What Dinah has asked is really the core of most of the problems here.
There are many people here that are vulnerable. And there are varying degrees of vulnerability, depending on the poster, the topic and the current mood of the poster (just came out of a therapy session, for example)
This can also vary according to the wording of the person who replies. Two people can say exactly the same thing with good intentions, but because of the wording one is taken kindly and the other looks like an attack.
So, how to respect those who are vulnerable and not stifle those who enjoy debates? Not easy.
