Dr. Bob,
It's really hard to evaluate wording without context. But just looking at those two statements, I believe both are stating an opinion. This is based on the words "I think". In addition, the first sentence is softer, and seems to me less likely to be perceived as uncivil. Presumably the second sentence would related to facts or issues discussed supporting why the poster feels therapy "is" a bad choice. But I am assuming a great deal of context here.I guess I am assuming that said opinion was asked for or at least given within an otherwise civil post. There might be very good reasons a poster might think that. The poster is not saying all therapy is bad, or that said person is flawed or a lesser or weaker person if they are not a good therapy candidate.
Can you tell me a bit about your thougts on how this might be judgemental?
