Absolutely. I fully agree with you. I wouldn't recommend anyone yet hurting to share something like that on an open board where anyone can post. It's not a real safe place to do so.

If the person knows what they say is true then what difference does it make if someone does not believe them?

None, really. The point of the initial post I believe was to not unnecessarily hurt someone yet hurting. However, as you stated, when something like this is posted in a public forum, one has to realize they probably will receive posts such as this. If a person isn't yet ready for it, it's best to not share in this manner.

But personal insults are another issue. At what point do we stop saying things public and go PM anymore for fear of offending someone? You know there are some here that are offended at spiritualabuse site? My opinion? Too bad for them. Just ignore it if then don't like it, but do we hide that site because of someone elses sensibilities?

You make a good point. There is a difference between offending someone without intending to do so and deliberately doing such.

Any one comment here might offend someone and if just one person, do we now hide those comments in private? I think that's unreasonable.

I agree. I agree with you more than you seem to realize. Hopefully that does not offend you. (couldn't resist)
