As far as honest and open communication, I kind of compare it to political correctness. While it might appear to keep the peace, in the long run it creates oppression. It discourages free speech and is a form of censorship. It contradicts the First Amendment.
Part of the reason I left my old Sober Recovery account in 2007 was because I got tired of squirming in my chair in front of my computer like I was sitting on a hard church pew. I'm not even that liberal.
Just a thought, just a thought. . . .this is something I thought was important to share. In some cases it's probably best to observe than to absorb.
