One of the more valuable things I have learned in recovery is practicing defenselessness. I benefit greatly from relinquishing my need to defend my point of view. I get lots of practice here.

SR’s rules often seem condescending and enforcement has little or no regard to the intent of the poster. If we were a bunch of healthy people inquiring into the nature of addiction this would be very difficult to swallow. We are not, and SR is about support using more or less conventional notions of recovery. SR fulfills this role pretty well, so be nice, supportive, and don’t run with scissors. When you realize your Buddha nature, cure yourself, or God removes your defects of character, you can be as argumentative as you want to be…
