I actually agree with what he said.
You will not always get where you want in your life. I think most of us here have some bad memories from our childhood, but that is over and now we need to learn for ourselves.
And perhaps some groups are not private because they are for cool-only, but because some of the stuff talked there is personal and not something you want to trumphet all over the internets. I would not compare it to a party... but if you have a problem, will you call all your family and friends to talk about it, or will you just tell to one or few people? Some things are difficult to talk about, embarassing, personal(ish).
Invite only option is for people who are anxious. Social anxiety on the Internet... yes, it exists.
