As I've said, I think the forum would benefit from contributions from Xeno. 

 Politics seem to be the main fare, at least for now, but Xeno was one who 
opined on other topics which I find more of interest.

Most of us who are discussing politics are not "trolling," and it's insulting 
to suggest otherwise. 

 Political discussions are "without spiritual context" only if you put 
spirituality in a box and wall it off from the rest of human experience. Rick 
realized this, and chose not to build such walls. That's why he didn't limit 
discussion topics in any way (other than to exclude pornography).

Interestingly I have been in some exploratory negotiations over the brand name 
we use here of FairfieldLife and a use of FairfieldLife by the Fairfield, Iowa 
community.  For one month, from the first Tuesday in October to the first 
November Tuesday, Election Day in November there is some planning that proposes 
FFL be a platform to what will be a coordinated push for communal meditation 
and events in the spiritual community of Fairfield, Iowa.  .

 One iteration of proposal is to leave the FFL community as it is, to retain 
FFL as an open place of spiritual critique and to simply add the relevant 
meditating project component to the FFL content.  
 Another proposal is to make FFL exclusive to the communal meditation project 
for the month of October unto the Election Day.  .
 Also in these kinds of conversations is a position held by small segments as 
to absolutely close FairfieldLife down as a Yahoo-Group.

I remember at one time, a member commented that on his visits to FF, a 
predominate subject matter was how to monetize this or that thing. 

 Should your discussions you are having include the possibility of monetizing 
the FFL assets, whatever they might be?  Should Rick have a residual claim on 
such assets, at least before a certain date?  
 

 These issues must not be given short shrift!
 

 Perhaps it might be wise to act before Verizon changes the rules of the game.

Well, I was going to suggest that we not wait to be "exiled," but simply pick 
up and move over to FFL2. The ugly threatening tone of Doug's recent posts 
suggests that we don't have any voice in the matter; he's clearly not 
interested in entertaining dissent. 

 Remember, Doug is the owner of FFL, and if he wants to turn it into a forum 
that Rick and those of us who have been here for years wouldn't recognize or 
find appealing, that's his prerogative. His recent post indicates that he's 
huddling with anonymous folks who have apparently never participated in FFL, so 
their concerns don't reflect ours.
 

 (If the name "FairfieldLife Freer Speech" is claimed to infringe on the 
"FairfieldLife" brand name so as to preclude our using that forum for 
discussions that don't conform to Doug's ideas about isolating spirituality 
from the rest of human experience, I'm sure Alex would be willing to change the 
name.)

 Doug, give your head a shake and step back for a moment. If you want to 
enforce an iron grip on this forum perhaps you should start a different one or 
give us all 30 day notice now to vacate the premises. You can't start changing 
the rules at this stage of the game.

Like woelf, I was also thinking that this group was starting to revive itself 
and show promise again. I think it should be left alone to grow. I would not 
move over to FFL2 since I will not be on a forum with the people who were 
rightly thrown off this one. My advice to Doug is to leave well alone and allow 
people to talk about whatever comes up, as long as there are no serial abusers 
taking root.

 I'm good with that. Moving to FFL-2 means we would be right back where we were 
with regard to possibly having to deal with "the people who were rightly thrown 
off of this one". They don't look like they're having too good a time over at 
the Water Closet (low post count) and as we already saw, bawee couldn't resist 
using FFL-2 to insert his unseemly presence again. I think I'd rather stay at 
FFL discussing Saints and asanas for a month than endure one post from BW.

FWIW, the only person who was thrown off FFL who still occasionally posts to 
FFL2 is Xeno. All the others have fled into The_Closet and slammed and locked 
the door. (Er, excuse me, The_Corner.) 

 I agree with you that ideally, FFL should be left alone to grow. But as I 
suggested, I don't think we have anything to say about it. (And I suspect that 
Doug is carrying out a plan for FFL that he has had in mind for a long time.)

I'm very dubious that Barry is going to show up on FFL2 again. The 
embarrassment that caused him to flee was too great, and if the same people who 
embarrassed him are there, he isn't going to expose himself to that kind of 
trauma again. He made that one post because nobody else had posted for quite 
some time, so he felt safe. He thought he could draw us back howling in outrage 
for his scalp so he could boast to his thugs on The_Closet that he could 
resuscitate the group after having killed it. He failed miserably.

 I'm good with that. Moving to FFL-2 means we would be right back where we were 
with regard to possibly having to deal with "the people who were rightly thrown 
off of this one". They don't look like they're having too good a time over at 
the Water Closet (low post count) and as we already saw, bawee couldn't resist 
using FFL-2 to insert his unseemly presence again. I think I'd rather stay at 
FFL discussing Saints and asanas for a month than endure one post from BW.

Thanks for calling out all the site trolling, Doug, 
 

 There should be a FFL Group rule that anyone caught lying to this discussion 
group should be banned immediately, without even a warning - don't even give 
the trolls a chance to respond. 
 

 There's nothing spiritual about debating mundane politics!

Why have exploratory negotiations over anything here? its a Yahoo Group, end of 
story. If a bunch of people who feel strongly about group meditation and the 
upcoming election want to get on here and advocate for that, more power to 
them. But to restrict any discourse to that sole topic would make this a really 
quiet place - Try it if you like, but I don't think it will work. Just keeping 
the spam, assholes and trolls away is job enough, and so far, so good. I do 
find our resident from TX in all his aliases pretty OCD, but more a harmless 
pain in the rump vs anything truly disruptive or offensive.

