Joe:

You make some remarkable points! In a way it IS paranoia the way they were sniffing me out.  The first caller said he wanted to avoid a situation where I could potentially disrupt the event.  But your insightful comments make me realize the extent to which I was attempting to rationalize their otherwise distasteful behavior.  They may have gotten my name from the list of names posted on ex-premie.org.  My intuition tells me there are many premies, maybe even Maharaji himself, reading this forum. Thanks for the reality check.
