Think you can get a little more morally smelly, Stevie-boy? Are you in some kind of competition with Share?
<< Anne, both you and Judy think that I totally missed the mark in my recollection of Robin's post from several years ago. I don't think I did miss the mark, at least by much. But what is wrong with my feeling that Judy had some attachment to Robin? I mean she said as much, (and I am not going to look up that post). Now whether she said so in jest or seriousness, I don't know, but there was a comment along those lines. And given the frequency with which those kindred souls would alternate between irony and seriousness, I'm not going to speculate much beyond that. >> ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote: 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? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: 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. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: 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. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: emptybill doesn't know what he's talking about with regard to Robin, his reams of quotes notwithstanding. "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?
