Sorry you had a bad experience at the Do you attended, it hopefully should not dissuade any FT'er from experiencing one for themselves.
How can you disagree with my wording?

You're implying innacuracy or untruthfulness on my part which is pretty annoying. I'm simply saying what happened and unless you attended I can't see how you'd know. When I spoke to others I was told "It's always like this".
Whether it dissaudes or not is up to others judgement of course. At least they'd know what questions they may ask if they don't wish to have a similar experience to my own.
