I don't stay away from the mall simply because I don't like one of the stores there... I just stay out of that store... but that's just me...
I don't think folks are any different here than anywhere else... us folks who frequent the GSC might have a higher emotional level than other places where humans gather given that most all of us were involved in a cult that primarily used emotional manipulation and therefore are more "on guard"... I don't know... there are places I don't go here because I don't get any particular enjoyment out of them, there are posters I might choose not to read because I simply don't want to, but there's enough variety in both posts and posters that I can always find something I enjoy... and enough variety in posts and posters that I like coming around.
I don't know anything about any of this... I just figure people are people, everywhere... here on the net, live and in person...
...I'm still trying to figure out why either of these threads are in the "About the Way" section...
