[QUOTE="seebs, post: 7382444, member: 61529"] I would think that "everyone is emotionally healthy" is a thing you should state explicitly in your table contract, or just not do. I know a [I]lot[/I] more people who have at least one mental health problem than I do people with none at all. It's like physical health, really. Do I actually know [I]anyone[/I] who doesn't need glasses, doesn't have any joint problems or high blood pressure or Mysterious Problem That We're Still Trying To Figure Out? I don't think I do. I was going to say I knew one, but then I remembered the "every so often has constant stomach pain for a day or two, doctors have no ideas but have suggested avoiding ibuprofen while they do more research" thing. Now, lots of people are probably healthy [I]enough[/I], most of the time. But if you're just taking it for granted that no one in a group of five or six adults has at least one severe trauma lurking in their past, that's just not consistent with observable reality. And yes, the people with trauma are asking for allowances. That's because they're the ones who need them. It's like the way the people with wheelchairs are asking for accommodations, not the people who don't want to install wheelchair ramps. But we generally have an understanding that we get better results when reasonable accommodations are a thing. [/QUOTE]
