil intent, because it would require a massive trial and gathering of facts 
-- impossible.  THAT WAS MY POINT. Doug is going to fail at moderation, because 
everyone would fail at it.  

And how much more does it take for Doug to declare someone a misfit troll out 
to make someone feel bad?

Does it really have to be such a large deal like someone asserting a lie that 
amounts to legal libel before Doug will ban someone?  

It's obvious that there's many here who LOVE TO DIG AT SOMEONE and get them 
riled up, and yet, Doug has not addressed anyone's MANY sins since he took 
over here.  See? That's proof about how hard it is to pull it off -- Doug's

 1.  Doug was a moderator and not responsible for vetting all content (that

 You are incorrect what Edge posted was a satire. The use of humor, irony, 
exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, 
particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

 Now that sounds like someone who is angry, that anger directed at Steve in 
this case. This pretty much looks like a personal attack, whereas Steve, it 
seemed to me (opinion), was just making a suggestion. If any one has violated 
the guidelines here in this exchange, you have.
 

 I have to admit though, it is very entertaining. People to not require a Ph.D. 
to determine whether they think someone is angry or unbalanced, though 
eventually other factors may intervene for that someone, such as law 
enforcement officers or medical professionals working in the area of mental 
health.
 

 If I were to comment on 'your case', I would have the opinion you have low 
self esteem, that you blow up some simple comments into a vast conspiracy 
against your person.

 Steve, You are labeling me as someone with stored up anger.to whatever 
degreeand for a large part of my adult life.

This is an ad hominem -- in a public forum.  

How so?

Quite simply I have not reported (here at FFL or elsewhere online) my inner 
emotional states throughout my life with any detail such that a, what?, couch 
psychiatrist?, can insinuate about my past or present or future emotional 
states.let alone present a logical assembly of my posts that would 
demonstrate to a scientific prognosticator enough information for that 
decider to say, Oh, yeah, that kind of mind, piss on it, that anger just 
clouds his judgment and it's just not worth dealing with this fuckwad.

Yet this is exactly the intent of your post.  You with no credentials are 
asserting something untrue about me.   
This is a foul accusation about me.  I protest to Doug.  

Doug?  There are not enough facts in evidence that I am someone with stored up 
anger -- which is merely code for might blow at any minute.  My online 
history is checkered with every manner of emotionalism, because I'm a writer 
and give myself permission to be silly, satirical, rude, outrageous, poetic, 
raw, real, fake OR WHATEVER.  To interpret who I am from my online posts would 
require a PhD jury to authenticate some candidate's findings.  AS FUCKING IF.  
This is an outrageous smear job by any decent minded regard.

And, further, the question: Does that make sense? is clearly another 
attempt to present the concept Edg is sooo fucking 
stupid, you have to treat him like child, and always double check what's going 
on in that little noggin' of his.  

It is this sort of tactic that everyone here understands for what it is:  plain 
old trolling -- with a smirk that assumes there's denial ability to shield all 
protests.  What?  I never meant that. Why how dare you accuse me of having 
such a low intent. -- like that. Like fucking that.  That's the tactic -- to 
me, it's Gestapol shit.

Now, in the past, I would enter into a delightful tirade of withering 
statements about you, personally, that would leave stains on your soul, but 
DOUG IS WATCHING, so I won't.

But you have violated the intent and spirit of the guidelines -- IN MY OPINION, 
and I call for Doug to arbitrate this issue and give us the benefit of his 
wisdom -- here in the public forum where the act occurred. Let's see if you 
have, indeed, befouled our pristine and new intent to be civil here, or if I'm 
mistaken and, truly,

Hee hee, fucking hee..I loves me da capital letters.

Can I get angry in a nanosecond?  OF FUCKING COURSE I CAN.  Can't you?

Can I have love flowing instantly?  OF FUCKING COURSE I CAN.  Can't you?

I'm having five thoughts per second -- I can cherry pick any emotion I want and

The real issue that I was addressing with satire is that Steve's trolling is 
too subtle for the likes of Doug to moderate.  Doug can't nail Steve for having 
an evil intent, because it would require a massive trial and gathering of facts 
-- impossible.  THAT WAS MY POINT. Doug is going to fail at moderation, because 
everyone would fail at it.  

And how much more does it take for Doug to declare someone a misfit troll out

Does it really have to be such a large deal like someone asserting a lie that 
amounts to legal libel before Doug will ban someone?  

It's obvious that there's many here who LOVE TO DIG AT SOMEONE and get them

 Richard,
 

 It is not my professional name. It is a name I use nowhere else but on this 
site to avoid people linking my work with this site. If you use either my birth 
name or my actual professional name on this site I will do everything I can to 
get you banned forever. I am confident it will be an easy sell.

 

 When you used my full real name last time I asked you to do the decent thing 
and stop. Instead you doubled down and began posting every instance where my 
name came up including when I first posted on Alt TM many many years ago before 
I realized the implications of using my real name on such a site. Because you 
reposted it here I had waste my time and Rick's to delete the mess you caused  
Reposting my name as a recent post was causing the search engines to link my 
job to this site. 

 

 You are a malevolent person to me. I don't want you to ever refer to me by any 
name here. You and I have nothing to discuss ever.

 Me:I appreciate your saying that now Doug. I only cared when it became a

evaluated by two national arts organizations and I know they were searching on 
my real name to learn about my online presence. Although the views I express 
here are just a secular view point on spiritual claims and I am proud of this 
work, the craziness that it often invokes might lead someone to declare guilt

 Folks are now making a lot of assumptions about my feelings about content. I 
had long interviews with Rick about this in coming in to the job of FFL CEO. 
However, my coming in to the FFL CEO [Chief Enforcement Officer] of yahoo's 
groups-guidelines is not about content but is about the personalization of 
unkindness that has become cultural on FFL, like the unkindness you experienced.
  
