I speak only for myself, of course, but I think the problem in this thread wasn't the topic. Depression is something that is a worthy topic of discussion. Heck, I talk about it with my therapist, my family, and in my journal on a pretty regular basis. It was the attitude, an OP that begins discussion by directly insulting people, and an attitude, by his own admission, that Jinn wanted only to preach at people and not actually discuss the subject.
Unless you were planning on directly insulting people with no intention of actually discussing things, I think the same issues likely wouldn't apply to your potential thread.
