It's hard when you're new here to see the 'drama' that some people love. It happens. People who are truly commited understand that. As I was told, and one of my favorite quotes, none of us got here by singing to loud in the choir. Those with a bit of sobriety are stung by ugly words, but we understand where it comes from. I've said some horrible things when drinking, and though I've been forgiven, those words are not forgotten. I was recently told I 'feigned compassion'. Yes, I want to retaliate at first, but what would that gain, or help in my sobriety. If we see someone obviously unable to protect themselves here, we have to speak up. But those who have been here a while understand where the ugliness and anger are coming from, and learn to let it go. It's wonderful you notice that people are attacked for no reason. Just my opinion, don't let it become too personal to you, or derail your plan for your own sobriety. Most of us are used to condemnation, deserved or not. It's the learning to deal with it, soberly, that takes practice. Don't let this change your mission to become sober.
