thoughts on Leo Gura from actualized.org

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a cult, but there's a certain amount of groupthink ,that goes on and it is Leo's forum after all. In that sense it is a bit like Project Avalon, which is centred around Bill Ryan and is quick to ban members who don't fit in. Still, I found the forum itself to be an open-minded place where all sorts of discussions are allowed, even ones you wouldn't necessarily find elsewhere.

I have been a member there for a while and unlike on other forums (including this one), none of my posts or threads have ever been deleted or even locked. You really can have any kind of discussion you might like (including political or sexuality-related ones), though they do frown on conspiracy theories.

I don't actually care for Leo's own material, it isn't for me, but I believe the guy himself is not a cult-leader and his forum is well-moderated and open-minded, which is what matters for my own purposes, in terms of having discussions with like-minded people.

Nice reply.

UPDATE: Gave it a second look. Now I know, I don't like it.

Fair enough and thanks for the additional perspectives, NoOne.
