I think it's best, in the interest of peace that we all (exception made to Viviane) stop making general statements that common sense (except Viviane's common sense, if it can be proven to exist in lab controlled conditions, I'm just working on an assumption here) would understand it as not applying to 100% of mankind without qualifying first that we're not speaking in her name.
Aw, look at you trying make personal attacks. You're totes adorbs when you do that.
You're totes adorbs
Gee, you've just made me blush, Viviane.

Flippin Norah, remind me never to cross viviane!
You'll be fine so long as you never form an opinion on anything and be so bold as to post it.

It seems to me that what gets her going is when someone forms an opinion on something and then posts it as fact.
In learning to strip off my irrational old personality, I realize that there is a big difference between stating an opinion and stating an opinion as fact.
If you're going to state it as fact, rationally, you better have the evidence to back it up.
For example, I, for whatever reason, still hold some irrational opinions. Like I am not convinced that the climate change we're seeing is completely the fault of mankind. However, I can't prove that it isn't, and science has data to say it is likely that it is caused by man. So, me posting that statement as fact is gonna get Viviane all riled up.
However, I don't think she'll say I can't have that opinion, even if she views it as wrong and incorrect and irrational (which, admittedly, it is irrational).

It makes you wonder what her credentials are ...
If one insists on the right to villify others, it should be no surprise that it comes back to bite you. To relentlessly, systematically, criticize others for simply stating their opinions – and I have observed that it doesn’t matter if such opinions are presented as facts or mere personal beliefs – is foolish, annyoing, and tiring. It may also be pathological. Often, those who overcriticize others for attempting to share their beliefs, are themselves preaching their own set of creeds – be it rationalism, science, theism atheism or whatnot.

No one has crossed me. I just don't tolerate promoting woo as reality and misrepresenting facts.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Deltawave has on a recent thread described accurately the Watchtower discussion at the meeting. He is not Brahma Kumaris, just a JW trying to leave and looking for help. Disgusted! He can't even spell! He is not a threat.
I can accurately describe a WT discussion and I've not been to a meeting in almost 6 years. Deltawave has a name that it directly associated with the meditative practive of the BKs, is promoting meditation and the teachings of the BKs.
