So if anyone can teach me how to say that there is no dogma, without making that in itself a dogma, please show me! There has to be something in philosophy on the subject.
Alas, poor Patrick. His passion has driven him into a box canyon from which the only escape is to go backwards relative to how he got himself stuck in there.
As I view it, the principal fallacy you are grinding into dust is that Ra, Q'uo and all the rest are excruciating clear that they wish not to be anyone's authority figure and that their views are merely their opinions and not absolute truth. Hence, it matters not how clear Ra was about this or that insofar as any other entity chooses to believe otherwise. And yet you have elevated this particular principle into holy writ--against the Confederation's repeatedly expressed wishes--and are using it to effectively exclude others from these forums by advising them to go away and create their own groups.
I say to thee, O Patrick, son of Quebec, repent of your arrogance and allow others the leeway to make whatever mistakes they need to make in service to the one Creatrix. Do not fall into the fallacious temptation to banish others in order to keep yourself clean, for other is you, as seen from the green ray level of reality.
Or, to put it more simply, like dude, maybe its time to lighten up a little bit, eh?
