Me, when I post on a message board, I try and remember what kind of communication medium it is. And I also take it upon myself to keep in mind that the person I am answering may or may not be full of sh!t/desperate/angry/confused/fearful/opinionated etc, etc...
In other words, it's not up to me to interpret why a person states: Please tell me about other things aside from AA.
None of my business why/when/or even if this decision is a lucid or delusional one.
Again, keeping in mind the nature of this medium, if I have anything to say to this person, it's incumbent upon me to respect his/her wishes.
I've stopped counting how many newbies that came to SoberRecovery for answers have left angrier than they were when arriving because their simple request wasn't respected.
And I think about a lot of them. Most days.
Carrying the message of recovery I found in AA, in the limited two dimensional way afforded by this medium, simply has to be different than the way I do it in 3D.
That's just a truism many can argue if they want.
It's not a question of right or wrong.
It just is.
