So you say. you aren't an "apostate" As Willytex would say (even though he didn't know what it meant): "Non sequitur." The notion would be imaginary whether I was or wasn't an apostate. No Willytex didn't get a single one right that I ever saw, nor did he post ever one relevant link that I followed, but I wasn't an obsessive reader of his posts so I'll give him benefit of the doubt. But the reason you used it is because I didn't explain any further what I meant. I am what Buck would call an "apostate" the word is ridiculous in the context of a debate on FFL, and belongs to heavily religious societies like Saudi Arabia who take such a dim view of it they will cut your head off. Yeah, I know Buck isn't actually threatening violence but the constantly heavy tone of these allusions left us - me anyway - in no doubt about what he thinks of the way things are going round here and what needs to be done to sort it out to his satisfaction. So yes, I'm sensitive to the fact that he'd be happier if I wasn't here and it isn't like we don't have recent examples of people getting canned on what can only be described as technicalities. Though how I survived getting ditched the last few weeks is a mystery to me. Maybe my cute and cuddly personality shines through even when I'm angry? Or maybe he appreciates my comments on the TMO and things like the pundits and the new mental health improvements? I mean them seriously you know but he never gets back to me. I want a reformation not because I'm still involved but because the "technologies" they sell on the back of the beliefs they sold previously cost a lot of my friends a lot of money, and they get zilch back. I'm a crusader for justice you see. That's one of the reasons anyway. Another is that I like talking about a wild period in my life and think I've got a valid opinion about some of the more contraversial aspects of it. It doesn't matter how many people tell them what Ann does below (highlighted in red); they simply can't "hear" it: The problem on FFL has not been criticism of TM, it's been gross incivility and misrepresentation, primarily by TM critics toward TM supporters. That's what Doug was appointed by Rick to correct, and so far that's what he's done by bouncing three of the guilty parties. Talking of incivility; (Says salyavin, carefully avoiding the point.) Not really.
