The Actual Freedom Trust ~ Commonly Raised Objections

The Anti-Peace Hall of Fame

RICHARD: So far this mailing list has attracted cult-busters, guru-busters, disciple-busters, clone-busters, method-busters – and even a myth-destroyer (albeit a one-poster though) – so perhaps you could declare your hand and establish yourself in the anti-peace hall of fame as ... um ... a prose-buster, perhaps?

RESPONDENT: Not sure what a prose buster is but I think that is your gig.

RICHARD: Perhaps it would have been better to have suggested ‘wordy, verbose prose-buster’ then ... However, as ‘wordy, verbose prose-buster’ is a ... um ... a wordy, or a verbose, way of putting it, then maybe ‘verbiage-buster’ would look better in the anti-peace hall of fame?

RESPONDENT: Oh, and if you don’t like advaita, you should probably remove the link to the Atlanta Advaita Society from your site. It’ll give you more room for something really important, like more of The Anti-Peace Hall of Fame.

RICHARD: Ha ... that section was created at the express suggestion of a spiritualist writing to this mailing list in October last year:

• [Co-Respondent]: ‘... if you want to be fair you could include one more link called ‘The Sceptics’, preferably in highlighted large fonts! I am sure there is a lot of material among your correspondents that you could separate and put in there so to facilitate ‘the seeker’s’ search.
• [Richard]: ‘You may be confusing those who object to be happy and harmless for spiritual reasons with those who are genuinely sceptical that such a thing is possible ...’

The naming of it came from a response to another spiritualist writing to this mailing list 20 days later:

• [Co-Respondent]: ‘Thanks for the reply. This is fun! In fact, I am rather having a ball here at my keyboard with you Richard. But the challenge is wearing off.
• [Richard]: ‘Hmm ... and what ‘challenge’ would that be? So far this mailing list has attracted cult-busters, guru-busters, disciple-busters, clone-busters, method-busters – and even a myth-destroyer (albeit a one-poster though) – so perhaps you could declare your hand and establish yourself in the anti-peace hall of fame as ... um ... a prose-buster, perhaps?
