most of us here are neutral about TM and the Movement's machinations That obviously doesn't include Steve, Buck, Nabby, Feste, Sri, Share, Doc, Dan - so who are the "most of us?" I'll tell you. Nabby is def the most hardcore TM guy here. Buck plays it up and has his likes and his dislikes about the Movement but believes in the ME and in the process of TM itself as enriching. So, Buck takes some and leaves some. Feste does his thing and apparently likes living in FF for all sorts of reasons beyond the fact so many are TM'ers there. Feste has been around long enough to know the positives from the negatives when it comes to TM and and Movement. I don't know about Sri, I don't read his posts as they don't interest me. Share can laugh about most of it and certainly doesn't get on any soapboxes about TM, and if you'll notice she's into all sorts of stuff besides TM. Steve is very far from being some "sycophant" as you call it. He is probably the least pro TM and Movement of those you listed. He has had a very busy life away from FF and has a full family life beyond TM. Doc simply stands behind the practice and he feels his life has everything to show for what TM and hard work and intention can bring one in their personal journey. Doc is his own man - independent, fulfilled and well-rounded. Dan is not afraid to embrace and admit his deep interest and involvement in things MMY and TM. But the guy seems hardly like some aescetic, pale skinned anaemic terminal rounder. He goes to Zabar's, watches the barely clothed on the catwalk at Fashion Week, can swear like a sailor and generally is having a little fun here finding a few buttons to push (notice, bawee has headed for the hills). So, all in all, you are misreading these people thinking you are getting under their skin by dissing TM and Maharishi. They don't care, they aren't being shown 'the light' by you proclaiming how you feel about the 'old goat'. But Nabby is your man, if you want to single one person out who is 100% pro TM.

I do, and I sense you to do. But, I confess, I do derive a certain amount of pleasure, or I guess amusement would be a better word, to see him wind himself up every morning, and perform the same routine. "Hi,- I-am-Michael" "Have-I-told-you-today-that-the-TMO-is-a-bad-organization" "Oh-I-haven't?" "Shame-on-me. I-will-start-right-in" You are correct Steve. I DO like MJ, in spite of his insistence on repeating himself day in and day out. But I can tell he's a good guy and, anyway, I love the fact he is a baker and that he worked his ass off at MIU and I believe he was probably treated ignorantly while he was there so I sympathize. And I don't really mind that he has this need to dredge up all the dirt he can find on the Movement and anyone involved therein - it just happens to be his thing and a very large part of his participation here (hope you don't mind me talking about you, MJ, as if you weren't here 'cause I know you are. I must admit that I am a tad hurt that I am not invited to the Amsterdam dinner, however.). So, I let him ramble on and I watch his delight as bawee takes up the ball and runs around like an idiot with it adding his own 1 cent to the general dissension of the naysayers. It is so funny though because most of us here are neutral about TM and the Movement's machinations so most of what MJ writes is positively wasted on us drudges. I feel kinda bad because he puts a lot of energy into this and I am such a bad audience but, yes, I can't help but like the guy just like I can't help thinking you're a really good soul as well. I do believe in souls, you know even though they have not been scientifically proven to exist.
