Dr. Hsiung,
Hear is my understanding of how the post in question is not supportive.
I do not feel that any political discussion can be supportive if only one side of an issue is stated. That type of discussion has the potential to become accusitive of the person that is being written about. It also has the potential to be an attempt to advocate the election of the other person by defaming the person being posted about. This then has the potential to make the board a venue for getting votes for the other party. But isn't it a poor mental health practice to slam a person?
I am suggesting that posts of that nature not be allowed, just as other types of posts are not allowed on a mental health forum. Could there be posts that slam religious leaders?
