Never have been, man. Really. I've just been trying to point out that you've essentially trotted out the exact same story maybe a dozen times here so far, with never any variation, and then 1) been seemingly offended that people don't immediately just say, "Oh, I see now...how could I possibly have been so deluded as to doubt Maharishi," and 2) when this doesn't happen, you just keep retelling the story as if, if you repeat it often enough, they *will* say this. As several have pointed out, *no* anecdotal story about Maharishi is going to change *anyone's* mind here. Folks here, as far as I can tell, have been around the block a few times, and pretty much know what they think about things. You're *not* going to change their minds. And you're *certainly* not going to do it by repeating the same story you've now told hundreds of times (between here and a.m.t.), as if it were some kind of magic mantra that, at one point, is going to "cure" everyone of their doubts. I've told you before, I *like* you, man. But it's like you have a personal attachment to this story. It *means* something to you, and you keep telling it and retelling it as if it should *mean* exactly the same thing to everyone in the world. It doesn't. It never will. I suspect people here *get* it that you like Maharishi and have a great deal of gratitude for all that TM has done for you. Well, duh...so do *most* of the people here. They feel that gratitude *simultaneously* to feeling doubts about him or confusion about some of the silly-ass things he's done and continues to do. And as far as I can tell, none of these people is trying to "convert" you to their way of thinking. On the other hand, by harping on this anecdotal story, over and over and over and over and over and over and... well, you get the picture, it very much seems that you're trying to convert *them*. Nobody like a proselytute, man, no matter what they're proselytizing. Get it yet?
