Have you actually read the FAQ and the forum explanations about what this forum is, and why it exists? Or do you believe if you wish it true, it might become reality? Some people seem to assume fornits is a support group for the abused people from programs. I've seen the owner of this forum specifically state this is not true, and never the intent of the forum. People seeking a support group, will find more support in AA, and I mean that honestly. This is a discussion forum, where people debate the troubled teen industry, treatment in general, and all sorts of other topics. While there might be a group of extremists attempting to purge fornits of anything outside their strict ideology of anti treatment, this is not officially sanctioned, although I do think the admins have sympathies for this group more than say me, or Whooter. We are also entitled to our own opinions on an industry that we ourselves have also been involved with.
If you can't handle honest and open debate, then go to the moderated forums where your admins and moderators can protect you from such scary opinions that me or Whooter or other people might type and post here. Or take a look at the name of who posts threads, if I offend you so much you cannot stomach my views, here's a hint, don't click on my threads. Skip them, believe me I won't mind. But people coming into my threads, and telling me to shut up or go away are wasting their time. I'm not going anywhere, I can assure you of that. As long as fornits exists, I will continue to stop in when I feel like it and share my opinions. I was a troubled teen who went through many different aspects of the industry, and system and everything related to it. People here seem to have an interest in AA, well I have plenty of experience with that too. So I have opinions to share about it, and yes they might differ from the group of people who post here regularly.
It's not like people like me don't exist. It's just most probably aren't willing to put up with the childishness thrown your way on fornits for dare posting something outside of the group think approved ideology. Well if this bothers you, take it up with an admin and ask them to please censor fornits from inconvenient opinions. Or go create your own forum, perhaps there is a desperate need for an AA style support group for the fragile people who can't, or are unwilling to have an open uncensored conversation, that exists here on fornits.
There are some posters here who seem only interested in ending discussion. The people who post disgusting pictures. The people who attempt to blackmail Whooter into silence. The people who threaten families. I am here to promote discussion, I post well thought out threads and take time to post my ideas in a detailed way. Don't you get it? That is the purpose of a discussion forum. So to the people who wish to stifle discussion in the name of not hurting feelings of survivors, or those who wish fornits was a support group for damaged survivors, I suggest you go look up the meaning of discussion forum, and more importantly the FAQ and forum descriptions that explain that this forum is open to all opinions. I find it highly ironic that so many people here seem more interested in ending discussion, than starting new discussions themselves. It's sad that you don't even know the purpose of the forum you want to be your safe haven, because that's just a pipe dream and you will be let down if you think this.
