Froderick, you landed in the middle of an ugly brawl. They're really not joking. Nazi really thinks he's a nazi, some anons usually turn out to be Ken, the Über brainwashed program protege who, 30 years later, still revels in the memory of his glory days on staff at Elan and tries hard to relive the experience as completely as possible.
Folks, I know Froderick well enough from a couple of other forums to know that he doesn't go around starting shit. He's a serious and decent guy. He was, or thought he was attacked, and he
fell for it :skull: Froderick, why did you fall for it??
I've read enough of Mary's writings to know she's just as real. And I understand
why you guys are so outraged by some of the things I let fly around here. We only disagree on the best way to respond.
As to why anyone outside Elan would ever take an interest in it, well I can think of a few good reasons. To those of us who spent time in other Synanon based programs, it's about like meeting up with some newly discovered distand cousins. Ever wonder why we all keep coming back no matter how badly you treat us? It's because the similarities among the programs are so obvious to anyone who's taken just a little time reading some of the stories.
No matter how hard Kenny boy tries to convince you that you're all alone in the world, that no one can understand because they weren't there, it's a lie. Not sure exactly what his interest is. Could be money, could be culpability, could be a neurotic need to live Concept. Could be something competely different or all of the above. One thing is clear, though, he has a definite interest in keeping everyone who knows anything about Elan at each other's throats and isolated. Why do you fall for it?
While ya'll have been busy trying to sort out who posted which obscene crap, a congressman in California is pushing for an investigation into the WWASP branch of Synanon programs. If ya'll want to get something done, you might consider cruising on over there (please step over and ignore the flame wars over there) and get up to speed on that.
Then consider writing your congressmen and ask them to investigate Elan for all the same reasons. Or write to the papers covering the story and tell them they've got their work cut out for them. For the most part, they're treating it asif WWASP is
the problem to be solved and, once they're gone, the world will be safe from sadistic mind-fucking child abusers. So straighten them out!
But please don't feed the trolls. It only makes it fun and exciting for them. Me? I will not be manipulated or maneuvered into making monitoring and editing of this forum a full time job. You people are grown and don't need a babysitter. Who the hell would I be, anyway, to decide for you what's fit for you to read or what you may talk about?
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not stamping my feet and demanding anything of anyone. Ya'll can and will do just what you want. I'm just thinking you'll get more out of this (only?) uncensored forum if you focus on getting to know the cool people and ignore those you perceived to be idiots, just like in any public place in the real world.
