That's how I feel too! This is a very lively thread. Some people are bystanders, some people are open and vocal. Nothing wrong with either, but it's often the most vocal, the protesters throughout history, who end up being the ones to bring on positive change to things or the world.

I think Budfox is doing some productive grieving, so why not let him be? I think people can start their own positive therapy threads. In fact, the people who complain most often don't seem to be those who make themselves vulnerable, putting themselves out there, baring their soul and wounds to the forum by starting their own threads, open to the feedback, criticism, and disagreement of hundreds.

How would you like it if you had a really bad fear of snakes that affected your everyday life and wanted to discuss it here on a MH forum until you were ready to 'move past it', and people kept telling you to quit saying all snakes are bad, I love my pet snake! C'mon, just let people be themselves.
