Doc, are you kidding? I mean think about it - is Barry the only person here on FFL that has "shit all over someone"? Several other people here seem to feel quite free and expert in putting down other people and calling them names (I would say Judy and Ravi are probably most skilled at name calling and putdowns, and they do so frequently) Barry certainly seems to think Robin was and probably is a strange guy. No argument there. Now, Barry posted something written by other people. My take was that it was not focusing on Robin and his personality and his diagnoses or problems; it was about the events of that time as seen thru the theme of spiritual movements and how they grow or split in factions or dissolve. Robin, Shri Shri and Deepak were the players, along with MMY and the TMO. Personally I thought it was interesting to get an objective view of those years in the TMO. There were some details about Robin's activities that I did not know about, and it presented his concerns witht he TMO and how it had changed for the worse. It was a rather clear summary from one point of view. I hardly consider that "shitting all over Robin." > > > > > > Who does that??
