something I can not relate to - sorry this is a personal belief. Life and death questions are bound to cause the responder to draw on their personal, religous and family value cores - some may say spirit - in heart felt response to the desperate cries for help.
That is why we have crisis centers! Advisors trained to listen and ask specific questions.
They have the advantage of give and take communication. They can immediately correct a statement taken out of context. They learn of the person's "spirit"
This board needs to be careful that it does not try to become more then what it was designed to be.
