and yikes II, this is pretty revealing. I didn't realize how deep the
attachment went. Do you think it may have run mostly in one direction, though?
Is this where things start to gravitate below the belt? And if so, why Steve?
Is it not possible to engage in a discussion without getting personal and
far-fetched in your unfounded theories?

My memory is excellent, and I followed Robin's posts more closely than anyone
here. The two of us were good friends and had extensive email correspondence.
You repeatedly get things wrong that have happened in the past. I never saw
him say anything like what you imagine. You made the claim, you find the post.
Judy, I don't know what the point of arguing about it is. If he said it, it
will be there in the record. Without being too boastful, my memory is pretty
good. My impression is that he had nothing to do with e-mails, and seemed to
predate his participation here.

You've got something screwy here, Stevie. He may have been talking about
email, in which case he probably meant with me. But there was no "daily
confessional."
My recollection is that he did, indeed say that he has a friend he meets with
most everyday, at Starbucks, (I believe), in whom he confides thoughts,
feelings.
I would say this was a couple months before he stopped posting.

"Daily confessional with his friend at Starbuck's"?? Robin never said anything
remotely like that.
Both Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologies have clearly explicated
the nature of union with God – at least as far as that is possible for humans.
However, he never appeared interested in learning more - whether about
Catholic/Orthodox Christianity, Yogic Vedanta or Shankara’s Advaita Vedanta. I
attribute this to a lack of genuine humility although he was constantly
espousing a pseudo-humility.
Sorta my take on the whole thing. On the other hand, we do have the "missing"
years when he was substitute teaching. Could get some checks in the humility
column for that. And then we have his daily confessional with his friend at
Starbucks. Do I have that right?
