 As a last favor before starting on my own cut-
 down-on-my-number-of-posts quest, I feel that 
 I should point out to concerned FFL members that, 
 as predicted, Judy doesn't feel that the fact 
 that she and her sockpuppet make 25% of all posts 
 made here constitutes dominating the forum.

No, sorry, that's not as you predicted.

What you predicted was that we *wouldn't see
anything wrong* with dominating the forum.

If we don't believe we're dominating the forum,
obviously you can't say we don't see anything
wrong with it.

 This means that she feels that the two of them 
 still have a lot of *slack* before they ever get 
 to what they consider dominating the forum.
 
 On alt.meditation.transcendental it took Judy 
 ten years to make 17,337 posts. On Fairfield
 Life, in only a little more than a year, she 
 has made 7,074 posts.

(For the record, most of my posts to alt.m.t were
*much* longer than those I leave on FFL.)

 On a.m.t. it took Sparaig the same ten years or
 so to make a total of 6,720 posts there. In a 
 little more than a year on FFL, he has made 
 8,561 posts.
 
 I'd be worried if I were you...

Translation: Barry's worried because so many of
those posts involve Lawson and me calling Barry
on his crap.

snipped by Barry; restored

  One way to ensure I didn't post as much would
  be for Barry to stop attacking and lying about
  me and other TMers here. Come to think of it,
  that would cut Barry's own posts down by at
  least half.
  
  Actually a lot more than half, if today and
  yesterday are any guide. Of the 17 [now 18]
  posts Barry made today and yesterday, only
  five were *not* attacks on Lawson and/or me
  (and only *one* of those five was not an attack
  on anybody).

More than *two-thirds* of Barry's posts today and
yesterday were attacks on Lawson and/or me.

One thing's for sure: That proportion is only going
to go up if Barry reduces the number of posts he 
makes.  It should mean less crap for me and Lawson
to call him on, though.

In general, the percentage of Barry's posts overall
that are attacks on *somebody* is very, very high,
much higher than mine and certainly a *lot* higher
than Lawson's.

I think he's freaked because he got slapped down so
badly on his assertion about TM teachers being
taught to lie.  He can't blame that on us; he's just
been left with his face dripping egg.  So he has to
do *something* to try to recoup.

Worse, he's just promised to cut way down on the
number of *his* posts, thinking that would make
us look bad; but now the consequences of that
rash vow are beginning to sink in.

Things aren't looking so good to Barry right
about now.

Lawson, discovering these statistics took
me four Yahoo searches, two Google searches, 
and a grand total of two minutes.

One would think that a sane person, informed
that his rate of compulsive posting had gone
up that much in the last year, would be shocked 
or somewhat taken aback or ashamed or *something*. 
But all that you can think of is that the person 
who pointed this compulsion out -- hoping
to WAKE YOU THE FUCK UP -- was bored.

I had more hope for you than for Judy. We
both know that she is incapable of controlling
her own compulsions to post, and that she'll
never do so without being forced, but I was 
hoping you weren't that far gone yet.  I guess 
I stand corrected...

Does the term projection mean anything to you?
