Debating controversial subjects should be taken elsewhere. Limited references are allowed, but the forums should not be used to convert others. Do not post content or links to and from sites that flame someone's person, religious beliefs, race, national background, sexual orientation, or recovery program/method. It is inappropriate to promote the use of alcohol or drugs on our addiction recovery forums.
Thank you, Morning Glory. However, I'm not sure I see the connection? Not being difficult, I just don't see what part of this rule applies to the Orange Papers. We have a lot of posts regarding AA, both positive and negative; this is just one more, as I see it. And I don't understand how my comment-- that I had read the information on the link and thought it was interesting-- would be taken as breaking the rules. Other people posted comments about the Orange Papers that actually took a stance for or against them-- "interesting" is fairly neutral, by comparison. Unless it was the actual link itself from when I quoted Rob.

If this would be better off-thread, feel free to PM me. Thanks again.
