no. i think the diversity of thought is good as it helps to see a situation and offer solutions from many angles. since you're fairly new i think you'll get to know the personality of the psychotherapy forum in time. certain people's threads do generate a lot of controversy so some people avoid those posters' threads. i think a lot of the problem is when people don't follow (and may not have even read) the 'community guidelines' which are at the top of this forum. there is also a sticky on 'judgment & support' in the psych forum. when people know how the forum works it makes it a lot easier on everyone.
