Oh lighten up. Not everything in sobriety has to be so serious. Live, love, laugh
I don't think this thread is funny at all, but I do think that it's gone miles and miles past the turnoff where it was relevant to the spirit of SR, and that being helping others get sober. It's boiled down to a personal grudge match with each side either touting the superior nature of their program, or attempting to shoot holes in the program of others. And I know that once this thread dies down, another will pop up in it's place, and then another, and then another, etc. But frankly it really gets old after a while.

I removed some posts.
It's safe to say this thread has clearly run it's course.