 Me: I am not sure I can go along with conflating purposeful personal identity 
outing to hurt someone in the real world with unkindness. It minimizes the 
intent to actually harm. I couldn't care less about people writing unkind 
things about me. I just don't want my full legal name published in an attempt 
to link my writing on this site with the rest of my work with the public. 
Personally I felt as though the instigators of this behavior all went to their 
own group so as far as I am concerned the problem is solved with them being 
gone. Their drive-bys have only reinforced this view.
  
 I will cop to making assumptions about your feelings about content. I have 
been confused by your actual views verses your Buck persona for a few years now.
  
  
 D:
 Generally going forward now, folks should expect that their posts will be 
summarily deleted where unkindness crosses in to violation of the yahoo-groups

motivations are that drive it, and what it hopes to accomplish, are the moments 
between 40:40 and 52:50 in the season finale of Game Of Thrones titled 
Mother's Mercy. In that segment, a representative of the fanatical religious 
cult who calls himself the High Sparrow gets to force someone he hates to 
undergo his idea of atonement, walking naked through a crowd of people who 
jeer at the High Sparrow's victim and throw shit and and garbage at them, while 
his female sycophant walks along behind the victim, ringing a bell and chanting 
Shame!  Shame!  Shame!  Shame! And all of this is viewed as not only 
necessary but the vindication of spirituality and religion -- what is needed to 
set things right and return society to its proper balance. For those who have 
been watching Game Of Thrones, I allow you to choose who on FFL plays the role 
of the High Sparrow, and who plays the part of the Crazed Nun chanting Shame!  
Shame!  Shame!  Shame! with a look of ecstasy on her face, as if finally being

The real issue that I was addressing with satire is that Steve's trolling is

everyone would fail at it.
 

 Your writing style, like that of Ravi some years ago seems to give the

And how much more does it take for Doug to declare someone a misfit troll out

 I would say your previous post might trigger some action, based on a rather 
literal reading of Yahoo guidelines.

Does it really have to be such a large deal like someone asserting a lie that 
amounts to legal libel before Doug will ban someone? 
 

 Doug may be feeling compassion. Perhaps he thinks you should be hospitalised.

It's obvious that there's many here who LOVE TO DIG AT SOMEONE and get them 
riled up, and yet, Doug has not addressed anyone's MANY sins since he took

things, and he knows it. What Rick wants is for the horrific personal
abuse to stop. Doug has various tools at his disposal short of
banishment, including warnings and setting an individual's posts to come
to him for approval before posting. Let's all relax and see what happens
rather than expecting the worst and protesting it in advance.
  
 As to Doug's last name in the header of his posts, to see it, do

to comment, deal with and thoughtfully consider content but if folks are
having arguments that are personal they should just take themselves
offline and spare FFL. Going forward, personalized name-calling that is
degrading, disrespectful or humiliating will quickly be seen to become
abuse on FFL. Read through the yahoo-groups guidelines and reflect.
Where it is at all evident just expect to be moderated one way or
another by any of the moderators without explanation.

  

 Generally, I do not expect to spend much time editing at all on
this or discussing this, particularly with trolls at all. Take the time
to read over the yahoo-groups guidelines and write accordingly. Error
well on the side of kindness and you will be well within the

 I appreciate and understand that some lot of folks here spend a lot
of their life energy and time composing things to post on FFL. Going

 Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that was used

to

describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins
a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect
of a show  ..and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show
strayed irreparably from its original premise. ..The usage of jump the
shark has subsequently broadened beyond television, indicating the
moment when a brand, design, franchise or creative effort's evolution
declines.

 Doug, thanks for taking the time to fully explain your new role

   CDB, I am glad you are back and I hope I can lend you as well as
some others who would return some protection of trust and safety here to
write more freely. The railroading of you by invasion of privacy was one
of the more infamous times of abuse on FFL.

    

   That personalized invasion of your privacy was a low point on FFL
that was way against Rick's original intentions for the site and clearly
against what are now the yahoo-groups guidelines. Yours was proly not
the moment of decline but the list had evidently jumped a shark before
with an influx of personal antagonisms which have since developed into
some literary forms of perfection in a hyper personalization of the ad
hominem meme here to hurt people.


Me:I appreciate your saying that now Doug. I only cared when it became a
campaign to publish my name with old posts because at that time I was
being evaluated by two national arts organizations and I know they were
searching on my real name to learn about my online presence. Although
the views I express here are just a secular view point on spiritual
claims and I am proud of this work, the craziness that it often invokes
might lead someone to declare guilt by association. I also do not want
schools to be confused between my adult communications here and what I
might teach in schools.

    

   D:

   Folks are now making a lot of assumptions about my feelings about
content. I had long interviews with Rick about this in coming in to the
job of FFL CEO. However, my coming in to the FFL CEO [Chief Enforcement
Officer] of yahoo's groups-guidelines is not about content but is about
the personalization of unkindness that has become cultural on FFL, like
the unkindness you experienced.

    

   Me: I am not sure I can go along with conflating purposeful
personal identity outing to hurt someone in the real world with
unkindness. It minimizes the intent to actually harm. I couldn't care
less about people writing unkind things about me. I just don't want my
full legal name published in an attempt to link my writing on this site
with the rest of my work with the public. Personally I felt as though
the instigators of this behavior all went to their own group so as far
as I am concerned the problem is solved with them being gone. Their
drive-bys have only reinforced this view.

    

   I will cop to making assumptions about your feelings about
content. I have been confused by your actual views verses your Buck
persona for a few years now.

    

    

   D:

   Generally going forward now, folks should expect that their posts
will be summarily deleted where unkindness crosses in to violation of
the yahoo-groups guidelines. The guidelines are really quite simple and
the many sophist-icated and several of our professional writers here can
take the time for self-restraint before they may push their send button
to FFL.

