For example, someone may post "I believe that cats are the best kind of pet." An unsupportive reply would be "Cats are a menace. There are a lot of animals that make better pets than cats...." You are entitled to your own beliefs, but you don't have to tell someone else that you think they are wrong. It isn't necessary even in another thread to post about how awful cats are, but you might start a thread about the kinds of animals that you like. The person who likes cats should respect your thread, and not go in and debate which makes a better pet.

See, here's where I get confused. I understand that someone saying "cats are a menance..." per your example is non-supportive. But would saying something like, "I prefer dogs" or "I dislike cats because I'm allergic to them" also be unsupportive? That's the part I don't think I understand.

Thanks,
