I'm not going to call this person out by username (but they're upwards of 40, lol...) but they literally have as their signature:
"I don't trust anyone without a counter."
Seriously? Really? Obviously I don't have a counter as my signature (did that when I went through my 90 days), but I suspect that this person has myself in mind as there was a disagreement over methodology.
I actually do have a counter too, which I have for myself to set or reset as needed.
To me, it's no big deal. I post this only to say, "Hey, man- we're here to support each other!"- it's not about my method's better than your method, or whatever. Not all people are comfortable to have a counter, I know what it's like to be ambivalent about having a counter, especially after a lapse. It's easy to have a counter if you're constantly having great streaks- but given a fall, it's very difficult to reset, and the whole RN world knows about it. I've been there, done that...
But this post isn't about a counter versus no counter, but can we be supportive of others whose methods and approaches may not be traditional, or may not reflect what we're doing? Maybe there's a difference of philosophies about recovery or various models of addiction? Who cares, right???
We're all here for one purpose (hopefully), and that is to recover ourselves from this insidious addiction, and to be supportive of each other in the process. Anything that does not go to strengthening our fellow man (or woman) in their reboot should not be tolerated.
