	It's important that people '''don't''' think EndMyopians are some kind of monolith under a cult leader. Because, well, '''they're not'''.

==Rationale==
Writings help give that 'personal flavour' to readers, who can see the experiences of actual people going through the process for themselves, written onto a page.

It's important that people '''don't''' think EndMyopians are some kind of monolith under a cult leader. Because, well, '''they're not'''. Different opinions about how to improve vision are very common in all avenues of discussion in EM, and these should be heard loud and clear, published for all to see, so that people can come to their own conclusions.

With that said, we obviously do not want to host massively negative pieces about EndMyopia. Disagreeing with certain elements of what it's all about in a reasonable way is totally fine. We're under no obligation to host frothy hate-filled pieces however.

Don't make a writing if you:
* Think the whole vision improvement thing is fake and we're all a bunch of scam artist, placebo loving, [[wikipedia:anti-vaxxers|anti-vaxxers]]
* Think EndMyopia is total trash and that the [[Bates method]] or some other method is a million times better, and everyone needs to know how wrong EM is

You'll need to go to your own platform for that, because we'll just censor you and kick you out {{awesome}}
