I use sarcasm on you because I am nauseated by your hypocrisy. I have
been reading this NG for a couple of years, with certain pauses, and
I've mostly remained in the lurk mode - mostly because I hardly see
anything worth responding to. Basically, the majority of postings here
is from people who see yoga as something between stretching and
aerobics; there are also some interesting messages, but the overall
situation is far worse than for instance on the Kundalini-gateway list
(run by Angelique), which also has its assholes, but one can also find
very honest people who are deeply rooted in reality. If I happen to
visit the USA, I hope to meet some of those people, whom I already see
as good friends.
Here, however, when we eliminate people with superficial ideas about
yoga, kooks like Campbell or plane psychos like "Brahmananda", what is
left are the hypocrites like yourself; people who create an impression
that they know what they're talking about. Your "spirituality"
consists of learnt behavior - and that's not all. You are as capable
of cruelty and viciousness as any other person, but you are not honest
enough to claim it and say that it's yours; au contraire, you cover
your blade with sugar coating before you stab someone with it - always
in the back, and in the dark, because it's not _you_ who did it. 
Throughout these years I have seen your hypocrisy in action, when
someone verbally attacks you. I see you squirm, I see hatred and anger
within you, but you don't vent them in the open, no, that would be
unspiritual. You smile, you keep your lightspirited mask, but I would
never want to be alone in the dark with the likes of you. You are the
living example of everything that is desperately wrong with the faked
spirituality, so common these days. And, I'm not sure if I'm the only
one around here who sees this phenomenon, or if there are other
lurkers who are equally nauseated by you, but who see no point in
saying it.

And, Mr. Quasi Sikh Hypocrite, I don't use sarcasm as a cloak&dagger
technique, as you use kindness. If I don't like something, I spit it
out. I don't smile and pretend that it tastes well, just because it
would spoil my public image if people thought that I can actually _not
like_ something.
I don't think that there's anyone in the world dumb enough _not_ to
see my sarcasm as a fist in your face, so it's not really a coverup
ploy, my aggression is clearly visible, without any attempt to hide. I
simply don't like you and I think that the guys like you are the exact
opposite of anything spiritual. But, if people think about your words,
quoted above, and apply them to yourself, they might actually see a
pattern here.
