In no way did I appoint myself spokesperson, but rather I posted an observation and commentary about Hyde and some posters on this website.
Ok, you didn't officially say you were a spokesperson but you sure came on here implying you had a good deal of knowledge about Hyde and I was asking you about it.
I'm not in a postion to answer many of these questions, so therefore they need to be addressed elsewhere. I'm not going to spend my time doing your legwork for you. If you want to know, ask someone at Hyde School.
You are in a position to answer questions about your understanding of how Hyde works. Your impressions and why you feel that way aren't you? I'm not asking for Hyde's explanation, I've read what they have to say. I'm asking
you why
you feel the way
you do.
Your initial response to my post is as follows:
Why is it that anyone that has any criticism about Hyde is automatically labeled as "misguided" or "angry" or "disgruntled" or "not working their program" or "immature" or "haven't looked at their own issues" or "disturbed" or......well, you see what I'm getting at.
Do you people ever answer for your own behavior? I also notice that you guys go after the easy targets here. Kids (or grown adults now) are angry. They've got a right to be. Some lash out and get a little outrageous here, I've got no problem with it....I get it. But there are also people here who are asking relevant questions and y'all ignore those and always seem to find the time to address the angry posts. What about answering some of the salient questions and concerns that have been posted?
Sounds like a lash to me. I can understand why people would ask you to go away. You probably get comments like that wherever you slither. I'd prefer not to address you anymore, as you're pretty much a waste of time and energy. Thanks for understanding.
I don't think that was an attack. Lashing out in frustration, maybe. It seems that any time anyone has a criticism of Hyde they automatically dismissed as being one of those things I mentioned above. Aside from the tone the point is valid. You just will not engage in any discussion about your beliefs or what you've posted here. I haven't called anyone names, that I recall, although I have been known to do that too sometimes.
Here's a peace offering. Let's start over. Let's be civil and adult and discuss the issues. I apologize for my frustrated and arrogant tone. I seriously would like to know more about this place. From everything I've read, including the supportive things, about Joe Gauld it reminds me of Miller Newton and that interests me very much. I've seen and researched a lot of these places and I haven't come up against one that reminds me of him in quite the way that Gauld does. If I'm wrong I promise, I'll admit it but the things I've seen so far disturb me greatly. Since you seem to have so much faith in him I would honestly like to hear why. Even if I don't agree with you it might give both of us a better understanding of the others point of view. Deal? ::dove::
