This place may just fade into the woodwork. It does get tiresome. I am pretty
sure Barry was feeling wearisome about it. He did post many marvellous things.
His not being here seems the result of a personal vendetta at the hands of the
moderator. The problem with power is it reveals one's corruption. Judy seemed
to lose interest, maybe she just got tired. Her method of posting did not seem
to have changed. Barry challenged people at the gut level as well as at the
intellectual level. The gut level is much more difficult to respond to because
it activates the lower emotional brain functions, and the intellect goes into
hibernation as a result. You even see this in the Bhagavad-Gita: 'From anger
delusion occurs, from delusion bewilderment of memory, after forgetfulness of
memory, the loss of spiritual intelligence, and losing spiritual intelligence,
one perishes'.

Dispatch #2)
Both, Barry and Judy are no longer posting here. I also
losing my inclination to post here.
Is it time for Rick to shut down FFL? Nothing lasts forever.
All things must end.
If Barry were around he would have quoted Nietzsche.
"Not only the wisdom of centuries --- also their madness
breaketh out in us. Dangerous is it to be an heir."

I must say I'm impressed at your patience with this bullshit Xeno. But perhaps
it's time to point out the irony in what's happening. Here we have a bunch of
people with not much to say about anything claiming that "mean old Bawee"
stopped them from posting because he was such a mean old meanie.
And here they are pouring abuse on you in the same way they claim he used to
get at them! I've said these people have no sense of awareness but isn't this
taking it too far? I think that amoeba I posted about yesterday has a better
grasp of what's going on than Ms "Back for More".
Lets make a challenge out of it. If it was the Big Bad Wolf stopping
conversations here then why haven't they started again? How come it's looking
more like a teenage girl's facebook page every day?
If you were being prevented from posting, start posting. Start a thread, say
something interesting, tell us something we didn't know, give us an insight
into something - anything.But stop this dumb harassment of Xeno, you're just
making yourself look stupid, he's got more to say than the rest of us put
together.
If you can't manage a whole thread you can share brain cells until you've
thought of something. Better still, have a look back through the archives at
some of Barry's pieces about creative writing. He posted some good essays on
how to get started on the subject because, like me, he got fed up of the lack
of participation and one line posts that add nothing that infest this place.
But any appreciation of Barry's writing and contributions about archaeology,
travel or history or even TV reviews would be a way of admitting that he made
up a huge part of what was worth reading. Can't have that eh? Got to paint him
bad and use him to blame your lack of meaningful participation on.
When was the last time Judy started a thread? Hell, when was the first time
Judy started a thread!
Make an effort, stop the hypocritical bullshit or this place will drown in
bland your pap.
