----------------------

I guess I disagree. I do think Pat123's response was a bit of a harsh judgment (not that I haven't made harsh judgments myself).

The opinion on whether Rzip's post was logical is as subjective as the opinion on whether Pat123's post was harsh.

From my reading of the post, Pat was saying that Rzip's post was rather silly for someone who had been claiming that no one took her seriously. I have seen posts on PSB that seemed silly or illogical to me. Just looking at the last archived PSB for examples, threads on watching the Oprah show, on fur-covered pills (pets), on Dr. Bob's new picture, and on fashion for the depressed and maniacally depressed, seem about as lightweight to me as a post on why (or whether) psychiatrists wear blue shirts, but that's just me. However, PSB is the place for those things.

To suggest that Rzip's question was invalidated and deserved Pat123's response because she phrased her question as though it were a fact instead of an opinion is a scary proposition, in my opinion.
