A participant on alt.m.t back in 1994 described the problem Barry's having very well. Referring to the TM critics on the newsgroup, that person wrote:
"The frequency of their posts and the anger you can feel behind them tells the real story. They're on a crusade. They probably spend more time reading the newsgroup and posting to it than the gung-ho TM people. IMHO, these guys are basically children who feel somehow slighted because their experience with TM didn't turn out the way they expected it to. "But what I think really galls them the most is the fact that, for so many others, it _did_ turn out the way they expected it to. No matter what they say outwardly, inwardly, they suspect that any failure was theirs, not TM's, and they want to make sure that no one else has the opportunity to succeed where they failed." http://groups.google.com/group/alt.meditation.transcendental/msg/485213dc6ebc20b1 http://tinyurl.com/c6b68n Anybody want to take a guess who wrote this before you click the link to find out?
