If you stay around this community long enough you will find that there are many different views and opinions expressed on a wide variety of topics. You will find that on the whole the views that are expressed here are anything but along "the orthodox party lines", though that is not to say that such views are not expressed from time to time :).I still believe that you should stay around for while before discounting or dimissing this site. I know that if you are new to the site and then you almost immediately get a post from the site administrator asking you to be "civil" that it can seem like a "kick in the teeth". This can seem very dismissive of your views and concerns and has probably annoyed you or even upset you when you least need it (especially if you are already suffering from something like depression).
All I can say is that there are many people on this site that have had similar warnings from the site administrator and that these people remain as valuable contributors to this site. Nobody is going to hold it against you. I personally find it very valuable to this site and actually welcome contributors with opposing or confronting views on a topic as this provides a very necessary balancing factor to the site.
However I can also understand that you may have already decided that this site is not for you and if you decide to leave I can only wish you well and hope that you can find the answers you are looking for elsewhere, though I am completely convinced that you will go a long way to finding some answers if you stay :).
best wishes

By the way your spelling comment has made me a bit paranoid and I have checked this post several time to make sure that there are no spelling errors. I don't think I've made any but you never know :)
