Well...there might be discussion. But mostly it would be cyber hugs, commiseration, suggestions and general support. I think this came about because it started to feel, at least a little on the psychology board, that people were too fragile for a "spirited" discussion. It wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea - but it might help cut down the "I need to leave" or "I don't feel safe here" posts. I don't know.
But as a poster, it would be easier for me to squelch my natural inclination to say, "have you thought about it from this angle, or this...or this?" Sometimes I assume people want to think about things when all they really wanted was a hug. On a support board, I'd KNOW they want support. :)
