if a new person asks about the risks of therapy, and there is nobody there to offer a firsthand account of what happens when things go badly, that would be concerning.

I agree with your statement above but I must add something. This site is about personal experiences, what to expect when delving into psychotherapy or medications. When members respond in a way that does not state specifically something along the lines of "In my experience", "My experience was....", "I remember feeling...." and bestows only negative generalizations about a subject, then there will be dissent among the membership.
I (notice I'm using an I statement) have almost always found that when "I statements" are used, the message being delivered is much more acceptable than sounding like one is the only authority on that one side of the equation.
Basically, what it all comes down to is, how the message is delivered and that it stays on topic.
