Tereza, thank you for speaking your mind, and I appreciate the mutual respect!! Let me ask you then, do you remember how it all unfolded, and the low blows against Matias and then Robert? Do you remember the very beginning of it? I remember that, and I found it deeply disturbing. There are reasonable ways to disagree with a psychological theory, (although perhaps in the middle of the battle is not the best time for such things), and ways that look like someone thinks they are chasing out the devil while in fact.... Anyway, I thought it was very tragic, and it looked manipulated. I, for one, don't think that even the attack on Desmet's theory was justified, and I have expressed my opinion multiple times. It's a theory. Take it or leave it. Who cares. The Breggins projected their fears on it but it was more of a projection, in my opinion. They are good people. They made fear-based choices, and it snowballed to where we are. And of course there is nothing great about the lawsuit, nothing at all! But Robert didn't start it. And in the end, we have to think about the big picture and the usefulness of everything for the community. Who wins from this bad behavior on everybody's side? The alphabets, that's who. And surely, they had something to do with starting it, I have no doubt.
Have you read Malidoma Some, by the way? There is a lot about the responsibility of the community when people start messing up. I come from that place. I don't care who is right or wrong, we need to stand tall and think about healing as opposed to court house.
But I'm confused, Tessa. My article quotes from the Breggins and links to the four articles that started it all. Please show me what you consider to be a low blow against Matias and then Robert. I've read these in depth and they seem like exactly what you're saying--a reasonable disagreement with a psychological theory. I don't see anything that seems like chasing out the devil. Please include quotes, all the sources from the Breggins are in my article. If I had only read Robert's side, I may have thought that, but as soon as I went to the actual sources, I realized I'd been misled.
