I do recall reading rules which went over PC's policy on members posting supportive posts to one another, rather than challenging your peer's outlook, when I became a member 3+ years ago. I have always tried to keep this general rule into mind, as I don't want to push the other members down lower (I'd appreciate that same consideration with my posts as well).

I've held myself back from posting personal problems of my own at times, in fear of my emotions being minimized and challenged by others. I think that's sad. As we're all here to gain support from those who can relate, not to be attacked for being manipulative or whatever. There are more kind ways to point out hurtful behavior. Or, you could skip posting back if you can't relate to ever feeling that way.

I prefer the previous method better as well ~ it felt more humane and supportive to me.
