BTW, I am glad you agree...I just hate to see people hurt and run off by people complaining. When one complains often I feel it is *insensitive*

But maybe in these cases before deciding to post a complaint, people should remember what their own pain in dealing with the problems that brought them here feels like. And consider that they might be inflicting that same kind of self-doubting, hopeless pain on someone else. Which they may be horror-stricken to realize. Most people here are probably fragile in some way, or else they wouldn't need a community like this to help with acceptance. So even if someone states something with apparent conviction or strength, in reality they may easily become hurt and down on themselves. Maybe from behind a computer, a poster who sounds bothersome to someone seems to represent only a faceless "category" of poster, a stereotype. Rather than a unique human being who in reality does *not* embody every seemingly similar poster throughout time rolled into one, who deserves reprimand at last.
