Again, stop wasting your time replying. I'm well aware of MAASIN's mission because, again, I'm a whistleblower who has used their services and had positive outcomes. But thanks for advertising for them to the people who might actually find their services useful like I did. Referring back to why I responded the way I did: 10 minutes ago, Brass of the South said: Yup! I’m sure “anti-imperialism” is the main focus of saving the activity right now! Nobody is claiming that anti-imperialism is the main focus of anyone or that it's saving the activity right now. I was responding to this sarcastic non-argument. Am I wasting my time replying because you think you're right or because you think dialogue is not worth being had here? I'm not sure how shutting down dialogue about this is productive.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t care about any other “values”. Perhaps listening to some of the people who have endured abuse (like myself, or several of the others on DCP who have been open about the abuses they endured) or those who have supported other survivors would be a good place to start? You don't have to agree with their values, but listening to them and what drives them could be helpful in turning the tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 1 hour ago, Brass of the South said: Spare me your useless PR spin. Why are the organizations not separate? Surely dedicating a sole focus to survivor support and then a separation to whatever adventures you want will serve you better. I’ve made my point pretty clear and understandably, I’ve had nothing but negative interactions with your leadership and this slight air of smugness demonstrates the illegitimacy of your organization. Answer this question, are you more focused on membership safety or “anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist” rhetoric. I seriously hope that someone new knows how to setup a true system that provides proper response and resources without the agenda. so, how do you really feel?  i'll wait for your misinformation fountain to spew further 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnZ Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think this is a good time to close and reboot. Feel free to take a few cleansing breaths and start a new discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
