Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 <<certified this, certified that>><br><br>Why are you so obsessed about certification? Here in central Europe there are not too many certified teachers around. Actually, I've never even seen a certified teacher, nevertheless I've had several good and dedicated Ashtanga-teachers. Judging teachers only by certified/non-certified is naive.<br><br>ps. why do you write on several different accounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 > ps. why do you write on several different accounts? <br><br>Yes, what is up with that?... it's pretty transparent so why do it? <br>Personally, I like you for what you are, but as every increasing muliple identities appear I begin to wonder.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hi ya,<br><br>I have family south of Nashville. Where 'bouts do you do your yogathang down there?? I suppose Franklin would be the place but..hmmm..parts of TN do not seem yoga friendly places, in my haughy-arsed opinion..hehe.<br><br>Good to see some Nashvillian's here!<br><br>Robin M.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 I must admit I haven't seen any evidence here of whatever argument Omprem is claiming he had about Sivananda yoga either. How long ago did this supposedly take place I wonder?<br><br>I have however experienced his endless battles with those of us who don't like that he carries on like a tightly-wound bigot. Nothing more jarring than to see Omprem's anti-Hindu graffitti at a placed where the Hindu tradition should be celebrated.<br><br>So Omprem doesn't like the Sivananda style - so what? Let him start a club where that is the topic. Why can't he just focus here on Ashtanga, or whatever variation of Ashtanga he's inventing and selling, and leave the rest of us out of this stupid fight he thinks he's having with some guy who isn't even here? Or did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Are you saying these two are really the same person?<br><br>Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 I have been reading the posts right along and cannot agree with you. Some of the people you name have objected to your racism and religious intolerance, and have asked you to stop harrassing them for saying so. I agree with them. Does that make me now the same person as you think they are? Do you think any who disagree with you are part of a vast conspiracy?<br><br>Others here are interested in your Ashtanga teacher qualifications, since you pontificate without specifying your credentials. Still others appear to be convenient devices recently created by you for your rather transparent self-made drama.<br><br>Guess you spend all day on the internet pissing people off, as evidenced by the founder of another club posting his complaints about you here. Grow up. Yoga is a treasure. Ashtanga yoga is the treasure of treasures. This is a pace for people interested in celebrating that.<br><br>Someone recently posted the real name and website address of the guy you imagine is causing you all these uncontrollable outbursts. He appears to welcome all inquiries from the public.<br><br>Maybe it is too obvious a question to ask, but why don't you just email him or give him a call and tell him every little reason why you hate him too, instead of embarrassing yourself here where your raggedy personal fantasies are of interest to no one?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Wow, looks like I've stumbled on a nest of nutcases. Thanks for the heads up. But how can you tell that all these guys are the same person?<br><br>Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Careful, he'll lump you in with the rest of us. Personally have no problem with it. Been an honorary lesbian all my life. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY...please STOP!<br><br>y'know what. WHO CARES if everyone IS the same damn person. WHO CARES? why does it matter? what is your point? I think it would be a masterful feat of genius if one person was responsible...the time, the effort, the imagination, the sheer skill...<br><br>come to think of it..y'know what...okay you got me.<br>Secret's out.<br><br>I am everyone. <br>me. And I have been put upon this planet to drive you, Omprem, mad with paranoia. <br><br>That's why I don't post more often...I am so busy with all my other aliases. I may argue with myself about this later as other people, but don't believe me, as that will just be me trying to drive you mad.<br><br>Can this insane, pointless and tired issue die now? <br>with its loving family by its side. In peace. <br><br><br>Good god, man! <br>Earth is nice this time of year, join us wouldja?<br><br><br>Lilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 You must be psychic, Junie. Omprem did just what you said he would. WAIT - MAYBE YOU ARE HIM. If not, please by all means consider your honorary lesbian status hereby further extended by me. Such siddhis as yours could only have been developed through an honest, steady Ashtanga practice.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 Dude, sorry but this is bullshit. Do you really believe that or do you just call them all the same thing to piss them off? <br><br>S<br><br>Am I omboy too now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
