Geir> Shall we vote about having a Nazi give us reading-lists ? In French
schools the teachers are pretty heavily Marxist-Leninists (or were when the
Party was still scoring at elections). I think that the functioning of the
Buddhist scene in the West with the New Age people straight out of the Fascist
(Aryan) womb (like Rot above) that created Hitler, who direct it, should be
denounced and the new people on arbt be informed of the real beliefs of their
'teachers' ! (I've posted the links between the Theosophists and Hitler so I
won't come back to that again for fear of being boring) >

OK Geir, so you want to argue ? Then come up with something we can argue in
a peoper manner. So far you have only come up with insults toward others.
Not exactly the character of a learned individual. Prove me wrong, that you
are not crazy. Insults just doesn't cut it here :-)

I think I recall something along those lines. Doesn't he want to put a
contract on ObL or something like that? Now that is deluded!

Did you ever think in your paranoid schiziophrenic mind, that maybe
Mindspring provides inernet services to more than just me ??
No, you misunderstood. I'm saying that in you confused mind, you believe
you are trying to do something good. You're taking a completely wrong
method. Just Like OBL believes that he is doing they right thing and
twisting his religion around to fit his twisted ideals, you are doing the
same thing. You claim to be Buddhist, but you go around insulting everyone
and using derrogatory names. This DOES NOT fit in with Buddhist ideals. It's
good that you understand that nazi's and people that spread around hate. Yet
you turn around and do the same thing, this isn't the right way to deal with
these issues. Try being COMPASSIONATE and Understanding when talking to
people. Pushing them around and saying "you better do this or else" just
won't work.

Thank goodness for killfiles, Ixnay! I missed that one.

Looks like Geir is up well past his bedtime. About 1:18 in the morning
Paris time and boy oh boy it's as if someone pissed in his cornflakes! He
posted a response to your reply. Nothing special, the usual nastiness but
nothing compared to his response to me with his endless drivel and useless
links to his webpage. I'm not planning to respond to him because he said I
should not argue with the insane and I've decided to take his advice.
Besides, there are others who have decided to take on the burden of
questioning the merits of what he posts. All power to them!
Cheers,

had *actual* proof to back it up. I looked all over his page, but found no
proof that this Ole Nydhal is a nazi. What a paranoid shizophrenic wacko

Dear Ixnay,
Someone alerted me to the fact he claims to be doing the same thing he did
before, meaning to quote me without my permission. I will do the same
thing if I have to - meaning to shut him down through his web host if he
does that.

Geir> I've seen 'atl.mindspring.net' all over the web, particularly as Dick
Eastman from Washington State, but also as Blue Buddha and Gilly here on ARBT,
so as we had innumerable aliases for Nydahl in the past years, here we have
these new ones. But the difference now is that these react to impulses : the
Beast is beginning to bark, which is good. As Sakya Pandita says in the Sakya
Leshe a dog that barks doesn't bite and likewise an evil person who attacks
isn't dangerous whereas one that remains silent is.
Olympics'r'new target/Anti-O.B.Ladin Petition/USgovernment.
"Publishing the lists of Muslim victims of the WTC"
http://www.petitiononline.com/mvwtc/petition.html
To: United States Government
Osama bin Laden is using the forces he has pitted against him to appear in the
eyes of the Islamic world as it's foremost defender. He may even want to appear
as the world Messiah that the Muslims are awaiting, as are Judeo-Christian
religions.
I thus have a simple question : how could the Messiah, if he were a Muslim, be
the Messiah, if He were to go against the precept of Islam which states that
the murder of innocent Muslims (I don't mention innocent non-Muslims, as their
murder is a Virtue for Osama bin Laden) is prohibited and is the murder of all
Humanity ? The Messiah would not be the Saviour if He *killed* all Humanity.
There were Muslims in the World Trade Center tragedies on September 11.
I thus want to have the names of these irrefutable proofs of the falseness of
Osama bin Laden's pretences (if he should have such) that he be the Messiah or
of peoples' beliefs that he be that, as he may certainly manage to make
innocent and ignorant people believe, now that he has managed to league great
forces against him. Indeed if he succeeded in this, the end of the world would
surely be near as his goal seems to be the same as Hitler's, ie. kill everybody
on Earth !
If you also would like this religio-terrorist fraud to be denounced, sign on to
the petition for "Publishing the list of Muslim victims of the WTC" and show a
citizen-support to the fight against Terrorism that weakens this man instead of
strengthening him as he has conned us to do. Attacking him by conventional
means, indeed, makes him arise from the shadows and become more and more
famous. Stop his fame ! Shame him ! The religion he uses as his basis doesn't -
cannot endorse him ! He is famous as it is : he and we don't need to be laden
with a Messiah, at least not him.
Geir Smith.

Ev,
To be honest I haven't noticed any such snippings. Mind you I don't look at
all of his posts. I limit myself to the ones that have the most insane
subject line. He's busy trying to build a case against alt.mindspring.net
being Ole. I believe he thinks Mindspring is a single person. I suspect he
thinks Gilly and Blue Buddha are the same person because their posts
originate at Mindspring therefore Gilly=Blue Buddha=Ole. I can't be
bothered trying to tell him that Mindspring is an internet provider with
thousands of subscribers. Probably wouldn't listen anyway.
I'll keep my eyes open for any misquotes from you in his postings.

Dear Ixnay,

Geir> The closing down of the Shambala Forum by the allied Nydahl-people may
interest the Dalaď-Lama as he Himself is under constant threat of these same
people to prevent His reincarnation in accord with the Communist Chinese
(Remember them ? They killed 1,5 million Tibetans. They're allied to Nydahl
through Shugden.) If His Holiness the Dalaď-Lama wants to see the data about
the close-down of the site He can just click here and He'll see exactly what
kind of slanderous people they are :
http://www.geocities.com/shambalakingdom/ (includes the threats to Him)
on which page He should click on :
http://geocities.com/longlivemaitreya/ where the bottom section concerns the
shut-down; "The Nydahl Pyrrhus Vistory", viz. the victory that lost him.
I believe the Armageddon announced by the Tibetan texts that will bring on the
advent of the Shambala Kingdom has come and that the time for the Shambala
Warriors, of which the Dalaď-Lama is one, to fight has come, so that the
enemies of Virtue within Buddhism (Nydahl-Rot) and the enemies without be
overcome. Fight together ! These are nothing but thugs, drugdealers and
convicted criminals. All Tibetan Buddhists must fight the immoral rot within
religion and never look back.
