I think what's being struggled with here is the direct result of pc being a community. There are a lot of different types of people here with different ideas, approaches, expectations, etc. So yeah, you're going to get (((stereo))), you're going to get some b.s., and you'll even get social pressure to conform, but you'll also get people who think and feel like you do; sharing and responding with earnest, if not always popular, blunt honesty.

It's also important to note that some cases on this site are chronic and improvements are miniscule. This doesn't make them less important.

Finally, I don't know that PC will ever fix anyone. A better use for PC is to encourage those who are working towards better health with a professional in real life.

My two cents.
