I don't own DR -- just borrowed and read it a couple of years ago. Is "Don't ask questions or make demands" specific to any stage of MLC? Seems to me that it's good advice in the beginning, and when they've left, and while they're gone, but when they come back, or try to? I seem to recall that boundaries are important then. And boundaries do require demands of a sort.
FTR, I do believe in the whole fluffy bunny MLC thing. Now.
