salyavin, I'm not just defending Richard. I'm expressing my opinion, which is the idea that we all have strengths and weaknesses. Certain weaknesses bother me and others don't, and I think that's true of us all.
I'm not sure that Richard is so concerned about being taken seriously a lot of the time. Sometimes, but not as often as some other people who want to be taken seriously ALL the time. Go figure!

If he wants to carry on and be ignored by 99% of the people here that's up to him. What he gets out of it is beyond me. Look at it as helping him realise that he needs to modify his approach if he wants to be taken seriously. But like most people here he's old enough to have decided the sort of face he wants to present to the world. Go figure. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : salyavin, I think Judy and turq also repeat themselves. True, not as much as Richard does. But I think he has redeeming qualities too, as do they. I guess it's just a matter of the fact that we all get triggered by different stuff.

What about the at least 2 other people who have been posting for decades? They get a pass from you about that? Only Richard is guilty?!

I was actually hoping you'd come out and say that you'd never got anything from meditating and was asking a genuine question. Or maybe you just did that? Anyways, that'd be funny if you'd been doing it wrong your whole life and never gotten anything - explain a lot too. But I guess you actually do know that some words - or the way they are used - hold wonders for the human mind, but instead you just want to "dance" about it and ask obtuse questions like I'd want to go along and argue the toss about nothing. But you've managed to waste another 5 minutes of my one and only precious life so I guess that's your mission accomplished.
