I agree.
With all due respect, and acknowledging that some EF devotees are less than ‘welcoming’, it never ceases to amaze me that, considering we are told so often of how ‘few’ these. People are, they seem to cause so much worry and upset to the supposedly tolerant, ‘normal’, OF crowd. There seems to be such an element of detestation toward the EF (with a lot of psychological ‘projection’ of these feelings onto EF attendees and fans), and aside from the sock puppet accounts that usually miraculously arise just when there have been good and calm posts made by EF fans but then suddenly the loud and ‘hateful’ posters who supposedly embody the ‘REAL EF” people come charging in, to be met with gleeful, “YOU SEE?” From the OF posters who so love to disparage the EF. I’m sure pretty soon we will see posts from newbie “SSPXrocks” or “TLMrulz” posters who will somehow talk exactly as the OF posters claimed that “EF fans” do. How strange!
Yes, this thread will probably soon be locked and once more it will made manifest that EF bad, OF good, no NEED for EF, all the old ‘charges’ will be happily ‘confirmed’ and all the virtue-shamers confident that their nemesis will SURELY be gone leaving them ‘on the winning side’ and all their own visions of what the OF is ‘justified’.
After all, unless something like the EF is truly terrible, how can one ‘justify’ one’s dislike of it? There is a vested interest in finding the EF flawed, failed, and hateful for some. . .I hope not for as many as they might believe would feel that way though!