    

   Writing more generally, soon I am going to start following Rick's
lead on this and start to delete posts or more made to the list without
warning where the invective in writing is personalized. Yes it is fine
to comment, deal with and thoughtfully consider content but if folks are
having arguments that are personal they should just take themselves
offline and spare FFL. Going forward, personalized name-calling that is
degrading, disrespectful or humiliating will quickly be seen to become
abuse on FFL. Read through the yahoo-groups guidelines and reflect.
Where it is at all evident just expect to be moderated one way or
another by any of the moderators without explanation.

    

   Me: Here we may disagree about the clarity of the Yahoo
guidelines. They were probably written by lawyers to keep them out of
lawsuits and they have not defined terms well enough to even be called
guidelines for writing behavior. They basically are saying Peace out,
you decide what is unkind. And now that person who will be interpreting
is you. It is what you have wanted for a long time so I hope it lives up
to your expectations.

    

   D:

   Generally, I do not expect to spend much time editing at all on
this or discussing this, particularly with trolls at all. Take the time
to read over the yahoo-groups guidelines and write accordingly. Error
well on the side of kindness and you will be well within the
yahoo-groups guidelines and fine.

And whose personal sensibilities are we to avoid (what Rauncy used to refer to 
as) the peal clutching reaction to things people write here?

Am I supposed to write as if the strict movement fundamentalist Buck might be 
offended as part of his act, or am I supposed to imagine what the real person

since I have read so much more from the mask creature.

Can I perhaps use the same artifice to express feelings I have, for example

 /Is it something I said? LoL!/

Quoting Duveyoung no_re...@yahoogroups.com:


 

 I have posted a lot of personal attacks on folks I have decided
were trolls, but I thought I was doing so with creativity.  

  

 For instance, that list of about ten insults aimed at Willy that I
wrote were quite creative despite their being vitriolic and MEANT to
sting.  Were they creative enough to be called satire or were they mere
mud slinging?  Can't I actually justify wanting to sting someone in
response to their attacks on me?  

Why does PC trump my right as an artist to express my disdain in any
manner that is not physically destructive of the property of others?  If
the emotional responses of others is considered to be their property
that can be damaged by a well aimed blurb, then I think we have a
problem, Houston.  

Whose emotions?

I am not responsible for my brothers' feelings.  

  

 No one is -- except themselves -- maybe.  Just maybe.  Karma is
unfathomable -- does anyone argue with that concept? 

If I am the arbiter of what is truth, what is smarm, what is hate speech
etc., then let me tells ya -- I am ABSOLUTELY OFFENDED BY ALMOST
EVERYTHING POSTED HERE.

  

 See?  I cannot be allowed to impose my value-set upon anyone,
because I might be, what? cruel, stupid, heartless, silly or a combo of
all these traits?

If this were an ashram, then an agreed upon set of values would be the
core of that community.  Here at FFL, perhaps that was once a hope, but
long gone 'tis.

So, if this isn't an ashram, but YET STILL we now have an, as if,
Values of Damocles hanging above our heads -- a moderation of
UNKNOWABLE, not merely unknown, potency, are we not now set up for a
huge fight here if someone gets dumped because someone else was too
sensitive instead of real-world tough?

Just to be clearsince Doug has been appointed, I personally have
been ATTACKED by several posters -- done with very subtle innuendo etc.,
but there it is -- PLAIN AS DAY.  The intended message is:  you are a
disposable mind.  See?  Not your logic needs some correction, but

the

insinuation is you will never have anything to offer here that would be
of any interest to me, and why are you taking up my mind-time by posting
your crap here you fucking worm -- or something like that.

THAT'S THE FEELING LEVELsome small insinuation is all it
takes..consult Willy on this...he is a master at pimping people with
truth.  And that's the truth.not a jab at Willy's ribs with a
sharpened elbow.

And I'll make all this really silly:  I hereby affirm my hereinabove
mentioned list of insults for Willy is my work, and I would publish it
again tomorrow if I had not already written it.  I meant it. I don't
like Willy, and I've got many reasons, and I don't hear Doug inviting me
to present my case to him for why Willy should be dumped just on the
history of his posting alone.

I meant it.

Does that mean I have as if posted it again because I brought it to the
fore even though I did not repost it?

Have I meta-sinned?

Ask Godel!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Obama backed trade bill fails

  They were trying to get these bills passed without
disclosing what was in them.  We may have a Republic but the people
still have the right to know.  Obama wanted dictatorial powers at the
behest of the corporations.  No such bills should EVER be passed unless
our legislators can tell us what is in them. 

The real news is that the Democrats including Pelosi this time did not
back Obama.  Believe the corporate thugs will try again.

In other new, Net Neutrality is now official.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Big day for Doug

 /You sound really scared of Steve. LoL!/

Quoting salyavin808 no_re...@yahoogroups.com:


 

 So, it's here at last. Our Doug gets his wish to moderate FFL and
according to Yahoo guidelines no less!

  

 First order of the day is the poster known as seventhray. He only
ever logs on to wind up, belittle and insult other posters with a
practised routine that isn't anywhere near as funny or clever as he
thinks it is.

  

 He has nothing to add to the topics discussed by the group and only
ever tries to subtract from them with his blatant trolling.

  

 You once praised Jimbo for his decisive handling of The Peak and
wished something like that could be done here. Well this guys behaviour
wouldn't be tolerated there, so I guess you know what to do.

  

 We're all counting on you to clean this place up.

  

 Kind regards

  

 Salyavin.

  

 PS there's a few others we can tackle together tomorrow...

 The interview was abruptly ended by MMY when the interviewer asked
him if he could fly.   MMY said the interviewer was superficial and no
longer wanted to answer the questions.  Bevan then came into the room
and literally pulled the plug.

 . Shows numerous butt-bouncers and some statements by John Knapp.
 Exposes false claims such as invincibility, along with revelations
about the big money aspects of the Movement.

 ..

 I might add that given that Tat Wala Baba was supposedly in Unity,
he was mistakenly shot and killed by a hunter while meditating in his
cave.  So much for invincibility. The interviewer's conclusion:
Gobbledegook and rubbish!

