I personally see no harm in moderators or even DocJohn participating in threads. I have been a member of PC for a long time, and even I have had one of my threads removed recently because I violated the rules of the forum. I understood why and was not upset at all by it. I am sorry you have had problems here, but like another poster said this is not YOUR therapy. This is therapy for EVERYONE who needs a place to come to in order to feel safe.

Try not to take things too personal, we are all here trying to do right by each other and help each other out because having good mental health and support is why we come here.
