This is somewhat tangential, as this more reminds me of it than exactly corresponds to it, but did I ever tell you about Vanier?

It's come up from time to time, but I didn't want to pry into something private on you. (FYI: this particular thread is not currently friendslocked like my usual. I don't know if that makes any difference to you.)

Eh, it's starting to seem wrong to be as private as I've been about it nowadays, considering what other people are willing to talk about. If nothing else, I should be clear that it was a normal and fairly transparent institution and almost certainly still is; it was just painful to me, not abusive or anything

Nope, no hints. I always appreciate your contributions. Sadly there's a whole line of research in psychology detailing how easy it is to get a large number of people to do horrible things. (The upshot of that research, however, is that some people always resist. Sometimes just a couple, and sometimes quite a few. But there are always a disobedient few

Oh man, I really should have mentioned that I was linking you -- sorry, my netiquette-fu failed me. Sorry for making you track me down.

Thanks for the background info. I searched Google for a while, but it really wasn't turning up a lot of diverse information on this, which is also scary.

Thank YOU so much for putting yourself on the line for this. I came across this information through copperbadge and was horrified as I started reading about it. If I ever hear anyone discussing or recommending AT, I will make sure the real facts get spoken. I plan to follow your campaign and support in any way that I can.

Got it. Thank you very much, and good luck and best wishes from my end.
