Is it Jeff or is it Phil?
Mike, if he is such a person, is a fanatic or a person portraying Mike as a
fanatic. Best, GaryE who are you talking about? If this continues, we may have
to see if we can put it in the FAQ. See, it's like this: Gary thinks that
everybody that disagrees with him is actually one or two people posting under a

God NO!!! Not another side.
It is axiomatic that fanatics and extremists will consider even moderation as
opposition and all opposition as flawed characters or stupid. Know you aren't an
extremist or fanatic, that you are well, more than mainstream with 3/4's of the
world in your corner as "anti US" (That's what you wrote up there). ...

How do you handle this kind?
They usually become fanatics because they vest so much (my opinion based on my
experience with more than one fanatic in more than one 'cause') of their person
and they can's seem to moderate. They have to create some fanatical hard world
that doesn't accommodate anything but 'believers.' They are at war with anyone

Alcoholics are not Drug Abusers!!!!
Fanaticism is not required for sobriety but some would have you believe, of

giving up fanaticism for drink leaves a hole. so the fanaticism is transferred,

Coffee and Cigarettes
It's difficult, if not outright impossible, to stop a fanatic from his self
appointed rounds. And there are fanatics in AA, none would deny, would they? I

oposing beliefs in action. But if you step away from it, just a bit, you'll see
the exact same ardent defense of personal beliefs. It will demonstrate nothing
about religion, God, or athieism, but it will demonstrate that what someone ...
