I'm no Sam Hyde fan (sorry!) but I share his sentiment about this issue. Every single other poster here has introduced him/herself with a brief description of their background with the SES, whether lengthy or brief. A simple "I have a friend who is a member" or "I was once in one of the children's schools" would suffice - without going into any other detail. Yet, Justice! has not done that, but continues to start many threads. It seems to me that he/she is simply anti-cult, which is fine, I am certainly anti-cult. And yet, if I were to post on a website that was a forum to discuss a specific one, I'd have something particular to discuss about that cult, rather than just general anti-cult info.
ETA: I don't think that anyone should be forced to reveal personal information if that person does not want to, and as a public forum, Justice has every right to post here as long as he adhere's to the rules of the board.
However, as I've said before, this board discusses topics of a very personal and intense nature, and I, personally, don't want to discuss those topics unless I know the background of the person I'm talking with.
