IMO, the fellowship/groups didn't want anyone dictating how they conducted their meetings...Tradition 4 stuff, ya know?
I am glad nobody said anything to me when I USED to introduce myself as an addict/alcoholic, it was HERE I learned differently.
Contrary to the experience of some, your experience mirrors what happens daily in groups that have a Clarity Statement in their formats. IMO, a lot of members don't make a big deal out of it...some learn soon, some learn later.