This doesn't seem to me like a good way to welcome the new moderator, to 
suggest he might go off his rocker because he is religious.  

 Obviously you're interested in religion and the spiritual movement in 
Fairfield, otherwise you wouldn't even be here. 
 

 All Doug is asking you to do is be civil and avoid starting an online riot or 
flame war. Thanks.

 No, no, ... you need some restraints on your mental excesses. It was an 
alternative suggestion if Doug went off his rocker, but so far we have no 
evidence of what might happen, which is pretty much the way life is anyway. Now 
that Doug has assumed this office, for which he has been campaigning since the 
universe began, he does have a responsibility both to Rick and to us, so I do 
not see why he should not be allowed the attempt. To do this right you have to 
step out of your personal quirks and manage a larger realm, so it might be a 
good learning experience. Doug seems to have a sort of religious background, 
whereas many of us here do not or abandoned these background indoctrinations. 
That would mean many things some of us think are false, Doug may think are 
true. I wonder if he will feel a conflict? 

 Question: why seventhray? Seven rays is a common metaphor in a lot of 
spiritual traditions. Why not eight, or nine? Problem here is we have a lot of 
half rays. Together they could add up though. Spiritual traditions seem to have 
a lot of made up numbers.

 Let's just see how it turns out. We could always create Fairfield Life II if 
it does not. Here is the current description of Fairfield Life, in case any of 
us have forgotten: 

 Group Description Fairfield Life focuses on topics of interest to seekers (and 
finders) of truth and liberation everywhere. Fairfield, Iowa is home to 
Maharishi University of Management, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1971. 
There are about 2000 Transcendental Meditation practitioners here, as well as 
many others pursuing various spiritual paths.

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is 
the exact opposite. ~ Bertrand Russell

We often discuss the trials and tribulations of the TM Movement, which may not 
interest some, but that's why God created the delete key. Discussions also draw 
from diverse teachers such as Ammachi, Eckhart Tolle, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, 
Byron Katie, Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, Shankara, etc.

The healthy mind challenges its own assumptions. ~ The I Ching

Pretty much any topic is fair game. Currently, there's a lot of discussion 
about American politics. We have discussed spirituality, politics, economics, 
morality and higher states of consciousness, drug laws, evolution vs. 
creationism, enlightenment, advaita, reincarnation, karma, Jyotish (Vedic 
astrology), yagya, Ayurveda, dzogchen, tantra, channeling, vegetarianism, 
kundalini, celibacy, sexuality, homosexuality, abortion, racism, UFOs, 
Buddhism, Hinduism, Veda, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Scientology, etc.

Whatever you think, it's more than that ~ Incredible String Band

You can lurk without joining, but you have to join to post. Members can access 
Files, Photos, Links, and Database.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I 
have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. 
~ Buddha

Take what you need and leave the rest. ~ The Band

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for 
the truth; and truth rewarded me. ~ Simone de Beauvoir

 What you need to understand is that most of us aren't allowed to commandeer 
the living room TV remote and force your SO and the kids to watch some obscure 
depressing movie. It just doesn't work that way in a family.

had Dish installed in 2001 I was the first HD customer the installer had set 
up.  As it was after he left I set it up correctly. ;-) 
 

 It sounds complicated.
 
 Fall of 2013 Comcast encrypted basic cable so I fired them.  The customer rep 
told me she would rather do without her cellphone than be without cable. Yeah,

Just for the record, I should point out that Rick banned me from the group 
without sending me a single message or email explaining why. So, I appealed to 
him and he reinstated my posting privileges. Apparently an informant objected 
to my using their real name, although they had previously posted under their 
real name. Go figure.

 Sad news. 

 

 The really sad part of this is that Barry has not apologized to me for over 
two decades for posting my real name on a.m.t. Go figure.
 

 But, this brings up an interesting subject. From what I've read, authfriend 
has never used her real name on FFL, so I guess that everyone that ever used 
her real name should be banned from the group. That would include almost 
everyone currently posting. Can anyone spell cognitive dissonance?
 

 Might I propose, before Doug starts banning people, that you and Rick insist 
on a few guidelines for *him* when he does this. 

 

 I'm suggesting this because I think everyone here is aware that Doug 
is...uh...not quite in touch with reality these days, and tends to see things 
that aren't really there. 

 

 So what I suggest is that if he is indeed given the power to ban someone, he 
cannot do so without reposting *the exact post* that Doug feels is in violation 
of the Yahoo Guidelines, and without explaining to the group *exactly why* he 
thinks this poster needs to be banned. 

 

 Otherwise, you know what's going to happen. Doug will just ban the people he 
doesn't like, without telling *anyone*, and they'll just fall off the radar 
because they can't post any more, either to complain or to defend themselves. 

 

 I think we all know that a tyrant has just been handed the keys to the 
kingdom. I think we also all know what he will do with them. I'm just 
suggesting a procedure that insures he can't do it in secret.

 /Apparently, nobody currently posting to this forum has ever made this

Judy objects to anyone posting lies about her, and that she practices TM,
she does not have clarity in her messages. It seems pretty clear to me:

 Xeno,

Thank you for remaining in a state of apatheiatowards Judy's agitating
assalts towards you. In her absence from FFL, my memory became numb
regarding her willful intransigence. However, her FFL persona once again
appears only bounded by her current choice of likes and dislikes -
something variable from season to season, poster to poster. This
character trait indicates a petty (sometimes viciously petty) mentality
– something self-serving in function and compulsive in expression.

  

 Like you and many readers here, I overlook Barry’s baiting barbs
and self-involved vignettes. After all, on FFL we are free to ignore or
reply as we see fit - doing the same thing that Barry professes. At
least Barry offers some original assertions and views – all of that
rather than the old, “you are a liar, a thief and an uncharged

felon”. 


