I'm glad you are ok with discussing the "good" as well as the bad, but it seems that as soon as anyone posts about their good experience they are jumped upon with accusations that their experiences aren't valid if they haven't suffered enough, with "enough" defined as the amount of suffering experienced by the persons making the accusations. Some are pretty aggressive in their criticism, using the excuse that their bluntness reflects reality.

We all have different paths that involve different challenges. Some of us choose to meet these challenges head-on, others by more subtle means. Sharing these challenges is important, but belittling others because they have chosen a different approach produces nothing constructive.
