"Most members of PC are not only willing, but anxious, to help all those who present themselves here as desperately in pain and sorely in need of intelligent, sympathetic advice. At the same time, some members of PC appear to want to use their desire to be of service not only to bolster their own feelings about themselves but to declare themselves superior to those not as seriously devoted (they think) as themselves to the welfare of others.

I suppose that having a certain percentage of such self-satisfied, puffed-up members is expectable in any human activity with philanthropic aims. Which doesn't mean to say that their self-attributed airs and graces need be taken seriously by their less inflated co-members who, while doing exactly the same things, don't insistently demand recognition of the absolute purity of their motives or the superiority of their devotion." ~quote Ygre23

Ugh, you mean to say there are politicians here too? LOL

Wow, that is pretty judgemental of you. Yes, I suppose there are some narcissits around and yes, I have seen some highly opinionated posts. But I have to say some of what these posts say have some good advice and a different way to view things.
I have even seen some posts made by those that claim to be psychopaths and I found their views informative as well. And I have even asked questions and received amazingly candid and honest answers. And to be honest I want to meet them all, I am pretty sure I have outside PC so I might as well be triggered and tested here.
And I can assure you I have. And to be honest, for the short time I have been here and the distance I have come so far I can thank both the positive as well as the negetive. And unfortunately no one here can see how things effect me and how sometimes I can get triggered and suffer through a whole day of unbelievable anxiety and stress. But, in order for me to understand the things that truely bother or even frighten me, I have to actually address it. And I would rather find that out in the comfort of my own home than outside PC where I am taken by surprise and had no practice on how to deal with that type of scenario.

Anyone and everyone is bound to have a mixed review in respect to their input. But there is also a way to click on that name and possibly see a disorder of somekind that my lay out the reason for that person's statements as well as those that react to those statements. And in that, there is much to learn and ponder. Too bad it isn't like that outside PC.
But this experience "Can" lend to a better understanding of those that we encounter outside PC.

I "HAVE" seen some members start threads that are very informative and extremely helpful in many different situations (and they have had catchy titles). And I am very thankful for those threads and they have been a good source of debate as well as sometimes a place where opinions may clash a little. But it is interesting even then to see the different views.

Overall from what I have seen, though members make mistakes and may even be very verbal or not, the site is very friendly, supportive, and helpful to many.

It is interesting to consider a catchy title, but most people that come here are not writers, they bravely take steps to ask a question and hope to be enlightened.
