I have similar views on therapy, Rainy, and similar experiences - both helpful and harmful. I like dialogues aimed at understanding therapy process, as it stands, and its various dynamics in terms of their potential to both harm and help. I also like discussing solutions to the existing systemic problems of therapy. I am not interested at all in pointless and toxic debates where people try to "win" the argument, as opposed to find a mutual understanding and to learn from each other.
I am definitely a "no therapy" person at the moment and, I suspect, for the rest of my life. All the healing work I've done for the past 5 years was done with no therapy. I used a spiritual approach to life, a lot of self-care, self-education and, occasionally alternative healing methods. So, if by "no therapy thread" you meant discussing how to heal and grow with no therapy, then I am a good match for that type of discussion. I just prefer to talk about it outside of this forum though because I don't feel that this is a place where such discussions will be appreciated, certainly not from what I've seen here. So, if you are ok to do it in a PM format, feel free to PM me.
