I think some casual readers may view a 2 x 4 as bullying.
I have yet to read anyone looking for advice respond in any way that they appeared bullied, and most celebrated and welcomed in the input...
I know some posters are hard headed, I am among them... And I have seen some heated debates here on the effectiveness of a variety of approaches, but I don't recall reading any threads that were bullying actual visitors... just some heated debate amongst veterans and to my mind that's healthy...
Some websites even have a private forum dedicated to more heated disputes...
