Sometimes you people really piss me off! WTF do you think I do this for anyway? So we all can commiserate each other forever? Well it's nice when that works out ok but, frankly, wherever 2 or 3 former Straightlings may gather for any purpose, it's wise to carry a big stick in case you're the unlucky 4th.
No, that never was the point of this whole project. The point was to get the story out to and to generate some real (self)interest among the uninitiated. So now comes Oz, who started out looking for somebody to tell her just wtf kind of monsters had her niece. I'd give my eye teeth to have had just one relative willing to stand up for me like that instead of a bunch of former staffers and proud Seedlings. So now she wants to write a book, not for us to read and pass around, but for normals like herself so that they can understand this whole bizarre phenomena.
Not that I'm gonna tell anybody what they must and musn't do, but jeeze, man! Can't you give her a little help or at least common courtesy?
Thanks, Carmel, that is exactly the point! So much of what goes on in that place was all about arbitrary, senseless compliance and fear. The more nonsensical the better, as that has a disorienting effect. Ever have a friggen oldcomer make you motivate at home? Some people just got way too into it.