  

 I can read your posts only sometimes because I have limited
available time - if at all. But, when I do, I still appreciate the
/apatheia/. Many of our posting folks seem to lack even the semblance of
dispassion. Perhaps that is just my perception, but unfortunately, that
presents an obvious argument that TM doesn’t really develop the clarity
of the witnessing neuro-physiology as claimed by true believers.

 So, I guess we know what you did on Saturday night. LoL!

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

 I have the luxury of having a whole weekend off with no work I have to do, so 
I admit to having binge-watched this series (Sense8) a bit. I did this even 
though as Michael said the Wachowskis have only made one good move, a few 
mediocre movies, and a few really, really awful movies. And I must say that my 
hopefulness and willingness to give them a break have paid off -- I'm now on 
episode 6 of Sense8 and I've quite enjoyed the ride so far. 

 

 Part of it, as you suggest, is the group mind thing. I find that this 
concept is handled pretty well in the series, especially at the beginning when 
these 8 people from all over the world who suddenly find themselves mind-linked 
are spending most of their time saying WTF???! and wondering what is going 
on. I find the travelogue nature of the show -- literally bouncing from 
Chicago to London to Nairobi to Seoul to Mexico City to Mumbai to San Francisco 
to Berlin -- fascinating, and enjoy the way the various directors have 
presented the visuals of these different places. That's another thing -- there 
really are various directors, and not just the Wachowskis. Tom Tykwer (Run 
Lola Run, Perfume: Story of a Murderer) directed the most recent episode I 
watched. 

 

 As for the mystery of how I find the movies and TV shows I recommend, I have 
to shrug my shoulders like Johnny Depp and say, Pirate! Really. You have to 
remember that I don't have to actually pay for *any* of these things I watch. I 
*do* still buy DVD sets for great films or series I enjoy if I want to see the 
extras or the making of specials, and I still go out to the cinema if it's 
a film that I feel really has to be seen up on the big screen (like the recent 
Mad Max: Fury Road), but mainly I get my leads just from my own intuition 
and a lifetime of experience as a fan of the cinema. I'll just scan down a list 
of the new movies and TV shows available on my torrent feed, and when I 
encounter one I don't know, I just look it up quickly on IMDB and if it sounds 
interesting either because of the cast or the director of whatever, I'll just 
download it and give it a shot. I live in a pirate-friendly country, and so 
literally have nothing to lose but a little time if I make a bad intuitive 
choice. But most of the time my guesses are pretty good. 

 

 What I *don't* do is read other people's reviews, either of TV or movies. I 
*write* such reviews under a number of different names for a number of 
different publications, and so to keep from being influenced by other critics' 
words, I don't read them. The only time I ever really read someone's review of 
a movie or TV show is *after* I have seen it. 
 

 All of this said, I'm finding Sense8 quite enjoyable and to be a somewhat 
quality production, whereas I found the recent Aquarius to be mediocre in the 
extreme -- I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they're feeling nostalgic 
for the look and feel of California in 1967. The only movie that's really 
knocked my socks off lately was Ex Machina and the only three series that are 
currently being broadcast (that is, not currently on hiatus) that I really 
*love* are Game Of Thrones, Orphan Black, and Hannibal. If I'm feeling in 
a Gothic mood, I watch Penny Dreadful and the new Jonathan Strange  Mr 
Norrell. 
 

 I will *sorely* miss Justified, which ended recently, and my favorites among 
the shows that recently finished for the season were Outlander and Dig and 
The Knick and The Blacklist and 12 Monkeys. 
 

 The *single* best TV episodes I've seen in recent months were the Hardhome 
episode (S05E08) of Game Of Thrones and the Antipasto episode (S03E01) of 
Hannibal. Both pretty much constitute state of the art when it comes to 
television writing, casting, acting, production, and directing.
 

 BTW, thanks for talking about something you enjoy, and allowing me to do the 
same. This is the point that Salyavin was trying to make about the Oh I'm 
being abused by trolls whiners. They never really *contribute* anything to 
FFL. One gets the very real feeling that they don't actually have anything in 
their lives that they DO enjoy, because if they do, they *never* mention it on 
Fairfield. Life.

 Things are pretty bad when you can't even afford $8.95 a month for a Netflix

 Like many streaming services these days Netflix uses adaptive streaming and 
I don't know of any apps that can capture those since each segment is 
encrypted.  Most likely the torrents are screen captures which means they are a 
2nd generation and inferior to just watching it on Netflix.  Maybe it's a

  Supposedly at the time the war lords in the middle east

Muhammad put together this movement to quell the war lords and end the
worship of multiple deities (each warlord with their own). 

Of course now we have the war lords of the USA, Israel, ISIS, etc.
stirring up things there.  The first two worship money and the third is

read it twice) the impression left would be that Muhammad was extremely
intolerant of other beliefs. A classical liberal he most certainly was
not.
    
   Apologists for Islam point out that at the time Muhammad was
engaged in open warfare between his own followers and others, like
Jews, Christians and pagans, so picking up on those passages which
reveal his closed mind is like criticizing anti-German propaganda
during the Second World War. There's something to be said for that but
the sheer relentlessness of his constant talk of unbelievers roasting
in Hell does suggest someone with issues.
    
   There is a strange, incantatory poetry about some passages and
I've little doubt that Muhammad did have a genuine spiritual experience
(Allah is Nearer to Man than his Jugular Vein) and he did wish to see
a united community at peace. But it's a dangerous book.

  Harris looks to eastern religion — Buddhism, and more
specifically, the mediation practice of mindfulness — as a way of
finding a sense of otherness, outside of rational-conscious experience.

  

  In this view, he explains, consciousness itself is identical
to the very thing one might otherwise mistake for God.

  

 The main problem, Harris believes, is that the issue is far
greater than simply containing radical ideas from a handful of Muslim
extremists.

  

 “If you go and read the Koran, sit back, afterwards, then
honestly ask yourself: what would Muhammad want?” says Harris.

