I decided to end my smaller group (the one I first mentioned in post 13), and start up a new one in a larger city nearby. We had our first planning meeting and plan on meeting weekly.

This is a philosophy discussion group and I did notice that in this group and in other groups, sometimes when I present arguments, people think I accept these arguments and judge me accordingly. I'm going to have to make it a point to let them know that just because I present an argument, it doesn't mean I accept said argument.
