This is meta, but I'm not a fan of this trend of adding a pull quote to add emphasis to a sentence that was never really lost in the text to begin with, e.g. , A short sentence. A second short sentence. > A second short sentence.

Pull quotes in general usually irritate me. I'm sure there's a place for them, when done correctly. But usually I'll see things like you pointed out. Or worse, the pull quote will come from a paragraph far above it (and so no longer relevant to the section I'm currently in), or far below it (so way out of context; I haven't even got to that part yet!)

I'm sorry, but this sounds like some hardcore NXIVM science..

I am not very familiar with the cult, but this just seems like regular self-help advice. Could someone explain how this relates to a sex cult(based on the wikipedia article)?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't go on British message boards and "correct" their spelling. Try to extend the same courtesy here.

How can you "correct" English from England?

idk but I won't correct English from Britain if you won't correct American from America
