But that does not explain NARTH's mis-use of data to mislead the piblic or its afilliatiions with wackos and hatemongers. These are entirely NARTH's responsibility. .

The other part is hubris, bias, a rescuing complex blended with passive disgust of SSA. Splitting defenses, whether used to destroy an enemy, or to bolster ourselves; inevitably oversimplify and deceive...harming ourselves and others.
