There are several things fascinating to me about this latest "bash Vaj" fest. The first is that people like Nabby and now emptybill are so threatened by the ideas he presents here that they feel the need to make things up and then attempt to demonize him with them. Great commercial for TM, eh? Another interesting commmercial for TM is how quickly mental midgets attached to TM like ed11 and raunchydog play "pile on" to agree to the made-up things, and join in with the demonization. Still another fascinating thing is that the person who claimed to be motivated by fairness and her self-appointed role of "Lie Exposer" will say nothing about emptybill's claims, or even ask him to substantiate them. Just imagine the hissy fit she'd be throwing if some "anti- TMer" said similar things about one of the few lingering TM defenders here. She would *at the least* ask for verification. But she will not in this case. But for me the most fascinating thing about the "bash Vaj" syndrome is how the people leading the bashing are so completely clueless about when they have been "attacked," as they claim that they have been, and that they are "responding in kind" to. Take yesterday's tempest in a pisspot. Vaj posted a quote from the Dalai Lama, *without comment*. That was followed almost immediately by ed11 reacting as if his manhood...uh...sorry, her womanhood had been threatened. Then Judy played "pile on," making up things right and left, and dealing *only* in demonization of Vaj. All because of a post in which Vaj DID NOT EVEN OFFER AN OPINION. All he did was post a quote from the Dalai Lama. And now, in the aftermath, we see Nabby and ed11 badrapping and putting down not only Vaj but the Dalai Lama and Buddhism as a whole. We see Nabby and emptybill coming up with stories that Vaj (and, according to Nabby, me as well) are being sponsored or paid by some nefarious institution or organization or competing spiritual tradition whose aim is to destroy TM. All because of a single quote from the Dalai Lama. And they call Vaj "threatened." These are people who CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE between having some of their beliefs challenged by a contradictory belief, and being personally attacked. And so when someone here posts something that *does* challenge their beliefs, they "feel" personally attacked, and attack "back." All of this was the result of a single quote by the Dalai Lama, who almost certainly did not have TM or Maharishi in mind when he originall spoke or wrote it. And yet the paranoid, feeble-minded "TM defenders" of Fairfield Life HAVE GONE CRAZY as a result of it being posted. Again, a great commercial for TM, n'est-ce pas?
