I appreciate that and it’s not just you, it’s the immediate downvoting and pushback in the comments—all of which give the subtext of “you’re wrong to think this way” without any effort to engage/ask questions. If you’re too busy to engage fully, then maybe don’t comment/vote.
I thought your referencing scientology was a tad ironic; the amount of behaviors EAs have done over the last 10 years are what have created the cult narrative around us. It’s the immediate defensiveness against your own kind, someone who identifies with the movement, instead of working to see their perspective or explain your perspective in a kinder tone that’s problematic.
I’m sorry if I came off too harsh with my comment, if you were referring to me. How could I have phrased my points better?
