In your above reply, you wrote that one of the statements in question supports the other poster while the other does not.
The goals of the forum are for support and education. Your FAQ writes that,[...different points of view are encouraged...].
Is not, then, a different point of view supportive by the nature of the goals of the forum?
Are you saying that reinforcment is the same as support? If so, then are you saying that different points of view are not supportive unless they are the same point of view?