  

 “You can call this idea Islamism, Muslim extremism, Islamic
terrorism, but the main point is this: it’s Islamic to the core.  We
[in the West] are not at war with generic extremism. We are at war with
a death cult that is animated by a 7th-century approach to Islam.”

be easier to scan through things if Richard was not on the site. Because
Rick does not post much, and does not actively moderate the site
content, what rule is he breaking? Content by others is not moderated,
the guidelines specify self-moderation because Rick choose the hands-off
option. Is 'darn' allowed bit not 'damn'? Seems like there is a certain
flexibility.   
 Generally I observe people want content that they disagree with
to be moderated, so which one is right in a disagreement over this? You
do not break a rule because another does. I am not confused. I just do
not care what you think about this particular subject. Moderating may
require having some personal issues with what people say. If the
guidelines were followed slavishly and literally, FFL would be as boring
as The Peak usually is. If I were moderating this site, I would only
eliminate one poster in the current group.
  
 Suppose I was moderating this site, and I made a rule that you
had prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God existed before you were
allowed to use the word or even the concept and related words on this
site (you could publish a scientific paper in Science or Nature, that
was accepted by scientists and replicated, that would work). You could

According to the Fairfield Life home page, it says specifically in the

content or not is left to the group administrator, and this is a choice
Rick has made according to the way Yahoo set up the site. So Alex's job
description here does not include moderating the content of the messages
either. Yahoo made the guidelines and it is their responsibility if
there is a responsibility here, since they also made the option to not
moderate content available to the group administrator. The question to

directed to the wrong people. Yahoo in fact might have far less leeway
in enforcing guidelines after the recent supreme court decision

 You have obviously not looked at some
of the other so-called 'spiritual' groups on Yahoo and other places

spam. Quite a lot simply die from lack of interest. Quite a lot of them
hide messages from non-members so you cannot see what it is really about

   I have the luxury of having a whole weekend off with no work I have to do, 
so I admit to having binge-watched this series (Sense8) a bit. I did this 
even though as Michael said the Wachowskis have only made one good move, a few 
mediocre movies, and a few really, really awful movies. And I must say that my 
hopefulness and willingness to give them a break have paid off -- I'm now on 
episode 6 of Sense8 and I've quite enjoyed the ride so far. 
 
 
 
 Part of it, as you suggest, is the group mind thing. I find that this 
concept is handled pretty well in the series, especially at the beginning when 
these 8 people from all over the world who suddenly find themselves mind-linked 
are spending most of their time saying WTF???! and wondering what is going 
on. I find the travelogue nature of the show -- literally bouncing from 
Chicago to London to Nairobi to Seoul to Mexico City to Mumbai to San Francisco 
to Berlin -- fascinating, and enjoy the way the various directors have 
presented the visuals of these different places. That's another thing -- there 
really are various directors, and not just the Wachowskis. Tom Tykwer (Run 
Lola Run, Perfume: Story of a Murderer) directed the most recent episode I 
watched. As for the mystery of how I find the movies and TV shows I recommend, 
I have to shrug my shoulders like Johnny Depp and say, Pirate! Really. You 
have to remember that I don't have to actually pay for *any* of these things I 
watch. I *do* still buy DVD sets for great films or series I enjoy if I want to 
see the extras or the making of specials, and I still go out to the cinema 
if it's a film that I feel really has to be seen up on the big screen (like the 
recent Mad Max: Fury Road), but mainly I get my leads just from my own

down a list of the new movies and TV shows available on my torrent feed, and 
when I encounter one I don't know, I just look it up quickly on IMDB and if it 
sounds interesting either because of the cast or the director of whatever, I'll 
just download it and give it a shot. I live in a pirate-friendly country, and 
so literally have nothing to lose but a little time if I make a bad intuitive

read other people's reviews, either of TV or movies. I *write* such reviews 
under a number of different names ! for a number of different publications, and 
so to keep from being influenced by other critics' words, I don't read them.

/First of all, there's no TMO - if there was we would have a world-wide
org to manage the movement.

Second, nobody should depend on an org to make them enlightenment in 1 or
2, pr even 5-7 years.

As far as TMO status claims, that should be easy to check. There is only
one infromant on FFL that, so far, has been able to prove that he or she
ever initied anyone into TM. Go figure./

I still get weekly notifications of group Meditations and seasonal
celebrations from the local center. However, because I find the
*organization* so FUBAR, for my own peace of mind, I choose to keep
my distance from it, otherwise I would get kicked out. Quite frankly,
I find the TMO to be the antithesis of what it claims TM does for the
individual. It's not efficient, creative or compassionate. That is a
façade. I've found TM leaders to be spiritual bullies and power
trippers. Oh Maharishi wouldn't want that (I know because I'm in
perfect tune with his thinking). I find them lazy(oh Nature will
organize that) and their fragile little egos get offended easily if
you offer constructive criticism or a better idea (oh, you're just
being negative). Don't rain on my parade attitude. I Like TM and
think of the results in longer terms and I love Maharishi, although I
realized he is just a man with human faults and not the God I once
seemed to worship as. As for the TMO, I find it to be an
embarrassment. I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me
was telling me I had to give the TMO another $2,000.00 to keep
teaching, assuming I wanted to. I will not be black-mailed.

  I was never re-certified. I hadn't taught since the mid seventies
and had no plans to resume teaching and I'd be damned if I was going
to give them $2,000.00 to maintain credentials I had no intentions of
using, at least for the time being.  I looked at it as blackmail.
Their services are no longer needed by me as well. FFL 413630


  BTW, Bruce Beal, who was the Houston Center manager at one time,
demanded that I make a monthly contribution to the center from my Job
at UPS. He kept me from getting the Sidhis for years because I
wouldn't supplement his income from mine! Others gave contributions
to build an PK clinic and were to receive PK discounts. The clinic
was never built and money never returned. They were thieves as well.

I do not think anyone should molest children. I do not think that
children should be molested. It is a problem in this world and one
that needs to be discussed. You just do not seem to grasp the
difference between fiction and non-fiction in regard to the
relationship of thoughts and speech to the world, and of thoughts and
speech to action or non-action.

