Well, we could do the same thing with subjective reality, paranormal phenomena, diet and exercise, productivity, polyamory, the law of attraction, 100% responsibility, and any other concept that is discussed in the forums.
People discover what works for them by discussing and debating these issues, and there is no one "right" answer -- no one "right" belief about polarity that is the definitive reference that a person should know before he steps into discussion or debate about it.
I think it would be pretty horrible to have a specified guru teaching the rights and wrongs of topics discussed here. A guru is only a guru unto herself -- she can only know what is right or wrong in her life, not in the lives of others.
I agree that reading Steve's articles is a really good idea, and it would be helpful to refer new members to the appropriate articles (thought tracking them down and linking might end up being just as annoying to the experienced members).
I think these concepts expand and become more clear for everyone who participates as we hear both from people who seem pretty up-to-speed AND people who are just figuring it out, or even completely clueless. It all contributes to exactly the perfect understanding and growth, I think, for everyone involved. No one is "right" or "wrong" about their subjective experiences with subjective concepts. Talking about them and noticing what bugs you is really valuable!
One way you personally might deal with it, Andrew, aside from refraining from participating in discussions with the people who are not "up to speed," is to start a thread and specifically state your "rules" for that thread -- like maybe: "This thread is for discussion of xyz aspect of polarity ONLY. Please read Steve's article "abc" before posting here." And the moderators will help you keep your thread on topic.
