Well I thoght I was clear...sorry.

First, people post from where they are "at" in life, I think. And that includes those asking for help, and those responding. Plus, our past and current lives and beliefs permeate each post, whether consciously done or not.

There are very few " wrong" ways to post and those are things against guidelines. If someone needs help and finally reaches out for it here, however they get that done is generally acceptable

As for the way it used to be, I can't speak much more about that. Someone else said it more clearly I think? We weren't to counter or argue against what someone else said, but reply and give support to the OP. If we disagreed with the OP we just did not participate in that thread. ( unless the op wanted all replies.) ...but now that appears to be assumed for all threads?

But I do think you wanted more about posting with support. I will dare to say again that EVERYONE posts from who and what they are. My beliefs ARE who I am and gives me reason for living and guides me in giving others hope, yet even this statement might not be allowed because of those who complain because they disagree with my beliefs, regardless that my replies might extend from a PhD and a 167 IQ.

I think one of the main drawbacks --other than the lack of support which all need-- and one reason why I'm participating here is that others see and read the countering of views and then they fear posting. (for surely if I have been here so long, etc and this occurs to me, they don't feel they could do it)

At its very core, the site is good and filled with members who give and take at the best of their abilities.

Peace. Pardon typos
