They are gone, so they aren't represented here now, but I am saying on their behalf, they tried to join this forum and left soon after their first posts because they found it inhospitable.

And isn't it interesting how once you speak out about something against the dominating voices, all of a sudden people who agree with you start coming out of the woodwork and contacting you to voice their support and tell you that they shared your experience?

@St33med: There are apparently many people who agree with me. Maybe they are the silent majority and maybe the people who were helped are relatively few, and were most likely people who somehow got into the good graces of the dominating voices.

Angela and almost everything she said to me under the pretense of help had a destructive effect on me and my progress, and I'm saying this in public. How many left this forum before even getting started because of feeling attacked and how many have remained silent and muffled their activity to avoid going against the grain? We'll never know.

How long have you been speaking out against Angela?
