I think this is an accurate assessment. And to reinforce the point, it's an assessment that could have been made 30 years ago.

Yes. Back in 1980 I felt sorry for those I brought into the LC. I shouldn't have done that.

I had a different take on this. When I left in 1978 I did so quietly but those who I had brought in were aware that I had left. If they wished to discuss it with me I would have been open but my concern at that time was this: Okay, I have already made a mistake bringing them in and I am not going to try and bring anyone out---maybe double my mistake since then they would want to know where do we go. Didn't want to go there. Let them decide on their own but if they are interested I would be more than happy to provide my perspective. Of course, none of them every came to me --- maybe the elders labeled me "negative" etc. who knows. Anyway, I was happy not being approached about it. Okay zeek, sometimes you remember things differently and if so you can provide your perspective.
