Share, thank you for the response; I am shocked actually as I expected a "no response" approach to my last post to you. Are you into anger based on the accusations I leveled at you? I could respond to your post in more detail later tonight but I'm not sure why I would do this. Do you think there is any point in me doing this? Do you think there is anything here to discuss?

AND what I've come to think is an even more telling indicator of cultishness, thinking that those who don't agree with the cult and its leader are almost all negative. So when the writing of a FFL person expresses such extremely polarized thinking, then I think that person is fundamentally aligned with the group I've been calling wts. For example, Judy has labeled me the most toxic person AND labeled Robin's WTS intentions the absolute highest and purest. I think these phrases indicate extremely polarized thinking as expressed by the use of verbal superlatives. The problem with such extremely polarized thinking IMO is that it totally misses an essential truth about us human beings, which is that we are all a mix of positive and negative and that most of us are mostly positive with a a glitch or two thrown in to keep us embodied and growing. And some of us have more and or bigger glitches. Another essential truth is that we humans are going to make mistakes whether our glitches are big or little, few or many. In regards to this I have also noticed that a big feature of extremely polarized thinking is that it does not allow for making mistakes, learning from them and forgiveness. This too I think is very harmful. As far as I'm concerned it's up to you to decide if you're a member of wts. I'm only weighing in on this because you and others are STILL bringing it up! BTW this is another indicator of cultishness IMO because it too has an element of being extreme in its expression. Also BTW I keep saying IMO to indicate that I realize what I'm saying is only my opinion based on my observations. Nothing more. Of all the wts people I think you're pretty fluid in your thinking. But you still are sometimes extreme in the negative direction towards me and towards other non wts people like Barry. Often I think your negativity is expressed cleverly and pseudo playfully. Nonetheless the extreme negativity underneath is discernible. And as I say above, this extremely polarized thinking in the negative direction has become for me the clearest indication of someone's being in the group I call wts. PS A very recent example of your extremely negative thinking about me: I made no judgement about Raunchy's grand daughter. I was expressing an opinion about the BENEFICIAL effect I thought John Newton's work would have on Raunchy and the people in her life. IMO both you and Raunchy reached a new low with those posts.
