Ginger, what does it take to start a new forum? This one has degenerated into a bickering, smarmy hate-fest. I hoped to use this world-wide information platform to sway public opinion, much as the media has done, to consider the BASIC abuses of brainwashing such as WWASPS has done. No more.
Congratulations, you 10 or so people, many of you hiding behind your convictions instead of standing up for them. You have ruined it. I saw this happen with the anti-soring group trying to stop the appalling torture to Tennessee Walking Horses for peoples' pleasure in show classes. That disintegrated into bitter in-fighting, while the tortorturers continue on to this day.
Take a look at ISAC and Straight survivor groups. They are organized and professional, and they really want to help us stop WWASPS. Sit in front of your computers, you vengeful people, and snipe and whine. You have destroyed your best bully pulpit. I would be embarassed to refer a questioning parent to this site...and he would probably go more for the glossy brochures and false video because at least it is straightforward.
Is there a way to create a forum WITHOUT anonymous postings? That seems to be my only hope. I need this public exposure. I am not fighting for revenge. It's not done for me. All you Northwestern Visons groupies, looking for validation for your dismal parenting skills...all you WWASP "regretters" who still sent your kids off to who-knows-where without any overseeing by you, all you miserable parents whose children only call occasionally now that they are "free"...congratulations. You can all keep up the fight as your ship sinks.
I'd like to take Facekhan, Deborah, Mo, Karen, Lynn and Scott, and a few others and move on, out of this deep dark wood and into the light. There's work to be done, and Anons don't have a clue.
Goodbye.
