Of course. You can choose to take it personally, and / or respond from your personal experience, if you wish. I just meant to convey that sometimes(?) most times(?) people have personal reasons for raising issues rather than their attempting personal attacks on us and / or to say things in opposition to our experience.

Even when people are intentionally raising issues in an attempt to personally attack or oppose that kind of indicates that there is something else going on...

I'm kinda interested in why Riptide is so interested in this issue... They said something before about having chosen not to pursue clinical psychology as a career... I'm wondering how this issue may relate to that...
