Just to add: First, as I noted earlier, I don't believe in "evil." Second, the causes in which I passionately believe are accuracy and fairness. The TM cause for me is distinctly secondary. Obviously you draw different conclusions than I do on many aspects of MMY and the TMO, and obviously you're passionate about them. But passion for one's cause does not give one license to be unfair and inaccurate in promoting that cause. In my observation, you are an unprincipled propagandist when it comes to TM and those groups you are pleased to label "cults." You do not respect the values of fairness and accuracy. This isn't just my observation by any means. Even some TM critics on alt.m.t felt the same way. I'll just mention three of the more egregious examples from Trancenet: the German "study," the series of "press releases" predicting a Jonestown- like outcome for one of MMY's projects, and the "Illustrated Weekly" story on NOIDA (which you and I are currently discussing on your blog). There are many, many others. So that's my beef with you, not your opinions of MMY and TM, misguided though I believe many of them are.
