> Although touted as a peer support site, Babble has shown itself to be an asylum for an unfortunately small percentage of mental health consumers who truly do seek asylum and protection from any stimulous that might be upsetting, or even potentially upsetting.
Afterall, that is why you are here.
> Do not jostle these poor folks, lest they come completely unglued. Babble provides the interweb equivalent of Thorazine to numb them of all discomfort. This is not peer support; it's total and complete coddling.
I hope you feel well coddled and enjoy the numbness you must surely seek. Why else would you be here?
> I do not condemn this, but I do bristle at the assertion that this is a peer support site, unless one has a very narrow and exclusive definition of "peer".
I don't understand the rest. The logic escapes me. Too much coddling I guess.
I don't think I have any delusions as to what this site provides me. Perhaps you should take inventory of what it provides you before you take it upon yourself to speak for everyone else.
