One of the reasons we hate Scientology is that, unlike othchurches, it doesn't
try to improve its parishoners when they take a wrong turn in life. Instead,
it emetically purges them, removing them from the organisiation. For some
reason, however, we don't blink when Grex does the same to its members.
Grex is, in a significant way, a rejection of the religious versions of
services traditionally provided by churches. They both fulfill much of the
same things in communities, including companionship, fellowship, mating, and
societal bonds; but Grex does them atheistically. Why shouldn't Grex embrace
this fully, by trying to improve lost members, instead of banning them and
deleting their accounts?

Re. 0: There's no much that can be done in a non-face-to-face
setting. You can ask, plead, encourage, scold, etc., but when the
other person can come and go as they please, therapy's next to
impossible.
