> B. you say that the benefits of having such discussions could outweigh the potential harms if minimized, what could a benefit be?

The benefit could be improved rules, or improved understanding of the rules.

> E. Would you agree that the past practice here is that posts on the admin board have to abide by the same rules as the rest of the boards and that posts are to be civil at all times?
> F. In your TOS, it states not to post anything that could lead one to feel accused or put down. Is there something in your TOS that lists exceptions to your rule here? If so, where is it?

No, that hasn't been the past practice. The introductions to the other boards all say they're for "support". The introduction here just says it's for "discussion". On Admin, civility is still important, but there are also other goals, so sometimes there needs to be compromise.

One fact is that millions of Jews have in the past been murdered. I've been thinking about how people exposed to trauma can have negative emotions and expectations afterward. What about someone who wasn't exposed to trauma themselves, but whose people were? Could they also be hypervigilant, irritable, self-destructive, etc.?
