wow. this thread is reminding me of all of those endless, pointless, Hyde seminars where people just kept going after each other and their attitudes. how many times did I just check out because I couldn't take it anymore? Has anyone else noticed in recent posts how much Hyde lingo creeps in?
"Step up to the plate and tell the truth" is an example from a recent post on this thread.
What is truth, anyway? Such a subjective concept.
It might be fun to try to compile a list of Hyde-isms.
Anyone else want to contribute?
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," comes to mind.

THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE - "Apparently of Eastern origin, it is frequently used to assert the continuity of family characteristics. Quot. 1839 implies return to one's original home. Cf. 16th century Ger. 'der Apfel fellt nicht gerne weit vom Baume,' the apple does not usually fall far from the tree." From "The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs" by John Simpson and Jennifer Speake (Oxford University Press, Oxford and New York, Third Edition, 1998).

As you can see from the previous exchange, attacking one's courage and integrity is par for the course. If you don't praise the school and its methods, you weren't honest. According to the dipshit who had the temerity (and the dishonesty) to attack my integrity, I didn't earn my diploma and faked it all because I didn't denounce the school during my senior evaluations. Actually, at the time, I really tried to buy into what was going on. You can't fake what I accomplished there. The passage of years made me understand how much I truly hated it. But you can't reason with these people, and frankly, it's not worth the effort. If you don't toe their line you're a liar and a coward. Fuck 'em, I'm living my life my way...and speaking my mind.

If the shoe fits, wear it. If not throw it away.
When in doubt I will bet on the truth; still in doubt I will bet on more truth.
I will listen and not act defensively.
I will stay out of my ego as much as possible.
I will try not to take coments personally.
Etc., etc., etc.
I've had to sit through those often pointless seminars run by people who often were inept. Often it fee;s like the blind leading the blind where the only language allowed in the room is the superficial Hyde robot-speak. Some of these ideas are fine. In the hands of the typical Hyde staff this stuff is usually like water off a duck's back - no traction or substance. Often I see parents rolling their eyes at each other as the Hyde groupies go through their paces. Lots of people just play Hyde's goofy game so that their troubled kids have a place to attend school for the year.

Yup, say anything that's critical of Hyde and they think you're a dishonest fraud. Tell Hyde staff what you really think and to them it's merely evidence that you haven't bought into the Hyde BS. The truth that Hyde refuses to hear is that there are some really smart, perceptive people out here who realize that much of what happens at Hyde is psychobabble par excellence. The Gaulds and their compatriots are really good at spin and packaging. They know how to take a few good headlines and turn them into a marketable commodity that desperate parents will buy. The wise parents quickly find out that Hyde's model is a house of cards. Hyde seems to hate people like Lars who gave it their best while at Hyde and later begin to "get it" that Hyde is a very bad school. Hyde can't handle that kind of maturity and wisdom, it's too threatening.