  I think morality is a useless concept because usually it is based on
a superstitious world-view, but that ethics is something we need to
formulate to maximise happiness and well-being, though I think of the
word in a different sense than typical, not related to the concepts
of 'right' and 'wrong' which vary with geography and cultural groups,
but as something that might have a stronger more solid basis,
scientific even, though that might be a stretch. As the experience of
being takes over, the inner core of a person rots away because it is
not real and is replaced with a 'core' that is not localised, not
inner, not outer. So yes, I have rotted to the core.

Re: [FairfieldLife] ~~~ Case-Studies, about TMO friendship ~~~~~~~~~~~

 I'm just saying that the TMO is just an acronym made up by some informants 
to make themselves look like big shots, posing as someone who was once an 
insider in Maharishi's bedroom. It's a fantasy.

 In reality, the movement is splintered into dozens of factions all over the

door. There is probably only two people that got up real close to MMY - Jemima

 There are five real movement insiders posting here that live a mile from the

these days. Go figure.

 First of all, there's no TMO - if there was we would have a world-wide org 
to manage the movement.
 
 Second, nobody should depend on an org to make them enlightenment in 1 or 2, 
pr even 5-7 years.
 
 As far as TMO status claims, that should be easy to check. There is only one 
infromant on FFL that, so far, has been able to prove that he or she ever 
initied anyone into TM. Go figure.

 Trolling isn't illegal, but permitting it degrades the quality of discussion,

 While I consider Richard a troll, I do not consider Barry, you or Jim a troll.
 

 Plus which, as Jim has gone on to point out to you, the group setting not 
moderated refers to approving or disapproving messages before they're posted. 
There is indeed moderation after the fact on FFL in certain very specific 
situations, as Alex noted (he left out breach of privacy, e.g., outing the real 
name of a person who wishes to remain anonymous). It's a question of *how much* 
moderation takes place and on what basis.
 

 That is correct.
 

 This group lost a significant segment of its regular participants due to 
unrestrained malicious trolling. They represented a general perspective of 
which the group is now largely deprived. There's a real sense in which a group 
does not qualify as a free speech zone if those members taking one side of an 
argument are treated so badly by the other side that they no longer want to 
participate.
 

 Yes people left over what I would consider a stupid point. Remember this group 
deals with transcendental meditation and those practising this technique are 
supposed to develop certain qualities such as integration, harmony, 
discrimination, purposefulness, precision, order, intelligence, infallibility, 
and other progressive characteristics, so it seems purposeful to test those 
qualities in people in the group to see if those qualities are really present. 
About half the people here no longer practise it or practise something else. 
 

 So, according to the advertisements, those not practising TM any more perhaps 
should show less of those qualities. This does not seem to be the case however. 
The main thing missing is invincibility. Those who leave lack invincibility, 
they have not developed a way to stand their ground. You stood your ground, 
Barry stood his ground. A lot of the others folded in this environment. It is 
not as if the weapons here are guns and knives against which invincibility 
tends not to be very effective. There are really sharp disagreements as to what 
is and is not real in spirituality. I think it all comes down to criteria for 
what is considered evidence as to what is real, there are fundamental 
disagreements about that.
 

 You were the lynch pin of the the group you refer to as the 'general 
perspective' which was typically more tolerant of religious ideas and woo, even 
though you were actually more critical of many of these ideas than the people 
who tended to gather around you. When you left, they lost their spokesperson, 
they were not as aggressive as you and generally less capable of fashioning an 
argument for response. They rode your coattails, but that is not something you 
can do if you want to be invincible and want to stand up for a point.
 

 Another thing that occurs to me is there is a religion non-religion divide 
here which breaks down into considerations of whether spirituality is theistic 
or non-theistic. For example my spiritual inclinations have always been 
non-theistic. Historically on this planet, divisions between theists and the 
division between theism and atheism have resulted in some of the worst cases of 
human behaviour on the planet.

 I don't see there is much distinction between a distinction and a 'technical

partially depends on whether you like the content or not. Share liked Richard's 
content, while I think he is a troll. Would be easier to scan through things if 
Richard was not on the site. Because Rick does not post much, and does not 
actively moderate the site content, what rule is he breaking? Content by others 
is not moderated, the guidelines specify self-moderation because Rick choose 
the hands-off option. Is 'darn' allowed bit not 'damn'? Seems like there is a 
certain flexibility.  

 Generally I observe people want content that they disagree with to be 
moderated, so which one is right in a disagreement over this? You do not break 
a rule because another does. I am not confused. I just do not care what you 
think about this particular subject. Moderating may require having some 
personal issues with what people say. If the guidelines were followed slavishly 
and literally, FFL would be as boring as The Peak usually is. If I were 
moderating this site, I would only eliminate one poster in the current group.
 

 Suppose I was moderating this site, and I made a rule that you had prove 
beyond a reasonable doubt that God existed before you were allowed to use the 
word or even the concept and related words on this site (you could publish a 
scientific paper in Science or Nature, that was accepted by scientists and 
replicated, that would work). You could talk about spirituality, but you could 
not use the word, say, 'divine' and others, otherwise you would be eliminated. 
What would your reaction be?

 Rick enables trolls, and that is definitely against the guidelines here. I

 So, it's all about Richard. 
---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend@... wrote :

 You've made a strawman argument, Xeno. Jim's point, which you have not 
addressed, was explicit:
 

 The [Yahoo] guidelines are not arbitrary. They are put in place to foster 
discussion, about anything. If you and Rick decide hands off, there is no 
unambiguous solution to trolling on this forum.
 

 This isn't about Yahoo enforcing its guidelines, much less about the recent 
Supreme Court case (which wasn't actually about free speech), or any legal 
issue, for that matter. Nor is it about what may happen on other groups.
 

 Trolling isn't illegal, but permitting it degrades the quality of discussion, 
whether it's by Richard's flooding the forum with idiotic prattle or Barry 
pushing buttons specifically to incite angry reactions.
 

