Actually, I got them from the alt.m.t archives (as should be obvious from the list of 10 different Usenet newsgroups to which you posted them). And I didn't post all of them, either. <snip> > You've claimed I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, > that I "lied" about something in these posts. Actually, I believe I gave you the benefit of the doubt on that. I wrote: "The 'crisis' is obviously a fantasy production of 'Honest' John's fevered brain. The question is whether he *believes* what he writes, or whether he's grown so deluded about his own power to do TM damage he doesn't realize how idiotic his concoction sounds." > Would you care to elaborate on my "lies"? > > I was sincere when I wrote the posts. But, on reflection, I > believe I was wrong about the level of danger that I thought > I saw. Well, you were certainly agitated when you wrote them, although whether that was from concern about "another Jonestown" or an inability to stop giggling, I'm not sure. Actually, you were "wrong" about quite a few specific facts, such as the bits about "hunkering down to wait out the apocalypse" in "isolated outposts in the jungle," "without contact with the outside world." Also, as noted elsewhere, the project of establishing TM centers in third world towns and cities, which is what you were referring to, was open only to married couples without children, so the panicky exhortations to track down one's kids before they were abducted to to the jungle to drink the Kool-Aid (meant literally) were, um, bullcrap. > But I'm not ashamed of the articles.

Actually, those "press releases" are hardly the only things there have been for me to "attack" you about for so many years. > It seems to me, if I thought I had something to hide, it > might have occurred to me to take them down. I couldn't be more delighted to see you say publicly that those "press releases" are still up on Trancenet and that you aren't ashamed of them. That declaration, along with what's in the releases, tells us everything we need to know about both the past and the current state of your character. <snip> > According to press reports, the guy was worth billions, > after all. Unusual for a spiritual leader. Except, of course, that the "billions" are in the custody of the TMO. He didn't do much for himself with them, did he?
