Of course there are exceptions as there is with almost anything. However my personal experience and that of many other exUPCers I hae communicated with over the last 24 years is the same.
No one likes to have their group criticized in any way so I understand where you are coming from. However just because there are exceptions to what I have stated does not negate the fact it is pervasive.
I have spoken with Xer's from all over the nation and the experience is pretty much universal with few exceptions.

CC1 let's revisit..I see I have to do this a lot. I was NOT responding to you when you decided to butt in over my use of the term SWEEPING GENERALIZATION and then pretended at act as though I said NO such attitude exists at all anywhere. What's wrong with that?
You don't under stand where I am coming from because my problem is not that I deny an attitude exists my problem is 1) someone making this something ALL UPCers do and 2) you coming along and pretending as though I ever denied it exists at all just because I am tired of sweeping generalizations and giving me 3 lessons on how this happened to you.
Trust me, I have been around the block! Ok, you guys have no clue who you are talking to on this matter. But the simple truth is NOT all of us do this and I get tired of someone applying the sweeping generalizations and then someone else coming along and condescending to me as though I have no clue.
The mere fact that there are exceptions SHOULD have had you agreeing with me rather than allowing those exceptions to be lumped into the whole
