"i think there is also a tendency for bbc's to feel threatened by the more widely held opinions of the more relativistic attitudes that are more pervasive not only on exfam boards, but the culture in general."
It would seem that the BBC's tend to think they are not welcome or wanted because they are unlike the "majority" out there who doesn't see things exactly the way they do. But they don't realize that probably no 2 people are alike, even when they claim to belong to the BBC category. Case in point, someone like you, who feels threatened by other BBC's. I think a lot of this lashing out and making other people feel threatened is a result of having a thin skin and feeling threatened themselves. Then again, we do have lashing coming from other camps that find even the mention of "Jesus" offensive.
One thing I don't get though, some BBC's seem to feel threatened when someone disagrees with them, and really detest it when someone approaches their posts with questions. Aren't we supposed to ask questions in order to find our own way?
