Thank you for the responses.
Jade, thank you for providing your views of the situation. I know you are human and I do not hold blame on you or the founders and maintainers of this community.
I honestly actually feel sorrow for you all. I would like to share these links with you, and ask that you as a moderator please PLEASE consider opening an investigation with the moderation and administrating team to be on watch for people being unhealthily influenced by others here by themes that seem to fall under the following:
https://www.cultwatch.com/howcultswork.html
https://www.cultwatch.com/cultic-warning-signs.html
https://www.cultwatch.com/are-you-in-a-cult.html
https://www.cultwatch.com/how-to-leave-recover.html
Please note I choose to share a Christian site and their classic perspective on cult behavior. There's a lot of resources I could've used to say this place is a cult, but I do not think it is, rather I think this is as that site says, a positively influenced group with cult themes present.
That doesn't make this place a cult but it does give people ammunition to use against this place, and this community is still responsible for how it makes others feel at least partially.
Is it asking too much to be on the look out for those behaviors? I know I'm new and came barging in with all of this stuff that has led to many interesting encounters, that I'm bombastic... In ways no better, and am hypocritical. Yet I see no concerns there because that's who I am, and I don't really embrace or deny it, I don't really know it, being myself.
I just know that something should be done when something like this happens. At least try for me. You say you love him, then please, also try for him. Please, I will literally beg and grovel. Find what it is he's warning you all about here. For him, for others. I am trying to... And honestly, I could use all the help I can get.
