I heard no "blaming"

Someone, who IS sober, for a year, stated that they did not attend AA meetings and this is a reason why.

That's it. No blame. No suggestion that AA meetings are hot beds of violence. No telling others to stay away.

Then it is said they are silly, hiding from life and letting their AV keep them from recovery.

Perhaps it is not welcome here, but maybe worth pointing out how people who speak of their experience are belittled if it does not make glowing report of everything AA. As if their experience is invalid, and their recovery questionable.

Happens here quite regularly.

AA people swoop in to shut them down.

Their simple statement was twisted, and that is not right.
