Comment: More obsessive and repetitive stalk-material from Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai Conspiracy blog. Barry Pittard attempted to do damage control and is now praising India (which he formerly claimed was ubiquitously corrupt). Barry Pittard even praised Mahatma Gandhi and various religions. Barry Pittard and Robert Priddy wrote a joint article in which they bashed millions of Hindu’s (as well as Mahata Gandhi’s) scriptures as being “sheer delusion” believed by “ignorant peasants” who are “backward intellectually” (Ref).

- Muck-rakers and The Timid Who Enable Them

Comment: More obsessive and repetitive stalk-material from Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai Conspiracy blog. This is an amusing and utterly in self-denial post written by Barry Pittard that sums up Ex-Devotee’s mentality quite nicely:

“Attack, slander, libel distortion, derision, poor ability to argue properly, ad hominem attacks, breakage of e.g., the Aristotelian ‘law of the undistributed middle’ (confusion, which can be deliberate, of ‘all’ with ‘some’, name-calling and muck-raking (whether the muck is real, fabricated or exaggerated) are inevitable. Just as inevitable is the timidity of those who could stand up, and need to be the very ones to stand up, for truthfulness, and who do not...Trying to reason with them is but wrestling in a gutter of their choosing. One has best to trust that there are enough serious, percipient and less easily misled readers, and to focus on one’s own clear purpose. This in itself is demanding of great time and energy. Why waste it attempting to beat back the lava of sludge and in breathing the vapors of the sewer?”

Funny enough, Barry Pittard wrote this article just nine days after Robert Priddy (Pittard’s friend and co-conspirator) claimed that Sathya Sai Baba is a cross-dressing “transvestite” who looks like a “transvestite drag queen or hira” (Ref). Typical Anti-Sai hypocrisy.
