Yes, let us move on to a different subject (one pertaining closer to
REBT-CBT, the original purpose of this forum).

I realize that this has been a loaded topic, with people
(including me) feeling very passionate about their own particular
views.

But... what is done is done. The past archive has been deleted and
cannot be recovered. The poll will end next week and determine if the
forum messages will remain open to be viewed by the public or if
membership will be required. And we all have been reminded to be
careful of what we post. If anyone would like to discuss the issue
with me further feel free to email me off the list.

Now, back to discussing REBT :)
