I don't think that's a fair statement.

There's been plenty of times when I've read something someone's said and have thought they've been making the wrong choices but have held my tongue (fingers) simply because it's not up to me to tell someone else they're being a knobhead, no matter how gently I might try to couch my words. There are a number of issues I feel very strongly about but which I rarely comment on simply out of respect for the other poster.

There is no need to be hurtful towards someone who's already hurting. It's as simple as that. If it's good enough for one, it's good enough for all. If not, this community is not the one it claims to be.
