"I am very familiar with the theory, practice and origins of the approach. I've seen them come and go."
Am I to presume you're not much of a fan of TC's then?
As for coming and going, two of the ones I have worked with have been running fo 20+ years and are highly thought of in the UK. I have seen, first hand, friends who have gone through the TC process and have literally had their lives saved.
OK. Would you rather we discussed the non-TC type ones.
What about another I helped set up and moderate (I no longer participate in it though). One of the moderators is a Doctor (Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist and one of the leading doctros involved in Personality Disorder in the UK). he is simply a moderator, nothing more, nothing less. he has the same "powers" as the three non-professional morderators - the three of us who are moderators are the people who set it up in the first place. He offers no support to members (though he does offer support to us moderators) at all, and signs his posts Dr G.At that group we have 500+ members, around 150 of whom are generally active at any one time.
If someone breaks the rules, they get one warning. If they break them again they're out. We do readmit people, but only after they have apologised and shown understanding for why they were booted.
Like I say though, I've never known anywhere that is free, that has people so adamant that they want the rules their way and not the owners. I've never known it in a pub, or a club, or an art gallery either.
