I hadn't checked this e-mail address for a few days because I was very busy with other matters.
It is for that reason that I was unaware of the latest brouhaha concerning Ron and Leslie Germaine, until Ron himself made me aware of it yesterday; via an alternate e-mail address I use.
Having thus had the "advantage" of reading these e-mail messages from earliest to latest, just now; it appears that, indeed, the consensus of opinion is to keep Ron *on* the list by an approximate score of 21 against Ron to 49 for Ron (including me).
The first time I ever contacted Ron, I did so civilly; and he reciprocated in-kind. This was probably about 10 years ago, and it has been a very pleasant long-distance relationship ever since.
I only regret that I will probably never get to Australia to meet him. I think it would be a hoot...
As Don Miguel Ruiz says in his 1997 book of Toltec wisdom -- _The Four Agreements_: "Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and so is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering."
There are a lot of victims of needless suffering on this list.
I am immune to Leslie Germaine; he/she has no power that [you] don't give her...
