Either way, having been around the therapeutic community, I can attest the rehabilitation isn't usually so brutal; while there is an attempt to educate, brutalizing the patients into submission neither works, nor is it legal there.
I'm aware. We don't particularly brutalize fluffies here either. For the most part, the initial contact made is gentle and polite.
If the person persists in making flawed or fallacious statements to justify things like say culture rape in the name of their own beliefs, then we get a little more harsh.
Think of it like going from a therapeutic situation with a counselor to a mental hospital situation for individuals who are a bit more dangerous to themselves and possibly others.

You're already making it a stretch for someone to come in here and come out as a fluffy. Why would they want to invite this sort of nonsense into their lives?
Actually we have a large number of people who come out as fluffies by accident and when finally warned, realize and discuss their issues. They've already invited nonsense into their lives, we're just here to purge it out.

I should be able to share what resources I have, see if anyone else can show major problems with those, pick up some new ones, and be allowed to learn as I please.
You are. No one here is preventing you from sharing and looking.
But... as per a guild where accuracy, proper reasoning and a lack of fallacies are required we will address the resources and ideas you express that are subject to problems of those types.
No one here is treating you as we would a fluffy. We're treating you as a practitioner who is wrong on a few things and is being an a** to people while being wrong.
A bad combination to be sure but not necessarily a fluffy one. So you may be seeing a harshness that we don't normally give to the most fluffies (with some major exceptions, like a certain idiot fluffy who was belligerently resistant to any criticism whatsoever on her misuse and culture rape related to handfasting) because well, dammit you should ******** know better.
Yes you're held to a higher standard. It means that you're already worth respect and your actions are disappointing. I personally would see that as a good thing, beyond your own mistakes.
