Yes, it's appreciated by me too. It's interesting that you call my posts "foolish". I guess if pointing out lies is "foolish", then I have been foolish. However, what does concern me though is how many more people you will scam.

No, I'm not deranged. Are you trying to gaslight me like you have with other people? (To gaslight means to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. You were going on about how a teacher should act. I question your actions as a teacher. It's as simple as that.

I did NOT say there was anything wrong with having several gurus. I was simply pointing out that when you talk about your guru, people don't know who you are talking about. We don't know your latest guru, and your past gurus have denounced you.

You claim to like facts. I gave facts. If I just wrote "some guru" then how could anyone verify anything? I haven't said anything negative about those swamis.

I never said otherwise.

"Properly" would mean not by you, a criminal who steals money and makes sexual advances on his students.

Sorry, but you're not one to judge, Robert.

I never said I did. Again, you're putting words in my mouth.

You're really obsessed with attention. You're also very quick at finding anything that anyone dare say negative about you.

I don't think you understand the definition of "gaslight", or think it magically doesn't apply to yourself, just others. I posted the definition above. I would hope that there are critical thinkers here. The more critical, the better.

You're playing with words. You have posted naked photos of yourself to "your students". This is an established fact. You are fond of all of your screenshots that you think will save you from disgrace, but what if other people showed screenshots of the things you've sent to them? I don't think you would like that very much.

You're lying, Robert/Rob/Dwayne/Earthquake/Whatever name you like to use.

Again, that's a lie. I also find it interesting that you ask students to complain to you directly (they have), yet you think that when someone has a major allegation against someone, it's OK if they don't complain directly to them.

Why would the police be talking to you about a loan? I don't know if you're just trying to fool others, or if you're in denial, but you have "borrowed" money from several people (including your students) over the past couple of years that you said you would pay back, but never did.

I think you know what you've sent (or were you inebriated at the time?). Anyway, people have raised these issues with you. Don't pretend otherwise.
> You people are only interested in trolling.
My biggest concern is saving others from your manipulation, and making sure they aren't misled regarding Vedanta.

Good. That's what it's all about.

I thought you said it was best to keep specific swamis out of this?

Is that how a Vedanta teacher speaks? I know you like to brag about your Vedanta knowledge sometimes, but that's a little unbecoming.

It doesn't take a fool to point out lies.

Good for him. Now they're married. What's your point? I'm pretty sure he wasn't willing to disrupt his teaching every couple of months for the latest woman he was trying to get involved with and move to a different continent for. I'm pretty sure he wasn't sending nude photos of himself to her, particularly if she wasn't interested. James is happily married, but you're just always on the lookout for a woman, unless you've magically changed your ways in the past few months.
Anyway, I hope more people with critical thinking skills come here to read these exchanges.
