Hi Dan (or whoever you are), Even skimming FFL in Message View, it was impossible for me to not notice that its posters are being told by one of the group's professional cult apologists that the person who made the recent inflammatory, profane, and above all stupid posts on August 4th was not you. The cult apologist claims that your account had "obviously" been hacked, and that it's not really you.
Assuming that this is true, and that you didn't just suffer from a bout of Posting While Intoxicated (the conclusion that most non-cult apologists would come to), I'm curious as to how you, as a hacker, decided to do what you did. Would you mind answering a few questions about it? 1. How did you, after having somehow hacked into danfriedman2002's Yahoo account, decide where you were going to post the rants intended to make him look bad? How did you happen to settle on Fairfield Life? 2. How did you manage to emulate Real Dan's consistent bad spelling? 3. How did you decide which other posters to reply to with a stream of invective? I mean, you could have picked *anyone*, at random. What made you decide to lash out at (coincidentally) two of the same people that The Real Dan had lashed out at in his Real Posts, for the alleged crime of being "anti-guru?" Was that just coincidence, or did you plan that in your attempts to make Real Dan look bad? 4. Once you *had* settled on these two people to spray with invective, how did you know what their common derogatory nicknames were on this forum? I mean, you called vajradhatu108 "Vag," a derog- atory and insulting permutation of his posting ID that is commonly used here by people with a grudge against him. Similarly, having picked him at random for your drive-by, you called turquoiseb "turq" and "turqy," again almost as if you were very familiar with how *he* was addressed on this forum by his detractors. How did you know all this? 5. Finally, since I'm pretty sure in this post that I'm addressing Real Dan, the person who made all of the posts on August 4th, are you feeling better and a little more sane now? I hope so. 6. What was it (other than being drunk or stoned or both) that "set you off" and caused you to embarrass yourself like this? Did your regular practice of TM cause (as one person suggested) "some roughness of awareness?" Does this happen to you often? 7. Did you actually have to PAY the professional cult apologist to claim that it wasn't really you making these posts, or is that something that professional cult apologists just DO when a member of their cult embarrasses it? Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions, and I really hope you come back to visit us soon, and after having imbibed in the same substances that inspired you last time. As I said before, the more often that long-term TM practitioners such as yourself *demonstrate* on this forum all that TM has done for them, and what balanced and happy individuals they've become as a result, the more new people will learn TM. Jai Guru Fucking Dev, and all that...
