Thanks, Anon. :smile:
Spots, not to be a wise ass or anything, but I suppose it depends on what the definition of "wrong" is.
I certainly wouldn't sit here and try to make a moral judgement about you or anyone else. So in that sense of the word, if I have an opinion I'm keeping it to myself.
I think it's a mistake, though, to let your anger toward this woman overshadow everything else. In that sense, it's the wrong thing to do.
All other things aside, it may also be a mistake to dismiss questions and criticizms of PURE as babble. I also worry about these people's younger children. Especially about them because that was me. When they packed me off to Straight, I don't think anyone even suspected what was going on. After all, the bad old Seed had been exposed and pared back to the one location treating only adults, so everything was just okee dokee, right?
I think it's a very legitimate concern and, regardless of what Carey might have done or said on another front, I'm interested in this aspect of the situation too.
Yes, I've noticed that we're not getting a lot of new takers. And I've seen this before. That bit about cleaning out older messages to save disk space? Well, I'm a lousey housekeeper, the database isn't even flinching and disk space is pretty cheap. So it's all there for anyone who cares to study the phenomenon. We're not folding, don't worry.
I think just about everyone around here has been seeing injuns behind every bush and reacting to that. I just hope the row is over for now and we can get back to the important stuff.
You're dead on correct, in my view. The most important thing is sharing our experience with people who are considering forced BM for kids under their authority and with kids who are looking for advice about what to do to escape the influence of adults who've already made up their minds and with people coming out of these places, thinking they're probably crazy and all alone in the world.
As far as I can remember, which is usually pretty far, you've never lost your mind and joined in on the more hostile attacks on anyone, even when you're attacked directly. I'm not confused. I know the difference between you and what you say and someone else who says something different. Your credibility remains intact. If anyone has trouble making that distinction, well I can't help that. But I have faith that, in the end, the truth usually wins out, provided no one is able to hide certain facts and protect lies.
God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
