I think it was Joe who said months ago something about EMF acting in a similar capacity to an exit counselor. Not his exact words - but along that line.

The good part about being able to come here and talk things out is we can all benefit - similar to a group therapy session.

The harder part is dealing with being able to do this when a lot of strong minded, opinionated people are holding diverging and converging viewpoints depending on the subject. That's where the respect comes in - to stay on task with an ISSUE. Not taking things personally. Pointing out "another viewpoint" to address the issue and not name call the person. To deal with our OWN emotions (anger, etc) instead of projecting them onto others. It's all about growth for those who choose it.

RSE isn't about growth in that sense, imo...it's about compliance.
