with a risk that future users who are not receiving professional help stumble upon solutions that present a risk of being hurtful to them?
Honestly this is slightly hyperbolic. Not to say that there isn't any risk, but any information shared on any website runs a tiny risk of being misunderstood or misused by someone.
Erring on the side of caution makes sense in a lot of cases, but I think there's also a distinct possibility that being too cautious can become an error.
If we become too cautious we may be starting down the slippery slope of censoring any post that could be misunderstood or misused, which could easily become nearly all more meaningful questions.
What's left after the more meaningful questions are all too dangerous? The light/simple etiquette, questions that tend to be resolved by a dozen answers applying roughly the same "common sense". Basically we're left with a site that isn't particularly useful for anyone.
