Barry, Are you having a bad day? I'm sorry. I honestly can barely focus my eyes on your vitriolic posts anymore - I scan for anything worthwhile out of habit but, I'm no longer reading your words. Sometimes individual phrases pop out, like you suggesting I "not be a pussy", but overall, I can't stomach your negative energy anymore.
I don't care where or how often the photo was posted - I find it horrific, period. I looked at it out of context and I'm glad it's deleted. It hurts to look at it. But, remember, I'm nowhere near where Xeno is staying in my "left brain" so to speak, which is how his text comes across on his reaction to the photo. Triggers? Excuse me? We are talking about one of our own species committing suicide in front of us. It's painful to see. Barry, from a distance, you must realize how angry you sound. Do you ever try read your posts with any objectivity? Go have yourself a good cry..you'll feel better and less paranoid. ________________________________ From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 9:18 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fat, old drama queens and their double standards --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > Barry, you fit your subject line well. > > Personally, I was happy that the photo got deleted...it was > horrific.

Don't be a drama queen yourself, Emily. This photo, as was pointed out in the discussion that followed its posting here, has appeared on most news sites and portals in the world in the last few days. I must have seen it on 20 different Internet sites before Nabby posted it here. If you didn't, you must be living in a world of sheltered denial. The whole *point* is WHY Nabby posted it. He didn't give a shit about the Tibetan who felt so strongly about his countrymen being killed and tortured by the Chinese that he took this desperate measure to bring it to the world's attention. The only thing he cared about was that to him it seemed to present him with an opportunity to bash Barry and Vaj and others on this forum who he perceived to be Buddhists. Nabby posting this photo is all about him still being pissed off about having to admit that he's never been able to stop his thoughts in meditation at will in his life, and will never be able to do so. He's had his panties in a twist ever since I posted my tiny troll, buried (at the time) in a larger post about other things. I honestly don't think he even considered it "bashing Buddhism" or "bashing Buddhists." He was thinking *exactly* the same way Judy does, "Heh...this photo gives me a way to 'get' Barry, and hopefully push his buttons the way he pushed mine." So don't be either a pussy (about a photo you arguably should have run into long before he posted it) or a pushover for the distractions that Judy is trying to throw your way. Nabby's post wasn't offensive because of the content (which was freely available elsewhere), or even because he used it to put down 350 million Buddhists. It was offensive because he's so fuckin' out of it that he feels it's his RIGHT to post a photo and an insinuation like the one he posted if it helps him to "get Barry." Judy feels exactly the same way. As she recently stated, she feels that his over 500 putdowns of Buddhists and Buddhism are merely "jocular," and that *they don't go far enough*. According to Judy, Vaj and I "deserve" much more bashing than this. It's not about the photo. It's about the level of vindictive craziness that feels that doing this is acceptable, or even sane. > ________________________________ > From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 7:59 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Fat, old drama queens and their double standards > > > Â > Seems to me that if Judy Stein were as "fair and balanced" > as she claims to be on this forum, she would be able to > produce at least one post (other than the recent one, which > can arguably be attributed to Curtis shaming her into making > it) in which she criticized either Nabby or Jim for their > religion-bashing. > > Nabby has made over 500 posts bashing either "Buddhists," > "Buddhism," "Tibet," "Tibetans," or the "Dalai Lama" (or, > as he prefers to spell it, the "Dolly Lama") over the > years at FFL. > > Jim Flanegin made over 200 posts bashing the same subjects. > > Surely, given her oh-so-evolved sensibilities about "fairness," > she can come up with a few posts she's made suggesting that > this might be a "little off." > > If she'd commented on even 1% of them, that would be seven > posts that she'd be able to find and repost here, wouldn't > it?
