Khazana: Just to make an obvious point, "signing in" with a new name and starting fresh, after having spent some time here, is mostly a waste of time. In all the cases I've seen here, one's writing style "outs" oneself before much time has passed, as well as one's biases, opinions, knowledge base, etc. It is possible of course, but would take a skilled, concerted and constant effort on the part of the poster to maintain his/her new identity over time if a regular participant. Particularly if one wrote anything "personal." An example of late is Dr. Dumbass. I would never have known he had a prior name here, but apparently he did and some figured it out. I have a situation currently where my FFL name has been discovered by a family member. I am considering closing Emily down as I am not interested in explaining why I'm here or what I write and I don't like to be tracked, particularly by anyone in my family, who could use the information I've written here to create harm for me. I am weighing this against an idea that perhaps I just say "yeah, and so fuckin' what." Also, if I am being tracked, if I were to change names at this point, it would be pretty easy to figure out who I am in my next incarnation, just like with you. Also, IMO, most people come to conclusions about a poster for a reason. I almost always look for the individual merit in a post, subjectively or objectively. It isn't a "for or against" scenario; it isn't a "with us or against us" mentality. It's so demeaning to dismiss people by shuffling them into "camps" and defining their reality for them. ________________________________ From: khazana108 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 6:44 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: A Spiritual Question For Wednesday --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater <no_reply@...> wrote: > > Trying to recruit me, are you, Zebra Boy?

Due to the hints of the Willytexter, I stumbled upon this dialoque between her and Barry (Shoki) and quite honestly, you you tell any difference between the tone now and then? This is 1995, but you could post this same post today on FFL with just changing the names a little bit - to suit the present environment, and nobody would really notice the difference. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.meditation.transcendental/browse_thread/thread/35b5ad0cd70ee2d8/6e533bbfc2e53e3d http://tinyurl.com/9r8985j > OK, well maybe we don't see it here but I do believe it is in there somewhere > - that nurturing, softer side. You may well be the recipient of this softer, nurturing side at times Ann, but to be the recipient of her other side, may I suggest a little experiment? Just sign in with a different yahoo ID, and profess to be at one with Barry or the other crew. Profess to be critical of TM and/ or Robin, and see what happens. I promise you, this is the only way to find out.
