Firstly, the fact that the "experts" can't agree about NRMs tells me we shouldn't be getting dogmatic about it.

Secondly, I'm sure I've missed plenty of posts--who hasn't--but I also distinctly remember, when Andries first came here, having to post something placatory because I was so embarrassed by the way he was being treated.

I don't know what Andries' agenda is, but really don't think it's malevolent. The truth is we have treated known trolls with clearly malevolent intent with more curtesy than we treated Andries.

I won't be studying NRMs--I have a BSc. to complete. It's not your methods of study etc. that I'm objecting to, but the treatment of a human being.

I'm familiar with plenty of other forums, BTW.
