And to me that's an attempt at controlling what is said here and shuffling it off into a subforum that may get much less traffic. We're all adults. We should be able to accept the existence of opposing points of view. If you know a thread is likely to go in a certain direction or has been started by a poster with a certain point of view...it is not like you are required to participate in it.

I agree.
I also think it is BULL that this place is mostly negative. I went through the first couple of pages just now of this forum and i don't see mostly negative AT ALL. In fact someone posted a specific positive therapy thread and barely anyone responded to it. Why is that? Overall most threads are NOT negative. They are positive or people looking for advice and most are just that, advice.
It seems like people care more about protecting the profession than about the people who get hurt by it. That is what is appalling. And people trying to find some reason to blame the client for the therapy failure.
