Reply #43: That's quite a life you've had so far.

Your experiences have made you wise beyond your years.

I knew one survivor who counseled kids who ran away from cults.
She said basically the same thing, it's very traumatic and can screw up your life for years.
The stories she told me were the stuff of nightmares.


I agree with your assessment of the ridiculous paranoia about low post count on DU. That's the reason I lurked for a long time before posting as well.
And it's MUCH worse now.
I loathe the "I disagree so you must be a freeper" mentality.

Ironic isn't it?
That type of intolerance smacks of freeperesque reasoning.
