I think many people here got their nose out of joint because he didnt invite so called survivors to testify.
"So-called survivors"? Wow, that revealed a lot. You sure your name isn't Alonzo Woodbury?
Look, you've admitted to a lack of knowledge of programs and shown it all too often. If you're to be believed, you've got a half-assed grasp on ASR, but you can't even remember recent administrators names. Now you pontificate, referring to "so-called survivors".
Ever seen the Tranquility Bay documentary? Check out Steve and what he went through, especially his description of High Impact. I don't hesitate to call Steve and the posters here survivors, they all endured mental and physical abuse on a level
you are clueless about. Don't attempt to downplay what these people went through. It's like referring to "so-called" survivors of the Holocaust.
You can speak your mind, defend your view of programs, but don't toss off incredibly demeaning slights like without expecting some righteous rebukes. You have no right to insult program survivors, and you certainly have no idea what it's like to be in an abusive program.
Shut up and read, and try having "an open mind", like you tell your critics to have.
