You wrote,[...hurt I think is inevitable.... let's try to minimize {it},(hurt), as much as possible...].
The post that you replied to writes in part,[...I would like if YOU could explain, when asked, for greater explanation...] (the (YOU) in caps was as written by the member).
You cited a statement by a member,(Sam), as explaining that (well). Sam wrote,
[...are you going to reconsider...]and,
[...they ..hurt us all...]and,
[...I don't think there is much education...]and,
[...just hurt...]and,
[...babble about {hurt}?...]
I am unsure as to what the the grammatical structure could mean of your reply to the statement that the member had to you,[...I would like if (YOU) could explain, when asked,for greater explanation...]. My next post will go into the details and questions that could arrise from your reply here to the member.
If anyone is considering posting a response in this thread, I would like for you to email me if you like to see the historical parallels that could be involved in this discussion and perhaps by knowing what I could email to you that other psychiatrists/psychologists write that may be unbeknownst to you, that could help you IMO to make your own determination as to some aspects of this discussion that could or could could not be relevant to mental health concepts.