 So, why can't I post idiotic prattle? It's not fair. LoL!

 

 Plus which, as Jim has gone on to point out to you, the group setting not 
moderated refers to approving or disapproving messages before they're posted. 
There is indeed moderation after the fact on FFL in certain very specific 
situations, as Alex noted (he left out breach of privacy, e.g., outing the real 
name of a person who wishes to remain anonymous). It's a question of *how much* 
moderation takes place and on what basis.
 

 This group lost a significant segment of its regular participants due to 
unrestrained malicious trolling. They represented a general perspective of 
which the group is now largely deprived. There's a real sense in which a group 
does not qualify as a free speech zone if those members taking one side of an 
argument are treated so badly by the other side that they no longer want to 
participate.
 

 Now this is ironic - I've probably been treated as badly as anyone subscribing 
to this group. 

 

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

 It is for Yahoo to enforce guidelines, not Rick. According to the Fairfield 
Life home page, it says specifically in the group settings that 'messages are 
not moderated'. The choice to moderate content or not is left to the group 
administrator, and this is a choice Rick has made according to the way Yahoo 
set up the site. So Alex's job description here does not include moderating the 
content of the messages either. Yahoo made the guidelines and it is their 
responsibility if there is a responsibility here, since they also made the 
option to not moderate content available to the group administrator. The 
question to ask is why are you still here complaining about it? Your complaints 
are directed to the wrong people. Yahoo in fact might have far less leeway in 
enforcing guidelines after the recent supreme court decision concerning on-line 
free speech. You have your own content-moderated group by choice, so what is 
drawing you to a place you clearly SAY you do not like? This is insane 
behaviour. 

 You have obviously not looked at some of the other so-called 'spiritual' 
groups on Yahoo and other places where similar ideological battles take place. 
Some get overrun with spam. Quite a lot simply die from lack of interest. Quite 
a lot of them hide messages from non-members so you cannot see what it is 
really about without joining. Some are moderated by their administrators, and 
some are not.

 Alex, before you and Rick sprain your wrists patting yourselves on the back 
for creating a free speech zone, you must be aware that, contrary to the 
thousands of forums on Yahoo Groups, yours is not in compliance with the

 The guidelines are not arbitrary. They are put in place to foster discussion, 
about anything. If you and Rick decide hands off, there is no unambiguous 
solution to trolling on this forum. That is why the majority of the forums, 
mine included, adhere to the guidelines set out by Yahoo Groups. Rick's and 
yours don't, and that is no occasion for congratulations.

 Thanks. From the very start, FFL was intended as a free speech zone. When Rick 
asked me to be a moderator, the job description was to handle subscriptions, 
keep out spammers, and make sure there's no porn or other content that would 
get FFL categorized as an adult group, where it would be much less visible on 
the 'net. For a time, I was also tasked with enforcing the moronic posting 
limit.
 
WRT colloidal silver, I would only add that it should not be taken on a regular

 I'm on episode 2. I'm amazed that I'm giving it a chance, because their latest 
flick before this (Jupiter Ascending) has to be one of the biggest piles of 
shit I have ever had to wade through. 

 

 So far, this one's kept my attention. And I'll probably keep watching, if for 
no other reason to see the glimpses the Wachowskis are giving mainstream 
America of alternative lifestyles, and to follow the soap opera of how 
mainstream America reacts to that.

I'm guessing it's about 100 to 1 in words for what you guys have
written about the-peak, compared to what the_peak (folks) have
written about you.

  what, I'm afraid you're missing, is that Barry is, what is defined
as, a classic troll.


  that is to say, there are some lines that he respects, but overall,
his agenda is to push people's buttons, and misrepresent people's
opinions in a way to get a reaction.

 /The term skin-boy was coined by Ned Wyn (TTC India 1968) in his book
about growing up crazy in Hollywood and the Majorrca, Spain TTC. In his
book Ned describes how he became of the first MMY skin-boys - to act as the
administrative assistant to a yogi. Apparently Ned carried the Maharishi's
skin for about five minutes in 1968. So, that would probably make Charlesn
Lutes the original MMY skin-boy. Go figure./

 It's probably just my dirty mind but the term skin boy has always

 -- The Supreme Court struck another blow for free speech Monday, ruling that 
threats made over the Internet are protected unless they are malevolent or 
reckless.
 The decision was a temporary victory for Anthony Elonis and those like him 
whose threatening words on Facebook or similar social media sites may instill 
fear in their targets. But it was a defeat for the government and groups that 
defend victims of domestic violence.
 
 Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision for a near-unanimous court. 
Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, and Justice Samuel Alito dissented in part.

 Apparently the bikers in Waco at Twin Peaks didn't even have a chance to raise 
their hands.  It was all a setup by the Waco police, just like the Davidian 
massacre in Waco years ago. Go figure. 

 The amount of freedom in a state can be measured by how free an individual is, 
who just wants to get high, ride his bike, and chase some tail at a local 
dinner.  

 I predict that at least thirteen police officers will be charged with murder 
and fired. What were they thinking? Apparently no shots were fired by any of 
the bikers. Most of the attending bikers didn't even have a police record. One 
biker was a married and employed plumber.
 

 They just wanted to go for a bike ride and chow-down on some burghers and 
fries and ogle some twin peaks. It's not complicated.

 How ironic - the death toll from the “Twin Peaks” shootout was greater than 
the total number of homicides Waco police investigated in all of 2014 – And all 
of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police. The cops fired thousands of 
rounds into the bikers, killing nine. Only 3 or 4 of the bikers were armed with 
handguns.
 
 This can be summed up in one word: Waco.
 
 Who shot at whom first; who did or did not pull the trigger; and what might 
have spurred the 14 police officers to fire “thousands of rounds” at a group of 
3 to 5 potentially armed bikers when the downrange backdrop was a patio filled 
with hundreds of unarmed bikers is not yet known...
