Well, I see what you are saying, but the group chooses how it reacts to individual issues. It is not mandated that everyone who comes here will find sympathy. Humans are a fickle, unpredictable lot, I suppose. But certainly you have not found TFP to be lacking in tough love before?
I thinks it's commendable that you spoke out for a more sympathetic response to drews' concerns, but a lot of times we will find ourselves at odds with the way people react to certain threads. I know I do - and when I do I say so. It's just part and parcel of the wide diversity of personalities and opinions we have here.
