Gmom, when I refered to venom, I did refer to MOST -- not all of you. I respect the actions you took if the allegations against Jagdeo are correct. The actions I do not respect are of the ones who are using your story to satisfy their grudges. I understand that you would welcome their support but that doesn't hide the fact they are using you.

I think there's a difference between using a person and supporting a person. When sticky issues arise about unethical treatment (and illegal treatment) by one premie toward another premie, I've noticed what I call the 'airstream effect,' i.e., the words blow by the head, closely passing the ears, but not entering them. This happens because, if the words entered and were actually heard, the entire belief system of the premie would be called into question. I have great understanding of this because I, too, suffered from the syndrome. Just because a premie doesn't want to hear something, doesn't mean it should not be said. At one point, I attempted to right a wrong which had been inflicted on an ashram premie. After many years of solid dedication, this premie developed Multiple Sclerosis, and soon thereafter was asked to leave the ashram. When I complained to the powers that be about such insensitive and crass treatment, I was told that they were doing nothing illegal. They went deaf when I brought up
ethics. So I know whereof I speak.
