Except that it's useful to expose it for what it is since it touts itself as a support group. I'm going on there and posting here to discourage people from posting there who would otherwise attempt to use it as a support group, not just because it's anti ASC and that I'm offended by it, which I am.


Same here. I feel bad for anyone who might go to AS Partners looking for support, and instead find a lot of prejudice and bad advice.

When people band together against a common enemy, they can be very tight with each other. I can see how it might feel very cozy, especially if a person doesn't know where else to look for support. The only problem is that groups like that can turn against their own too.

OK. It was the coincidence of my writing "Don't go there and don't waste tour time trying to learn from them. " and your saying "so telling someone they are wasting their time is really rude." that made me suspect your comments were directed at me.


Well, I don't know why you are calling it a coincidence. What I said does apply to your post. I thought what I said was pretty direct and to the point, and nothing at all passive aggressive about it. It just wasn't meant only for you personally.
