evaderci,
Sorry they derailed your discussion. There are many here who do care and are supportive. Hope you are able to find some understanding and peace.

Lemme echo that bolded part.
Re. the derailers: they could even be one person, masquerading as many, with not much more to contribute other than a whole lot of verbal diarrhea focussed on "Danny" and "Wayne."
@evaderci: I'm curious, did you ever encounter people like this — who would hijack the group discussion — during your participation in Synanon's "The Game?" Given your age at the time, were those synanons comprised solely of other kids, or did they sometimes, or always, include adults as well?
