These are some really good points. I have had good and bad therapy experiences and like to discuss all views. I also have strong interest in advocacy.

There have been several times where someone posts about a negative experience with a T, and a whole bunch of people who normally view therapy positively reply that the T is 'bad' or incompetent or x, but I was the sole person or among a few that saw the T as competent. I have trouble understanding how the forum and therapy clients as a group would benefit from segregation rather than a wide variety of views.

I tend to agree especially with some points raised earlier. It can be ostracizing enough for people to experience trauma in a society where therapy and medications are the default and even sometimes considered 'curative' which is already misleading as therapy trauma is swept under the rug. People may feel isolated or left out among all the positive stories, and further isolated by being relegated to a non-mainstream forum. This in itself can be triggering and lead to further feelings of inadequacy, isolation, defective, or ostracization. Given that, since everyone gets triggered, I think the weight should be tilted more toward inclusion not exclusion.

No one is required to accommodate others outside following the rules here, but maybe those feeling positive and strong can use the benefits they received from therapy to help others, or to at least be more tolerant, compassionate, or empathetic towards others.

I still don't understand the need for the romantic forum as again, the same topics are repeated in both forums.
