What is it that I am supposed to be apologizing for? My comment made no 
assumption as to why you might have been involved with Mr. Dederich's zany 
little experiment. In my opinion, whether you were there by court order or 
in a voluntary capacity, it explains much about your character to have had 
anything to do with an organization as flawed as Synanon, as does your 
involvement with the Intercollegiate Socialist Society's little offshoot the 
SDS. If you don't want people to make inferences based on information you 
provide, stop providing it, for goodness sake. Also, speaking of obsessive 
wackiness, I seriously doubt that the folks at Anselm House need or want any 
lessons based on a Synanon model. Valuable? I very much doubt it. Criminal 
and weird would be far more accurate descriptors for your buddies from Santa 
Monica. If you've got your heart set on an apology, try this. I'm sorry that 
you were ever involved with a freakish cult like Synanon. There now, who sez 
I can't be "mature and responsible."

Peace & love, man
