Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New FFL Rule, was where is what's his name?
I have been spending my time fiddling with the Yahoo e-mail sort rules. Previously I have only posted directly into FFL. I have not quite got it right yet, but I have got the FFL individual e-mails sorting into three separate folders FFL-fluff; FFL-maybe; and FFL-read. I have just not quite figured out how the API interprets the filters command 'SENDER contains...' As soon as I get it right, assuming it works, I will resume posting, having filtered out most of the crap e-mails. Already all of Richard's e-mails are going into the FFL-fluff folder and not appearing in the main In-box or the read folder! If a new poster shows up, it will appear in the main In-box. This seemed better to me than trying to just block certain posters, just in case something interesting shows up. It just takes time to set up all the individual sort rules. Now that I have Richard's posts out of the way, I can work on the other insubstantial posters. I would vote to have Richard removed from FFL. With the old system of 50 posts a week, Alex had to deal with over posting every week. I suppose he would mind if he had to do that, say, every three months. That is, remove someone for posting excessively for a period of a quarter of a year, or maybe longer. That would not take too much extra effort. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote : From: j_alexander_stanley@...

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New FFL Rule, was where is what's his name?
Yep, I interact with Richard as little as possible, and ignore 99.9% of his posts, even when he is the only channel ON. He posts so often, that he has lost all credibility with me. There is a balance and rhythm to any social interaction, even on-line, and his incessant posting becomes boorish and intrusive, even anti-social.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New FFL Rule, was where is what's his name?
In terms of mail filtering, using an email subscription with POP access (like Gmail) lets you use the filtering capabilities of an email client, which may be superior to whatever Yahoo Mail has to offer. As for me, I don't have the time or patience to deal with FFL management beyond what I'm doing right now. My beloved has been in poor health for the past year, and my days are filled with her pain and discomfort. She is so dependent on me being in Fairfield that I haven't traveled east to see my 87 year old father since last September, and I don't know if I'll ever see him again. And, now, my own low-grade infection, that had been kept well in check for 11+ years, is staging a major comeback. There is simply enough stress and unpleasantness in my own life that I refuse to tackle the inane bullshit that goes on here. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, anartax...@yahoo.com wrote : I have been spending my time fiddling with the Yahoo e-mail sort rules.

Sorry to hear all of this, Alex, and as I've said before, thanks for handling the thankless task of trying to manage this place as well as you always have. I know that there is not much you can do when faced with someone as psychotic and as unresponsive as Richard Williams. For all we know, if you were to revoke his posting rights, he's so insane that he might do what Ravi and others have done and just try to create new IDs so he could continue to harass the people here, and you as moderator. Dealing with people like this is a lose-lose situation, which is why I and some others who have spoken up lately have chosen not to interact with him at all, ever again. I guess the thing that bothers me the most, still having a tiny bit of affection for my days involved with TM, is how a discussion group about it could devolve into the inane bullshit that you so accurately describe it having become. What HAPPENED to all of these once-intelligent people to make them so petty, so vindictive, so irrational, and so attached to their beliefs or to the people who sold them those beliefs? If FFL continues as it is, many people will probably bail, because after all there is just so much inane bullshit one can take in a lifetime. The only good thing I see coming out of that is that any prospective newbies wondering whether TM might be right for them and coming to Fairfield Life to find out will probably run away screaming within a few days, and thus never fall prey to all the cult madness. In that sense, True Believers like Nabby and JR and Share and True Psychopaths like Richard Williams may actually be performing a service.

Richard, I'm sure Xeno puts my posts in Fluff folder. Fine with me. I continue to enjoy some of his. Since my 3D life is busier, I do delete more posts than before, mainly based on topic, but sometimes based on poster. And I guess everybody has someone they'd like to boot off the island. But I hope you don't get booted. Of course I don't read all your posts but I enjoy it when you and empty bring out more knowledge from each other. Also, some of your comments make me laugh out loud. And I'm amazed at and grateful for how you sussed out my feelings in the recent kafufel.

I will try to reach out to you. Thanks for responding. It was supposed to be a joke. #1) The golden rule is not, those with the gold, make the rules. It is something other than that. On this forum it is Rick that makes the rules. We are all guests on his forum. Anyone is free to start there own. #2) The jury is out as to whether Zen Master Rama, aka Frederick Lenz was able to levitate. Let's wait for more data to come in before we comment on that. The guy is dead, but only his students are making the claim that he could levitate. I don't recall Rama himself ever making that claim. So, I guess the burden of proof is on the students making the claims. #3) Postings made two to three years ago, should not be considered as current. Chat room protocol has generally set a six month, four day limit as to whether a posting is current or not. On most discussion groups, everything that has ever been posted is fair game. Judy was a master at searching out old comments in order to make her point. Quite often it's not what people are saying but what they once said that is important to the conversation. It is a common tactic to point out consistencies in any debate. Sadly, the Yahoo Groups search function seems to be on the blink, so we will have to use the other FFL archive to search out older messages. Of course, this isn't a chat room as Judy pointed out - it's supposed to be a discussion. But, sometimes it does act like a chat room when most of the messages begin and end on one single line and all begin with RE:. #4) Posting a person's name when they have requested anonymity is not considered good taste, and is really violation of the rules of the forum. It's not a good idea to post using your name and email address in the header if you want to be anonymous, Steve. That's my point. #4a) Using a person's name in such a way that you are saying you are not going use such and such''s name, because such and such has requested that you not do it, does not get around point #4. Maybe she didn't realize that her name was in the header of all her messages, including the one where she requested us not to reveal it. Go figure. But, in fact it was Judy and Susan that first revealed her her first name. If what's-her-name had not made a big deal out of it, probably nobody would have even noticed it. Now it's gone into over 200 replies, WITH HER NAME FOR ALL TO SEE! Not to mention that Susan's original post included the TurquoiseB's real name in the subject line. Go figure. It's not complicated. Now, we all need someone to talk to. Some more than others. Please note the daily post totals. (-: It's simple: /Be familiar with the group you are posting to before you post!

