On another level, all of this posturing and arguing and (essentially) "self image repair" on the blog is the perfect counterpart to what's happening on this forum. What ELSE would you call the desperate attempts on both sides of the "Who is really the stalker here?" silliness? >From his side, Robin is so clearly and heavily invested in trying to get everyone to see him the way he sees himself that I'm expecting him to hire a cyberhelicopter and spam FFL with leaflets any day now. I see Share as only slightly less invested, and *just* as ego-involved in trying to prove that her view is "right" and that she is the "victim." The groupies on both sides...just more ego-posturing to claim that one side is "right" or "more right" than another. It all adds up to a shitload of people who feel a need to constantly (and aggressively) "defend" what they believe, and "defend" the images that they push out about themselves...almost as if they can no longer distinguish that from what they are. Almost as if. :-) TM is a minor meditation technique that most people on this planet have never heard of and never will; what the general public thinks about it Simply Doesn't Matter because TM Simply Doesn't Matter. It doesn't have a chance competing in a health care marketplace against techniques that are more reasonably priced and that don't carry the baggage that TM does. It's the same IMO with all of the egos involved in all this posturing and arguing. Almost no one on the planet other than a couple of dozen people lame enough to read this forum will ever know anything about the people themselves, or ever care to. It's a bunch of nobodies arguing with other nobodies about their supposed somebodyness. People have tried to demonize "drive bys" on this forum, as if simply stating one's opinion and moving on is a Bad Thing. I suspect it's a more highly evolved thing. You just say what you think and stay out of the shit. Let those who enjoy wallowing in shit do that.
