Nonono, wrong. Those seven posts were "proof" only that you haven't stopped attacking yet, as is this one. Nor have you stopped being dishonest; you're going to be criticized for dishonesty no matter what you're talking about. Remember that the biggest complaint against you is about *you* as a particular individual, not about your criticisms of TM or anything else. Naturally, you resist acknowledging this. But you analyzed the dynamic very well not long ago: "This is the 'They aren't really criticizing me, they are criticizing my beliefs...what they really hate is what I believe in' argument that True Believers trot out over and over. Please note that this is a typical and well- documented cult tactic used to make a criticism of a *particular individual* seem as if it's 'really' a criticism of the group the cultist is attempting to appeal to and gain sympathy from." You were demonizing "True Believers," but in fact it applies to you more than it does to them. Even if you never made another post about TM/the TMO/MMY/ TMers and instead posted on other topics, but used the same "style" and obnoxious tactics, you'd still come in for criticism, which would demonstrate that the criticism is about *you personally*, not your TM-related beliefs. And I'll make the point once again that if you don't read the posts of the people you're targeting, you are obviously not in a position to claim they lack creativity or have nothing else to say.
