John, you know I do object to this conclusion and misrepresentation
of the student's motives to create this group. I OBJECT VEHEMENTLY.
Not only was I there, I also understand that assigning this motive
is focussing on the lack of Love instead of on the miracle.

We can agree that the whole ego world was miscreated
as a "systemic system (nice term!) of attack", where attack
is justified as part of God's Creation. That in itself will be
undone.

The charter is a correct description of this
meeting place, and serves its purpose nicely.
"it is not necessary" in the last part wasn't very
well chosen and is plainly wrong, imho, if
attack must necessarily be discouraged in the
undoing of the ego world.

BUT: Note that it doesn't say it is inappropriate to
discourage flaming discussions, as well.
Maybe we can all agree that it is necessary to
subjugate our discussions under the Atonement
if we share the interest of Peace for the Sonship.

And even if individual posters do not agree -
their disagreement is a veil that cloaks their
natural desire for Peace, just the way our
collective denial of God's Love does really
mean that we do Love Him dearly.

What say you, people of good faith?
