The impression I have from the reports here is that people who have seen other saints *are* allowed to participate in the course if they sign a statement vowing never to do so again. Not good, obviously, but at least the TMO seems to believe in the possibility of redemption. <snip> > I suggest all of this as a way to help the more > balanced posters here feel more compassion for some > of the more strident voices among them.

Funny, I've seen very little in the way of "demonizing" of those with "extracurricular interests" here lately. In fact, most of the demonizing seems to be going in the other direction (as in this post of Barry's).
