One more point. I think the real reason it was
so hard for you to continue posting, and why my
posts pissed you off, was that I wouldn't let you
get away with anything.
You had put together a nice little story for
yourself as to why you had left the movement, but
it was all vague generalities. When you were asked
for specifics, you were unable to come up with
anything that actually supported the generality.
The story existed in a vacuum; it wasn't
connected to reality, and it couldn't stand up
to challenge.
You had a tremendous investment in that story,
and when you saw it being picked apart and shown
to be without foundation, that was extremely
threatening to you. You expended a tremendous
amount of effort coming up with a huge bunch of
rationalizations to prop the story up so you
could continue to believe in it, at the same
time standing on your head to avoid confronting
the issue of how well it related to reality.
I am *not* suggesting you didn't have perfectly
good reasons to leave the movement, but that,
for some reason, the real reasons were unpalatable
and unsatisfying, hence the invented story (Lifton
and "suggestibility" a la Joe Kellett and so on).
