cont'd>>>>><br><br>intelligent

censure -- thanks again. we are one. somehow risking

specious accusations of "off-topic-ness" doesn't seem such

a formidable ramification when one is well aware of

the ultimate result of dehumanization and

harassment.<br><br>predictably, after three weeks of gay bashing and baiting,

you

and various other anonymous screen names are now

attempting to claim that i swooped in to speak of gay

issues. never happened, wouldn't occur to me, not my

thing. you and your friends can keep repeating the lie,

but it is still a lie. i am just a yogi, not a

political activist.<br><br>as i far as i can tell my first

post here (3/4) was about the use of mantras as

described by patanjali. just previous and subsequent to

that time the bulk of the messages here comprised a

debate as to how much money sri jois should be making,

who should be allowed to study with him, etc. there

was an ongoing discussion of hemmorrhoids,

"big-assed" yoga teachers, and oh yes, screwgee informed

everyone that the upbringing of "her generation" was

conservative, hence her disapproval of that "flambouyant

character" david life and his "gender bending" outfits, and

of "defacing" the body with tattoos.<br><br>in the

midst of this my posts were in the main about my

understanding of the yoga sutras as they applied to on-topic

messages here. noticed you, s.s., were gratuitously

argumentative early on.<br><br>i made the lighthearted comment

in the midst of a discussion of internet

abbreviations that whenever i saw someone use the redundant IMO

i imagined the writer to be saying "in my orifice"

especially if he or she were disagreeable. screwgee's

response gratuitously trashed gay men in a completely non

sequitur snipe on 3/21. i noted the comment, but declined

to respond more than once. you and a gang of other

courageous anonymous screen names continued the

attacks.<br><br>several lovely, intelligent people here issued their

disapproval of your execrable behavior, apologized to me for

you in email, and asked that i not leave the club,

citing previous confligrations of evil by questionable

entities here.<br><br>a no-brainer really. happy to stay

and put up with it 'til the cows come home. in my

life i have little to fear personally from gay bashers

-- nothing at all really. community, physical

presence, experience, and karma blessing me with knowledge

of the true Self through a sadhana including

practice of the ashtanga seem to preclude any problem. it

is for those "queers" blessed with "flambouyance"

and a penchant for "gender-bending" that i calmly

must insist, yet again, that you and your cohorts

refrain from any further gay baiting and bashing.
