That thread had evolved since I last saw it! Fun! I'm not really sure if Polecat is a joke or for real, but he <em>is</em> funny and good. Makes me wonder if the gnomes threaten Dawkins's forum with legal action too! Or maybe they avoid making such an ass of themselves. No... there are those who don't know such restraints. (We're talking mainly about <em>one</em> person here... and you're right, there are really no limits to how low that person will sink. He has no life vest of morality to help him stay afloat.) Oh!

It's ludicrous that malicious gnomes shadow people relating their experiences at Steiner waldorf schools. These aren't acts of "noble spirituality"- their inception is base, the ethics of this behaviour amoral. It's happening to me too. I've had personal things posted on the internet about me ever since I told the story of our experiences at Steiner Waldorf, what happened to our children and how anthroposophic beliefs affected their time at the school; my full name and the small town where we live; when I've begged not to have it made public for my children's sake. I've had personal threatening emails too. Pictures of axe men and naked female creatures addressed to me. I've been compared to Hammas, as using the tactics of Jew watch, among others. What is never told, is that forums are continually threatened with legal action. Chilling effect. Close down discussion. The blogosphere is too big now though. There are too many who know about Waldorf. Too many who know about anthroposophy. Particularly in Europe. It's not new- anthrosposophists have been doing it for years. It is the methology of certain groups. Individual gnomes are best ignored; they show themselves up in their desperation, and so desperate they become a burlesque parody. People quickly catch on. The Polecat for instance. http://www.richarddawkins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=30583&p=1719977&hilit=steiner&sid=c5bd560d5b108482f4056fb58abe9070#p2014290 I wonder what effect this has on that gnome's karma? To "feed information" as you put it, to strangers? It surely must have a contaminating effect on spirituality, to spend one's life so fruitlessly. Sorry this is a bit disjointed, I have too much work on atm..... Hi Zooey
