To the contrary, in my personal experience and in the experiences of others I know, LEC leaders are almost always the most caring, human, honest, ethical, and committed of people. The courses they lead almost always deliver exactly what their brochures say they do. The organization goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that every person and every detail is handled in the precisely correct manner to achieve the results they promise. I have never once seen anything secretive, unethical, underhanded, illegal or coercive. Certainly, no person nor organization is perfect.
Humans make mistakes, have bad days, get priorities confused.
Landmark people' often use words in ways that are confusing at first. Their commitment to other people's growth at the expense of casual conversation and 'normal' human interaction is often intimidating and confusing to many. Yes, it is often 'different' from what we are used to. However, being different should not be the criteria for vilification of a person or organization. Witness the persecutions and contributions of Copernicus, Gallileo, and Joan of Arc.
