I've been writing a book for several years (on a mostly part-time basis) - and I cruise these boards looking for people who were in the program.
I am not looking for people who had only a negative experience - I'm looking for people who had AN experience.
This board isn't just for those who loathe the program. It's for anyone who was IN the program.
Now, I understand what you are saying to the exsafecounselor, but you should understand that maybe his experience WAS different than yours.
You know how we're always on our best behavior when the boss is looking? But if the boss isn't there, well, maybe we aren't in a rush to get back after lunch, or maybe we chat and laugh more. And so maybe, just maybe - when exsafe was around - they didn't do the things they did - when he wasn't around. Or maybe any number of scenarios. Maybe the program wasn't abusive when he was there. I wasn't there, so I don't know. But the thing is - his experience is his experience. And whether you agree with him or not, maybe he's on this site for the same reasons you are - one of which being that he was there, so that qualifies him to be here.
And by the way - if anyone is interested - I'm still looking for more participants from SAFE for my book! E-mail me!
