On a similar topic, I would like to know if anyone has added "Wikipedia is not a counseling or rehabilitation centre" to [[WP:NOT]] yet. We're here to write an encyclopaedia, not deal with people who have issues, however deserving of our help and/or sympathy they may be. If they need help, the Befrienders, Alcoholics' Anonymous, and other such organisations are in /that/ direction.
I don't believe people should attribute to insanity what can be attributed to ignorance or plain dickery, but when the insanity/problem is obvious, we shouldn't kid ourselves.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_therapy It's only an essay, but it says a lot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_therapy?action=histo... As you can see it was written only about 2 months ago, ENTIRELY by Fred Bauder (see differences between his last edit and the most recent edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_therapy?diff=4849837...). It's his personal opinions, it's not policy at all. In fact it should probably be in his userspace.
It's tagged as an essay for a reason.
