The discussion above is, in my opinion, just as valid as it is interesting, BUT I feel it does not really belong in the introductions section. It should in fact be moved and get its very own thread as I guess it would make an interesting topic for many to debate!
Following quote reads from under the Break the Ice-sections heading: "This Forum is to break the ice...the initial anxiety of posting in a community thinking others will judge." And please correct me here if I´m wrong, but isn´t the discussion above quite judgemental in it´s tone? We as an audience, I feel, do not know enough about "R´s" personal circumstances to be drawing generalising conclusions referring to her "problem", as I feel has been made above. "R" was looking for help and to connect with people who were finding themselves in circumstances similar to hers, not to get her head bitten off.
Besides, I haven´t seen any other new member recieving that kind of welcome.
