There was nothing wrong with Pete 55's post bartacomus.
We have a forum here for people working the 12 steps from a secular viewpoint.
I've learnt a lot from them and I'm not even in AA.
Secular 12 Step Recovery - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information
I'm going to point you back to the rule I started at the top of the thread.
These threads aren't meant to be gladatorial.
We try hard not to stifle discussion but if threads continue to be combative Anna or I will close them down.
how do we (people like sturner and i) stomach people like that.
Here on SR it's easy - I invite you to use the ignore feature if you can't get past replies that infuriate you:
Ignore bothersome members. If there is someone on the forum that bothers you, select the Ignore option on the drop down menu under their name on the post. You won't see any posts from this member again.
I don't think letting something go 'unchallenged' is the worst thing in the world, to be honest.
Sometimes sharing our experience is the best response - but if you really feel it necessary to respond directly, sometimes a PM is better than in a thread, so that the thread can stay open.
