RE: Suggestion: forum only browsable by members
Agua del Cielo, I certainly understand and sympathize with your suggestion. Not only do we have the potential to deal with deeply personal issues here, but we also gather around a text and philosophy that is, to the outside world, quite weird. Privacy is an understandably desired aspect of the forums for seekers who gather here.
From a community standpoint, we view this as needing balanced with the resources of the forums being open and accessible to those who might be just "casual browsers." There is a chance that a personal story might be read by a "random internet surfer," but chances are, a person did not end up here "randomly." The forums have a deep archive of discussion and material that helps seekers learn more about L/L Research's material and relate to others seekers on a similar path.
We feel it's a good compromise in that members may post anonymously without ties to any personal information. It's unfortunate that this level of anonymity isn't quite as much of a shield as some would desire, but hopefully this balance allows us to serve others who may not even become engaged with the forums if an account was required.
Thank you for the suggestion!
