Just to answer your questions:

"How cultlike is that?"

Very.

"I really am different than anyone most of you have ever met. I can't help that. At 1:30pm today, I will be negotiating a union contract on behalf of a $300 million dollar industry. Tomorrow, I am under subpoena to testify in a matter involving the Teamsters union (you guys think you are intimidating?). That's not bragging, that's just my life. But, because it is different, it is considered bad, wrong, evil, (plug in your
favorite negative word). I am considered by some to be less valid, less human, etc."

Different than Family types and exer types, probably yes. But I dealt and met with people just like you on a daily basis, and I was considered just like one of the gang at one point.

"It is the same place bigotry comes from, and if you can't see it, I guess I can't help you."

Yes I can see the bigotry in Family as well as exers, and it bugs me like you wouldn't believe.
