Nope.
I'm saying, posting publicly is generally a way of finding a group of like-minded people, and since it looks like you've already found a group to talk to who are going to support your view and might be be able to give you the positive affirmations you are seeking if you want to continue the discussion.
If they're not willing to talk here, they may be leaving you PM as the only way of conversing with them, and that's perfectly fine. I'm not choosing or ruling over the medium they choose to talk to you through, but rather, they can obviously choose how they want to talk to you.
I've posted a lot of threads myself over the years (well over 400), so I have a bit of experience when it comes to starting discussions. I know that when you start discussions here, sometimes you take a lot of heat. You're not some lone martyr. Several of my threads haven't been so popular either, and some people are never shy in voicing their opinion, which is fine.
Not everyone will agree all the time, of course. But sometimes when I found a core group of people who had been through similar things or had similar views, we chose to talk privately instead of on the forums and it's worked out well.
It's just a suggestion from my own experience, not an absolute.
