While normally I would agree that issues like this are best dealt with privately -- as others have noted, by reporting the unsupportive post using the report icon (looks like a little notebook with a pencil) -- it's good to have a public reminder of this issue once in awhile too.

That's why while I don't expect people to remember every word in the community guidelines, they do remember the introduction to the "Inappropriate Content" section which says it simply -- if your post isn't supportive, it's potentially not appropriate to our community.

Treat others how you yourself would like to be treated. I would hate to hear someone tell me to just "get over it" if I had cancer, so why should a person's dealing with depression or some other issue be any different?

Such rude comments will be addressed by us, once they are brought to our attention. So PLEASE, bring such unsupportive comments to our attention!!

Thank you.
