Drama would be an interesting word, since part of my intent is to carve
away the emotional arguments and enticements and show how they are
often used to obscure the truth beneath it all. I do get into some
discussions along the way and end up being attacked quite a bit for it
(once I was even told that it's no wonder I'm not married!), but my
point remains the same: focusing on a separation of emotional sales
points and arguments from truth, or separating fact from fantasy. (As
a science fiction and mystical fiction writer, I certainly know the
difference between fact and fantasy!)

That's part of what I try to illustrate. I hope by showing the logic in
a situation or showing how emotional pleas and arguments are used that
it will help people see how wrong many of the points MLMs make are when
compared to truth. It helps us, as outsiders, see what is going on,
but it also helps us see what has sold insiders on their MLMs. It's
not logic, it's emotional appeal.

That's true!

There are cult experts who also work with MLM deprogramming.

It's good to know those of us with the facts are helping in some way!
