One of my first days here I was in a chat and was told off by someone I thought I was being empathetic and encouraging toward. I was sorry it happened because I didn't mean to be offensive or alienate someone, particularly alienate them from PC>

About telling a poster "The Truth" ... that doesn't exist for me as it does for another. Actually it doesn't even exist in the way it is mentioned here. Something becomes "The Truth" to a person when they accept it and if they accept it and until then it is the other person's truth.

Sometimes a post is the door opening a tiny crack, someone peeking in to check out the atmosphere, to see if it's safe and kind and non-judgemental here. To see if it's safe to open the door futther, to step in. If we grab that door and yank it open before the other person is ready, we might lose them. and I think that is a fear sometimes.. on both sides of the door.
