When certain Samson brothers walk away from this community, no doubt, everyone can breathe a little easier. And you know exactly who I'm referring to. Those emotionally volatile guys. The ones that make great soap opera characters but not so much real friends.
And thankfully, there aren't too many of these odd-men-out within this community, but they are there. For now...
-------------------------
Level-headedness (fueled by humility) is one of those guaranteed traits Christian men need to thrive, long-term, within communities like Samson Society.
But many men aren't anywhere close to level-headed much less humble. Instead, their (heated) emotions (particularly when they're tired / bored) take over. When that occurs, most everyone takes notice, especially so when it's an inappropriate / childish response. And that's when the distancing begins in earnest.
Of course, distancing isn't an attribute found within a thriving Christian community of men.

I witnessed this firsthand during a sophomore Spring Samson retreat (in-person Samson community) at / around Highlands, NC many years ago. One brother was always looking for an opportunity to "flare up" so long as said opportunity had one particular Samson brother's name attached to it. Think of this dynamic within the same vein as a sibling rivalry. And eventually, it got ugly between these two. And from there, everyone's point of view changed.
My naivete cloistered this incident as isolated. Boy was I ever wrong.
