I don't really think it's exactly about second chances and such. Most of us I'm sure, are willing to work and communicate with pretty much anyone who is working on themselves and "with their fruit they shall be known." (something like that).
It's the lies and deception that I'm worried about. These guys have been around here for a time. Did they start with mal intent? I don't think so. However I think they became starry eyed thinking they were special. Saying one thing, but meaning another. Like the title of this thread, first of all. That should have been the most major red flag I've ever seen!!
I've seen many forum members have some serious issues, even bans at times. One of our most awesome members was banned, then she came back and proved to us all she was a (truly) special person. Pepperfriz (RIP).
It is a matter of finding out all of these details that are not being shared. We can't understand exactly how to wrap our minds around it all until there are some very specific answers and then acknowledgement of said mistakes. Then tons of self work, self reflection and change.
People are not 'disallowed' to try these experiments, only WARNED by someone who has been there. But the dangers are extreme (and Real!) and if you believe anything from the get-go, you're in very big trouble, not just by the forum, but to oneself! It's not a game.
What really frightens me, is that being that they put so much work into this board, they will most likely use it again. I hope not, but it may be a constant draw for them.

April said:c.a. said:And may i ask why would any one bring a loaded weapon to invite to some ones home. That in it self speak's volumes of personal issues of fear,and paranoia, which i don't think is a very clear, or stable platfrom do an under taking like this.
The crux of the matter is why would anyone do a session on their own without even running it by Laura and the Forum first?
The session and the subsequent actions of (or rather lack of) the trio is like bringing a loaded weapon to someone's house. The session by the trio and the posting of it on The Matrix website and Facebook is like a loaded weapon that has the potential to cause much harm to Laura and Company (and this Forum).
Not saying that they brought a "loaded gun" with the specific criminal intent to harm. Nonetheless, their actions should be held accountable and no second chance given imho. A huge digression has been committed and while they can perhaps be forgiven, second chances... no.
Pretty objective analogy of the situation.
