LOL. No doubt.
AVRT scares the hell out of Beasts, and they often run for cover initially. I was reluctant to put Wonderland's Beast on the spot so soon, since she hasn't read the RR book yet, but this exchange is a case in point. For better or worse, AVRT sometimes requires persistent, patient questioning in order to draw out the Beast and expose the Addictive Voice. Hopefully she won't take it personally and decide to come back.
Some lurkers probably just read this thread, and then go on their way, having no desire to post. Others, though, are probably quite conflicted as they read through the posts. I can just imagine what's going through their minds...
Lurker:"Maybe I should post on that AVRT thread, those people seem to be kicking their addictions."
Lurker's AV: "I don't know, those AVRT people seem like big meanies. Maybe we should post on a more supportive thread instead."
