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?
