I'm the last person who would try to convert people to use AA. I'm not sure I've ever shared here in Secular, I only did so to show support to Ananda, who is a friend.
My reply to Eroica was not intended to be inflammatory, not at all.
Ananda posted to share her frustration over this very topic, and it seems, to me, inconsiderate that anyone would use this thread as a vehicle for their own opinion.
