Credibility.
It has been acknowledged on some posts that this board is deficient in the credibility dept. It is a good place to take a head dump, but outside people don't understand firsthand the Straight experience.
Everybody needs to take head dumps. Our experience can help others (especially former clients), even if it is our stinky Straight experience.
But, it was mentioned that this forum smacked of the same cultiness that Straight did. I happen to agree with that view. Are we going to form a "cult" to destroy another "cult"? It won't happen this way.
Our emotions are a part of what makes us human, but it is important that we master them. What do I mean by that?
I mean that our principles should be made more clear and we should keep the principles first. What are they?
Without principles are we not a bunch of monkeys running around yelping and howling in misery and pain!? I tell you apart from meaningful principles we are wounded, tripping baffoons on barstools nursing a cold one while plotting revenge against the Blue Meanies!
I agree with some of what I see on the boards. But we're fooling ourselves if we think that we are going to change people's minds through force. Isn't that the very thing that screwed US up in the first place?
On the other hand, maybe just getting to say anything that we feel is "right". After Straight, I guess any free speech is healthy. We have the right to be ugly if we feel it. I'm just trying to open up some conversation because......I'M LONELY! I feel like the Cable Guy.
Thank you.
Down with the Blue Maaaynnnaaiise!
