I let Richard back in because he said people were talking about him and he wanted to respond. Has he run amok? Batgap Yahoo group has never been of much importance to me. Just something I set up. The significant thing is the 175K or so people who watch or listen to the interviews each month.

And what's wrong with TV (and movie) reviews? Lots of folks here watch TV. Are they supposed to be spending their evenings reading the Gita? One man's negativity is another's constructive quest for understanding, or something - I'm too tired to get a good line together.... And I'm all for TV and movie reviews, too much bible talk gets tedious. It's funny though, the only really negative people here are Stevie Wonder and the Lone Star Troll. It's bizarre that anyone would spend so much energy just going "Yah Boo" all day. The fascinating thing from my point of view is that both of these guys -- Steve Sundur and Richard Williams -- are so far gone into their cult psychosis that they actually don't *know* that the only thing they're capable of doing any more is stalking people they've taken a dislike to. One really has to wonder what *happened* to them to make them this un-self-aware. The only valid emotion one can feel about either of them is pity. The real casualty in all of this, however, is Rick. I admit to having lost all respect for him for reversing his previous sane decision and allowing Richard Williams to return to FFL. He *clearly* has never even bothered to read anything Richard posts. While I understand, what that means is that Rick *clearly* doesn't CARE what this pyschopath has done to the forum he founded. That's very sad. Yes, Rick clearly has no interest in what goes on here any more and only ever posts links to his BATGAP stuff. Maybe he uses this place as a counterpoint to it - FFL the dark side of spirituality - and the more crazies he has the happier he is. It's hard to believe that Willytex is so unaware of how he comes across, maybe he's beyond caring too and just wants to spread his misery around. I never open their posts any more, life's too short, but the one useful function the pair of them have is that any casual passing observer is going to think hard about the impact of long term meditation practise. I certainly agree with the latter statement, and with your assessment of Rick's non-involvement. Interesting, isn't it, that the forum he created to discuss the BATGAP interviews gets ZERO traffic, because it turned out so namby-pamby and insipid that no one stuck around. It's difficult for me to understand how someone like Rick who claims that his main interest is the "enlightened" people he interviews CAN'T TELL how insane Willytex is. Then again, Rick is the one who actually believed that *Ravi* was enlightened, too. Go figure.
