That applies to responses you get on forums.
I thought about this before I said thank you, decided to say thank you, but then thought about whether this was really a consistent value with the original intent of the 12 steps or something that got tagged on to the program in slogan form.
I think there has to be a perspective to this: we should leave what we don't like because it was not really 'good' , 'healthy', not consistent with the 12 steps. However, sometimes we gotta take what we don't like. It's part of the growth and discovery process. :-) I might like it later but I don't always like being challenged about my "stuff" at the time.
