It is an observation that it needs what this forum cannot provide in its natural form.

I don't see the "target of this forum" the sharpening of our analytical and critical thinking skills. I see the target of this forum a place where former and current members of the LRC can share openly.
If we care more about the truths and knowledge than we do about each other then we have become sounding brass.
If we feel that the LRC became an abusive environment that did not exhibit brotherly love, then the target for this forum is to exhibit the love we felt was lacking in the LRC.
If you feel that the LRC error is its exclusivity, then do you really think an invitation only forum is the remedy?
To me the remedy is obvious, we need to grow in grace. Isn't it hypocritical to be the very thing we are condemning? Oh sorry, that was Awareness point, and apparently that adds nothing to this discussion, my bad.