You sound prejudiced against people that live in Texas. 
 

 The only reason anyone would use an alias here is because they might get 
reported to the administration or the moderator and banned from group 
meditation in the dome, or cause someone to lose their job. 
 

 You should probably be reprimanded for attempting to reveal private 
information about a FFL member. That used to be the rule around here. Go 
figure.

I generally can't follow what Doug is saying much of the time, but the gist of 
this latest rambling sounds pretty weird. 

 I'll jump in a heartbeat, and break free of the dogma, or whatever it is that 
is being proposed.
 

 Crazy, isn't it.

Analysis: True 

 He probably won't be back to FFL-2 - not after the reply I posted recently. 
He's so jealous sometimes, he just can't stand sharing the spotlight with 
anyone, as you know.
 
 Obviously he should have stuck to his original alias, UT, and kept posting to 
Google Groups. That way, he could have continued to build up a database of 
punditry that was easily searchable and current. 
 

 By stalking me over to FFL, he lost sight of his main goal which was to finish 
writing his book about the Cathars and the Concubines of Christ. Instead, he 
frittered away a decade reading and responding to your messages and rebuttals 
on Yahoo using AOL.

 I'm very dubious that Barry is going to show up on FFL2 again. The 
embarrassment that caused him to flee was too great, and if the same people who 
embarrassed him are there, he isn't going to expose himself to that kind of 
trauma again. He made that one post because nobody else had posted for quite 
some time, so he felt safe. He thought he could draw us back howling in outrage 
for his scalp so he could boast to his thugs on The_Closet that he could 
resuscitate the group after having killed it. He failed miserably.

 Like woelf, I was also thinking that this group was starting to revive itself

move over to FFL2 since I will not be on a forum with the people who were 
rightly thrown off this one. My advice to Doug is to leave well alone and allow 
people to talk about whatever comes up, as long as there are no serial abusers 
taking root. 
 

 I'm good with that. Moving to FFL-2 means we would be right back where we were 
with regard to possibly having to deal with "the people who were rightly thrown 
off of this one". They don't look like they're having too good a time over at 
the Water Closet (low post count) and as we already saw, bawee couldn't resist 
using FFL-2 to insert his unseemly presence again. I think I'd rather stay at 
FFL discussing Saints and asanas for a month than endure one post from BW.

Over the years on FFL whenever Doug would display displeasure at the 
content some of us suggested he just form his own Yahoo Group.  Of 
course we also suggested he would probably only have one member. :-D


Rick can speak for himself but we do know he got too busy with BGP to do 
much with FFL.  I'm betting that Doug was the only person interested in 
taking over FFL.  No one else we know of offered or it might have gone 
to them instead.

As I said, Doug is the owner of FFL. "List Owner" happens to be Yahoo's own 
term for the individual responsible for a group. Look at any group "About" 
page; scroll down to the "Group Email Addresses" section. The last address is 
called "List Owner." For FFL, the address is:  

 fairfieldlife-ow...@yahoogroups.com

 

 An email to this address will go to Doug.
 

 For The_Peak, it's:
 

 the_peak-ow...@yahoogroups.com

 

 An email to this address will go to Jim.
 

 For the Self-publishing group, it's:
 

 self-publishing-ow...@yahoogroups.com

 And so on. This is standard throughout Yahoo Groups.

Not good enough research.  I don't have time nor the interest to wander 
through the group "terms of service and agreement" but these issues have 
come up in the past regarding these kinds of companies.  For instance 
there was an issue over Facebook overreach with regard to owning user 
content. IOW, if Doug took Fairfield Life to another group like Google 
or Reddit etc Yahoo might have a problem with it though likely not as 
FFL isn't even a blip on their radar.


We know that other Fairfield and TM centric groups have come and gone on 
the Internet. The only ones that seem to survive are the ones that 
expose the authoritarian overreach of the organization.

You questioned my terminology. The Yahoo term for the person responsible for 
the group is List Owner. Doug is the List Owner of FFL. No further "research" 
needed on that point.
 

 Your post is a non sequitur. We're not talking about who owns user content or 
moving FFL to another platform. Rather, I was pointing out that Doug, as list 
owner, can unilaterally decide what type of group he wants FFL to be and 
enforce that decision, including, e.g., throwing all of us out and adding new 
members who are more to his liking, banning political discussions, etc.

took Fairfield Life to another group like Google or Reddit etc Yahoo might have 
a problem with it though likely not as FFL isn't even a blip on their radar.
 
 We know that other Fairfield and TM centric groups have come and gone on the 
Internet. The only ones that seem to survive are the ones that expose the 
authoritarian overreach of the organization.

 More likely Yahoo is the owner not Doug.  It's probably in the terms of 
service.  Doug would just be considered "responsible" for it.  It's a "rights" 
issue and often part of these kinds of services.  Or basically attorneys on

 Political discussions are "without spiritual context" only if you put 
spirituality in a box and wall it off from the rest of human experience. Rick 
realized this, and chose not to build such walls. That's why he didn't limit

Nonsense.  I'm explaining how and why tech companies which I have over
