Deconversion and/or telling the folks sticky thread

[Angrboda]

I understand the concern, and think it wise. However, and yes this is something of a stretch, but I come back to the maxim that the remedy for bad speech is more speech. You may be protecting them from reckless advice, but you might also be depriving them of words, wisdom, or support that is valuable. So like Tibbers, I disagree with locking or otherwise censoring such threads, but agree that there is a need there. Perhaps modding the first response with a short boilerplate with a link to a sticky, and then a response containing a longer boilerplate (but which of course will end up later in the thread). Short and concise being watchwords, as people will ignore links to stickies, and tune out overly long... nagging? I don't mean that, but you know how people react, no matter how neutrally and respectfully you word things, there will always be people who take things the wrong way.

Anyway. My two cents. (Not adjusted for inflation)
