In the previous post we introduced Jody Radzik who was groomed by Sarlo in the info war against all gurus except Osho. Radzik is the author of the Guruphiliac blog and knows how to get a blog banned.
In this post we reveal that Sarlo knew about our blog and removed all traces of posts about from his Yahoogroup.
Sarlo knew about our blog after a Guru Rating Forum list member, Anna Ruiz "anabebe57", copied the first post of "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service" from another list of which she is also a member run by an ex-sannyasin, n0by (Erhard Thomas). "n0by" has been banned from Sarlo's various YahooGroups and Sarlo will immediately ban anyone who posts n0by's words, links or list posts. Anna Ruiz "anabebe57" has also been roughly treated by the misogynistic Sarlo and banned from posting many times. Perversely, Anna attempts to stop the discussion about Sarlo and then seeks his approval on his list. Sarlo obliges by praising and grooming her in how to defend him, even editing her original words and sentiments. It’s classic Sarlo at his most manipulative playing the power game learned in sannyas encounter groups. Anna's behavior is reminiscent of the "Stockholm Syndrome" where a kidnapee falls in love with her captors. Sarlo comes across as hypocritical and slimy to fellow list readers who know the unremitting abuse he has previously meted out to Anna.
Can you find these posts on Sarlo's Guru Rating Forum list? No. Sarlo deleted not only his own posts but also anabebe57's without notifying her or the list! Ironically, Sarlo never deletes libelous post against any person on his list (except Osho!) but he immediately deletes any posts about himself. Similarly, Sarlo has moderated posts critical of Osho sannyasins. One scandalous case is Sarlo's suppression of repeated attempts to alert his list about a compulsive rapist and Osho follower for several decades, Mohan Singh (Michael Lyons), who is being sentenced at this moment for a series of rapes against different women. Jody Radzik eventually covered the story but claimed that Michael Lyons was a Tibetan lama (which he also claimed to be, as well as a “health guru”).
Fortunately we have copies of of the Sarlo's posts which Sarlo tried to suppress which leads us to the conclusion that Sarlo and Radzik had the motivation, ability and history of suppressing "The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service".
Copy and paste these pages around the internet in case Sarlo employs more dirty tricks to suppress the truth from coming out.
Pasted below are copies of the posts which Sarlo deleted including his own successful attempt at grooming Anna Ruiz.

Re: The Truth About Sarlo's Guru Ratings Service
O my, I am a member of Sarlo's Gururatings forum for the past 4 plus years.
Though he and I have shared some battles over my posting habits,
and we have battled on our equal and opposing views on male vs.
female (no more no less than any other *relationship*), I am
loathe to find any pernicious traits as you have outlined here.
Nor am I am privy to the past, what anyone lived through (or didn't)
at Osho's center. Neither have I ever followed any guru, or lived
in close community.
Fame is fickle. Being a leader, spiritual and/or political, or
star-in-the-limelight is replete with a feeding frenzy, be it from the leader
him/herself, their followers or the media.
I ask one question: why resurrect any of this?
For what purpose?

Thanks for your -- in that forum fairly futile --
vote of confidence.
FWIW, "loathe" is a verb, in the ballpark of hate and fear.
"Loath," the adj form, means hesitant, wary, careful,
fearful, etc, may not be the word you intended.

Ah, so much BS, so little time . . .
And who is "Teal Ramonette"?
And who cares?
Hey Annaji, your "sticking up for me" in that hostile zone
is not unappreciated, but there's no need to forward it here.
The toxicity of some of these guys -- and this kind of thing
is EXACTLY why i don't have my full legal name out there,
they publish your address and phone #, forget it! --
is unwelcome, even with your positive note.
Thanks, Sarlo

My purpose in posting this can be filed under *awareness*.
And I won't let anyone be maligned unless I do the maligning.
lol.
p.s. Loathe: "unwilling to do something contrary to one's thinking";
Merriam-Webster on line search.

Mine too!

Seems you are right, though this usage is not given
in the M-W entry for "loathe," only as a variant
on the "loath" page.
So, somewhat obscure but es tut mir leid.
("Leid" apparently being an antecedent of "loathesome,"
though in the above expression it is tamed way down,
meaning simply "i'm sorry.")
