I am curious why you are trying to include me in the group of people you named and portray me as "clinging desperately" to the idea that MMY had a sex life. I defy you to find even one post on this forum in which I said that I knew the truth about this issue for sure. I defy you to find one in which I even said that I cared about it very much. Me, I don't know. I find the statements in the Sexy Sadie files 1) completely credible, and 2) completely in line with my perceptions of the man during my occasional "face time" with him. He had ZERO ability to self-examine and analyze his own actions in terms of approp- riateness, and he spent a lifetime hiding things from his students and the world at large. So I am *very* open to the *possibility* that he had a secret sex life. But I don't know. Or much care. The man was a proven liar in so many other ways that the question of whether he was one with regard to being a lifelong celibate doesn't really interest me much. But I do find it interesting, since YOU were one of the first on this forum to leap into the fray and "pounce" on someone's suggestion that the stories about him having sex were a hoax (a sug- gestion that itself turned out to be a good- natured hoax), I'm wondering why you're attempt- ing now to paint US as the ones who are "attached" to the issue. My only contribution to the thread was to point out YOUR "piling on" to the hoax post and attempting to use it to demonize those who believe the Maharishi sex stories NOT to be a hoax. And, interestingly, rather than address that, you've renewed your attempts to portray anyone who finds these stories credible as having something wrong with them. Me, I don't care whether he was a celibate or whether he fucked the entire cheerleading squads of both teams on the field during halftime at the Super Bowl. Compared to some of the *other* things he did that were patently illegal or not in the interest of his students, that would be "small potatoes" to me. But it seems that you care *very much* about whether these rumors are true. Every time they come up, you go out of your was to demonize those who feel they have some credibility. Why do you think that is?
