On Figurative Ledge - Talk Me Down?

[mj144]

Sorry about that dbmod. Momentary lapse of reason. We won't let it happen again.

Just curious though, why is the policy as such to keep from any personal contact? Wouldn't you think that some folks might be able to really help one another out if they were able to make individual contact with one another? Especially those that live near one another. Aren't we all trying to help the best way we can? Why is this viewed in a negative way?

Just wondering.
