"Active listening" seems like a very constructive response - I hear what you're saying, thank you for sharing and caring enough to share.

What seems strange, and discouraging to me is when people make it about the poster and not the posted topic. They question their "credentials" for posting such a thing, or dismiss or minimize the person's experience, especially when it does not reflect a popular or majority view.

I hope that posters, including new posters, keep sharing and caring in spite of that.
Bravo
