Earlier in this thread, I said
I'd rather do that whole sick scene again for just one night than get the continual ass kicking and harrassment I'd get for the crime of trying to escape my ever loving Group.
Then T... woops! Ft. Lauderdale, who must never ever be named for some damned reason I can't understand, said:

But that gives you no excuse to say that anyone that had a good experience with the seed was in your words "mind fucked". I never "mind fucked" with anyone and I resent that whole tone and personally find it quite offensive.
Actually if anyone is stuck in the past. It appears to be you. This whole thing is getting old fast. I think you love to hate and you want to hate. I guess you kinda get off on it. Why else would you rip to shreads anyone that has anything good to say about their experience. I quite frankly have had enough of your crap. It just repeats itself over and over and over. I really hope you some day come to terms with your issues. You definatly have them weather you want to see it or not. I wish you well. I think you really need help. I hope you get the help you need.
Yeah! That. Just exactly that is what I had to finally run from. Here, it doesn't hurt at all. It's just words on a web page. There's no threat behind it. I don't have to thank you for it, pretend you're right or that I'm a horrible person or wrong or mistaken. You can't start me over or induce Group to keep on harrassing me till I break down.
Ft. Lauderdale, maybe you need a little help? Marshall nailed it, I think. It's not the individuals so much as the organization. Blame the game, not the players, ya' know? Don't take it so damned personally, alright? I'm trying to help you, darlin! Really and for true!
I remember some good times. I remember some good singing, some playing in the pool w/ my brother and his newcs, the New Crusty Nostrils. And I remember Art's charisma. He really was a charming man. No wonder so many people bought in. But there is an undeniable dark side to it all.
Now, how can you come around to a point where you don't get all bent out of shape every time someone mentions any of the negative aspects of it all? What can we do to help you get your head straight about it?
The orientation of the public school in and of itself disenfranchises the poor. It suggests that only the student can be held responsible for failure; the institution, because of its position and strength in society, is unassailable.
