Just wanted to float the idea of thread for people to let off a little steam if there's something on their minds. No judging or unwanted suggestions just a virtual mug of tea and a sympathetic ear.

I think, however, there are many drawbacks in that the threads are public and present lack of confidentiality and there's no control over what replies may be posted or whether any thread 'rules and guidelines' would be followed.

At times I feel it may be a good good idea and then think it's terrible and just wishful thinking.

Could anyone chip in their ten penneth. Can anyone see how it could work?

The sentiment is is well intended.
It's good to talk and discuss things.
Some times it can be easier to open up to people you don't know.

Personally I don't feel this forum or chat is the right place for what's suggested. Your second paragraph comprehensivly covers most of the reasons not too.

I think more private or specialist groups would be better able to support.

Best wishes & remember... Have fun

I can only echo the reply that @Adie has left above. I also think that while I always think it’s good to talk, it’s more often than not more beneficial when done in a more private confidential manner

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think that's just what I needed - an echo of my thoughts so I can put the idea to bed....

...and give it a damn good beating with a riding crop. ;):D
