Not necessarily. There are many reasons for a person to leave. Sometimes it's because of some personal circumstances, and sometimes they are not ready yet for the Work as practiced here. There are many members who left, only to return months or years later after they have dealt with some external or internal issues in their lives. Others have left never to be seen again, but that's how life is, everyone has the free choice, and we respect that: No judgment and no hard feelings. The doors are open both ways.Kay Kim said:I think, right-minded person never leave this forum.

Better works to say something provocative, absurd and with a bit of humor.
"You want to leave. Yeah go away, you think we will cry because of it? :) It is 21st century, it's clear that not everyone is such organized and resourceful to find some free time. Forum membership is absolutely free, but better delete account, especially that thanks to entering here from time to time with spending here minimum of time and viewing only your favorite topics you may hit something intriguing and valuable for you."

If someone asks you for therapeutic help (such as provocation) by all means give it to them :).

Persuasion isn't equivalent of manipulation. I don't using lie as entity.
Provocative approach also does not necessary take away free will. Rather allow to discover new resources of individual, as long as provocative language is used properly regard to him. I mean, until not become vulgar or agressive.

Manipulation doesn't always use lies - with or without lies, often it's based on appealing to emotions. I tend to agree with whitecoast on this one, the approach would basically be a way to "push someone's buttons" to get them to respond in the way you want, based on trying to "determine the needs of another" for them.
Notice that almost always it's the "push someone's buttons." Music in the shopping center or smile to other person. This is pressing buttons.
I think right attitude is not repeat: "its manipulation. It's bad!" But learn technology and learn how to use it for own and others good.
You wrote it yourself! A perfect strategy for manipulating others! Make them feel safe so they open up so you can know their weak spots! :Pwhitecoast said:Smiling at a stranger fosters a safe environment where the other can freely open dialogue
Couldn't agree more and everyone has different paths to follow so bye for now. Personally the forum is such a fabulous resource it would stagger me if people don't come back.mkrnhr said:Not necessarily. There are many reasons for a person to leave.

Hello Kay Kim, it's me who posted this question. I'm on the forums since October 2012. I have noticed lately many subscribers, and then a lot of cancellations. What amazed me are not terminations, but that those who terminated their account were making posts for their terminations. Why dramatize its release? If you go why turn on his way, they forget something, they regrètent something or they hope something? And why people do it at the same time, whereas before I had never noticed this kind of termination! It started just after the massive registrations. Finally this is what I think and the strong intuition that I had, is that a group had infiltrated to negatively influence registered (people of the forum) .. The coincidence seems too high ..Kay Kim said:I think, right-minded person never leave this forum.
Keyhole said:The reason i am saying this is because many people may simply have come across certain information is here that is simply to difficult to 'digest' at their stage of development and which may conflict with their currently held beliefs about reality, so in order to block out these conflicting feelings and to avoid facing the uncomfortable truths, they seek to find reasons for leaving this forum and may choose to leave because of this. But this does not mean that they are necessarily wrong for this, it only means that they may still have some lessons to learn until they are ready.
