And that's why we're a support community first and foremost, not a "this is the way to do it, and if you don't agree, then I can't help you" community.

It's fine to express your opinion when other people ask for it in a thread or such. But if you offer it with it being asked for, especially a strong opinion chastising another person for their thinking, behavior or feelings, then I think you may be missing the point of a support community -- to offer empathetic (and hopefully nonjudgmental) support to one another.

It's like parents...... they think they know everything and want to tell their kids all the bad things they shouldn't do. But it falls on deaf ears if the child or teen isn't open to listening or hearing such an opinion. It takes two people to have a conversation, otherwise you might just as well be talking to a wall.
