Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Message for
« on: March 06, 2002, 11:17:00 AM »
Seems to me that most of everything I see on this board is anti-Straight. I am not sure who your coments are directed at....but I find it offensi that you made the generalization of everyone defending the merits of Straights tough love bullshit. If this was directed at an individual, please say so....otherwise maybe you should look around a bit before passing judgement. I spent a year in Straight, and I dont advocate a single shre of what went on there. I noticed in another post that you berated Kathy for being ignorant of Straight and that if she wanted the real story, you could give it. Well, I hate to burst your bubble and your offer of "peace", butmost of us here have "the story" to give as well. A first hand story. Your idea of "coming in peace" sounded very much like something that would have came straight from a staff members mouth in group. Also, we are entitled to our opinions here....people may not always agree....but there seems to be level of respect that accompanies the arguments that occur on this board. If you want some people to school on ignorance and petty arguments, check out the Yahoo board for Straight Survivors.
As far as I can tell everyone's story and point of view is welcome here without the threat of being put down or berated, please keep that in mind for the future. I would be happy to hear your story, as it is a healing process for many to recount what happened with others that understand.
Just a little note: I re-read your post and I that I may have mis-interpreted, if you meant you comments to be directed at "those out there who believe in tough love" to be people actually in the world rather than on this board, then please disregard my post.
