I respectfully disagree with the idea that one is wrong to continue because some others found one post to align with their position rather than another. I see nothing wrong with disagreement between posters -sometimes we all feel passionately about some topic or other - I think disagreement is inevitable at some level. Disagreement does not mean dislike. For example - I like Chris and Hankster but I almost never outright fully agree with them or them with me (it happens that we sometimes agree just not often or completely - I hope those two guys do not mind me using them as examples) (I like but disagree with a lot of other posters too, but thought it would be odd if I listed everyone I like but do not always agree with) - and there are some topics we absolutely and completely disagree. I have never thought I needed to stop posting due to all the people who have told me and continue to tell me my point of view on therapy is not valid and that I should stop posting here.

I understand not wanting to put oneself in a difficult position.
