> Nice post, but it didn't answer my question: "Can you please explain why you posted your `reminder' in a thread that was about purchasing textbooks?"
Please don't put pressure on others. If someone would rather not answer a question, that's their choice.
> I think it's safe to say that quite a few people on PB have been hounded about the need for "psychosocial" therapy/support more than they would like already. To these people (and I know I'm not the only one), your post came across as preachy.
> you just decided to devote an entire message to it in an apparent effort to sidetrack
Also, please don't post anything that others could take as accusatory.
> I don't deny that my words were a little inhospitable (& therefore inappropriate) but I should point out that I was merely responding to a post directed towards me...

> My crime was not being able to keep a lid on my temper...I wouldn't call it a crime, but I agree, it would've been more civil to have kept a lid on your temper, despite what was directed towards you.
> people should be able to post on a wide0scal;e of emotions, i don't think everything on this board should be "supportive," good argumentation leads some place;Argumentation is fine, but needs to be civil.
> Those feelings of empathy, hope, kindness, they are just as much a tool in the fight against depression as some chemical compound. I honestly pity and feel sorry for those who ignore these qualities. It's very nice to see someone like you and many on here who use those qualities.I hope you weren't implying that you pitied other people here...
> This subject is getting worn out and I'm sure should be on admin by now.I agree. Further posts about posting (rather than psychosocial support), should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. Thanks,
Bob