Yep, I interact with Richard as little as possible, and ignore 99.9% of his posts, even when he is the only channel ON. He posts so often, that he has lost all credibility with me. There is a balance and rhythm to any social interaction, even on-line, and his incessant posting becomes boorish and intrusive, even anti-social. He is like a dog incessantly barking, on the other side of the fence - No point in judging him, can't reason with him, he likes to bark, so I simply tune him out.

I know that there is not much you can do when faced with someone as psychotic and as unresponsive as Richard Williams. For all we know, if you were to revoke his posting rights, he's so insane that he might do what Ravi and others have done and just try to create new IDs so he could continue to harass the people here, and you as moderator. Dealing with people like this is a lose-lose situation, which is why I and some others who have spoken up lately have chosen not to interact with him at all, ever again. I guess the thing that bothers me the most, still having a tiny bit of affection for my days involved with TM, is how a discussion group about it could devolve into the inane bullshit that you so accurately describe it having become. What HAPPENED to all of these once-intelligent people to make them so petty, so vindictive, so irrational, and so attached to their beliefs or to the people who sold them those beliefs? If FFL continues as it is, many people will probably bail, because after all there is just so much inane bullshit one can take in a lifetime. The only good thing I see coming out of that is that any prospective newbies wondering whether TM might be right for them and coming to Fairfield Life to find out will probably run away screaming within a few days, and thus never fall prey to all the cult madness. In that sense, True Believers like Nabby and JR and Share and True Psychopaths like Richard Williams may actually be performing a service. OH GOD - WILL IT EVER END? It's all about what's-his'name. P.S. Get a clue, Barry - Alex doesn't want to discuss your petty ego problem with a chat room discussion group.

The guy is dead, but only his students are making the claim that he could levitate. I don't recall Rama himself ever making that claim. So, I guess the burden of proof is on the students making the claims. #3) Postings made two to three years ago, should not be considered as current. Chat room protocol has generally set a six month, four day limit as to whether a posting is current or not. On most discussion groups, everything that has ever been posted is fair game. Judy was a master at searching out old comments in order to make her point. Quite often it's not what people are saying but what they once said that is important to the conversation. It is a common tactic to point out consistencies in any debate. Sadly, the Yahoo Groups search function seems to be on the blink, so we will have to use the other FFL archive to search out older messages.

Since my 3D life is busier, I do delete more posts than before, mainly based on topic, but sometimes based on poster. Everyone is really in one big folder called /Yahoo Groups/, so that pretty much says it all. But, I think it takes a an email client in order to make folders. It's easy to make a folder in Thunderbird or in Google Mail. I don't know why Barry is having to do so much fiddling with his mail. He's been a professional respondent since at least 1995 before Windows. My folders are real simple - trash, junk, and spam. But, the only folder really I need is one for FFL and I only read the contents when I have time and want to have some fun with. In Thunderbird all you have to do is click on arrange by date and then use your up or down arrow and delete key. It's not complicated. And I guess everybody has someone they'd like to boot off the island. Not me - I love reading chit-chat and the occasional on-topic post about meditation that is transcendental. I want more postings to read, not less. But, then again, I'm an information junkie.A news group is sort of like going to a party where people with common interests gather together in small groups to chat and discuss. But, there are always a few drunks and rowdies that get in and start yelling across the room and throwing food and upsetting tables. But I hope you don't get booted. Of course I don't read all your posts but I enjoy it when you and empty bring out more knowledge from each other. Also, some of your comments make me laugh out loud. And I'm amazed at and grateful for how you sussed out my feelings in the recent kafufel. And I admit that I have different reactions at different times to your obsession with turq's Rama levitation scenario. But I'm pretty sure that my reactions have at least 50% to do with the state of my own energy field (-: Right, but I can never be booted off the internet - we have our own hosted server, website and a blog. Plus, we are on Facebook and Google+. And, as Barry pointed out, all you have to do is log in to Yahoo Groups using a different alias like Ravi did. And, there is always Google Groups: alt.meditation.transcendental; alt.yoga; alt.meditation; alt.dreams.casteneda; and alt.buddha.short.fat.guy. - which are un-moderated. We can have a rule like, 100 posts for two weeks That would give Alex an easier time to keep track. By the way, into which folder you would send Judy's posts Good question, but where would you put Barry's responses to Judy? In your case, Jedi, it would be easy to put your messages in a folder, since you only post maybe two or three messages a week and most of them begin with RE: and end on one line. Go figure. and Share's posts. Share's posts contain relevant information, because she lives in Fairfiled and meditates in the dome every day, but you suck as an informant, Spock.

Now that I have mostly completed making filters for FFL in Yahoo Mail, I will just wait until tomorrow and see how well it sorted the messages, and what refinements I might have to make to the sort. I am not blocking any address, but this way I can see the approximate proportion of crap to content by the number of messages that go into each folder, and if anything slips by and lands in the Inbox, but the way I have it set now, nothing should stay in the Inbox unless it is a new address or I made a sorting mistake.

Good fun for a while but unsustainable for me. Dan Friedman tried to do exactly the same thing, but fortunately everyone just ignored him, so he seems to have lost interest and gone away.

Again Nappy you run true to form - avoiding the straight question - you simply sat there and thought of all the vile things you could accuse me of - again, show the posts where I accused someone on this forum of being a pedophile. I have also never used the terms shit-heel, vile scum, sick fuck and dick-head some of them are terms that have been used on FFL but not by me. Either put up the proof or shut up and go read Mein Kampf.
