I think that is very sad. For these people, there is no rationality to constructive criticism for they believe that ANY criticism is hateful and spiteful.

no that's not the problem and you know it. It's not "any time"..it's the fact that it happens ALL the time over and over and over and over. You don't see it because you are not on the receiving end.
How would you feel if your friend or spouse constantly ragged on you over and over and over..criticized you?
It gets OLD real fast
Second, I have NO problem with "unsafe subjects", as you can see I have discussed every topic pertaining to beliefs and practices. I have dealt with standards, tongues, godhead, attitudes, magic hair etc etc
I can DO that without saying "The UPC...."
Do You understand? Even those who are not in the UPC have gotten tired of it.
Why can't we talk about the topics by finding common ground instead of alienating UPCers?
Why can't we talk about topics without having to always make it specifically about the UPCers?
