I'm sure you're confident, Share. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the picture. The people you spoke to knew Robin 30+ years ago, when he was quite a different person and did a lot of harm, and they had plenty of motivation to encourage you to believe he had mistreated you. We didn't see any

Caffeine will deplete B vitamins so good to take some if you like to drink coffee or stimulating teas (even Green tea). It's not advocated for vata types (nor pittas) unless your sub dosha is kapha. On 02/15/2014 01:42 PM, anartax...@yahoo.com wrote: As usual this coffee seems to have a

Says Xeno the Troll, who is into saying extremely ugly things these days, and has not the vaguest notion of what kind of therapist Robin might have been (now, not 30 years ago). (Ironically, Xeno has convinced himself that he's in a position to advance FFLers' spiritual development by, among

Judy, the people who agreed with you were the ones who usually agree with you. Whereas the people from outside FFL who supported me purposefully came onto FFL to do so and had zero motivation to do so, other than to validate what I had said and thus offer support. I believe Ann remains friends

The folks here who saw you misuse the term psychological rape for your own malign ends might well have thought you invented it and therefore might have been suspicious of Carol's account. I wanted to ensure they didn't make that mistake. Judy, you are the troll in this situation, for

Oh, yes, right, the old Barry canard: people who express the same views I do about something don't think for themselves and just follow my lead in hopes that I'll praise them, no matter what I say. That never carried any weight, and it hasn't improved with age. Of course those people who
