Barry had touted FFL on alt.meditation.transcendental, where he and I had both been posting since 1995 or so. He'd been here for a couple of weeks and invited us all to come see what was going on. I took him up on it, along with several others from alt.m.t. Initially, I had intended only to lurk for awhile, pick up some movement news (there wasn't much of that on alt.m.t). Then I found, to my surprise, that Barry had been badmouthing me well before I arrived, before he'd even posted his invitation to alt.m.t. There had been a bit of a discussion about me; some of the FFLers had previously been on alt.m.t and knew who I was. I had my fans and my detractors in that discussion (more of the former than the latter, in fact, which was gratifying). Here was Barry's contribution (preceded by the post he was commenting on): ----- --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter Sutphen wrote: > Man, I love that girl! She has spunk!

She's 63, and as I hear it, her last sexual partner committed suicide by taking its own batteries out and hurling itself off the nightstand. :-) ----- Vibrator fantasies about me had been a staple of Barry's alt.m.t posts. He proceeded to proudly quote this one back on alt.m.t. I didn't comment on it on FFL at the time. How I was gradually drawn in to posting regularly is complicated and boring, but the start of it had to do with a few lies Vaj (who had been here for awhile) and Barry told about me and alt.m.t. Anyone who wants to check it out, search for the thread "17 New Members" that began on May 17, 2005. As I became a regular, I tried to avoid clashing with Barry and just participate in other discussions, but that's difficult when someone has it in for you and repeatedly misrepresents you to a bunch of people most of whom don't know you. > Fast forward to now: Barry has no friends or allies on here any longer.
