All I can say is that my post referenced VEBAL slapping, meaning that I would not cut Schneider any slack for his prepsoterous claims for TM, especially his idea that he as a cardiologist is in any way an expert or authority on any form of psychiatry. Having watched his first "Vedic psychiatry" presentation I have already stated here on FFL that his ideas are more TM fluff and bs. OF COURSE you were referring to verbal slapping, and Doug knows it. He's just being a drama queen. But it's interesting that in doing so and in calling what you wrote a "threat," he's revealing the incredible extent of his bias against you and people like you who don't toe the TM party line. Seems to me Doug is referring to a threat of *verbal* abuse, which is precisely what Michael made (he reiterates it above). (snip) What I find most fascinating is that Doug believes that these people are such wimps and so UNinvincible that the only way they'd agree to appear on Fairfield Life is if he put everyone who isn't a TM TB on "moderated" status and sat there poised with his finger on the button to make sure that no one was able to sneak through a real question. That's pretty revealing. That may fascinate you, Barry, but it's your fantasy, not anything Doug has said he believes or is going to do. And FYI, it's entirely possible to ask a "real" question without being abusive. (snip) I suspect that you and I are both high on Doug's agenda for who he had already *planned* to ban when he took on the job of FFL moderator, so we'll probably be "neck and neck" down the stretch until one of us finally "wins." :-) :-) :-) As I said earlier, it seems some here think the only form moderation takes is expulsion. I doubt that's how Doug sees it. His post to Michael sounds to me like a very gentle warning. My guess is that people will be put on moderated status, warnings will be given, and only if the warnings are repeatedly ignored will expulsion be considered. From: "TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@...

OK, my bad. I managed to get all dyslexic while typing in the post number, and got post 416431 instead. Sorry. Thus I retract the things I said in my post below in points 1, 2 and 3. How about retracting all the accusations you made against me in your earlier post, which you messed up as badly as you did this one?
