I am appreciating the comments here about the group.
The trolling of mundane subject threads here posted and scrolling ticker-tape
style down the subject line with first lines of posts like one can read on news
feeds most anywhere, but on FFL, a spiritual Yahoo-group, they often do seem to

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

Political discussions are "without spiritual context" only if you put

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
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

The proposal "to make FFL exclusive to the communal meditation project for the
month of October unto the Election Day" will kill this group stone dead.

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

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 qu
Thanks for calling out all the site trolling, Doug,

the trolls a chance to respond.

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 mak

The only reason anyone would use an alias here is because they might get

I generally can't follow what Doug is saying much of the time, but the gist of

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

He's so jealous sometimes, he just can't stand sharing the spotlight with

Obviously he should have stuck to his original alias, UT, and kept posting to

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.

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.
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. I
