> BobOne of the first things that makes me feel supported is if someone replies to me directly. An example is given below where I felt ignored (unsupported) because the writer didn't address his issue with me directly but rather to a third party. The second thing that made me feel unsupported was that after apologizing he didn't acknowledge it. So the two criteria I propose are:
a) Although it is not mandatory to respond to another's post directed to you, bringing to the attention of a third party a post directed to you without first replying to the person who initially wrote to you is unsupportive.
b) While apologies can be accepted or not, not acknowledging them either way is unsupportive.
Dr Hsiung and Dinah,

I feel accused and put down when I read the post.
