I agree, its Bens call to close a thread.
On the other hand, if he is purporting to supply answers from "experts" and if those experts are allowing their own past experiences, beliefs and religious dogma to cloud their judgments, then perhaps the site should carry a more explicit explanation of the term "expert".
The OP in the thread finally saw a professional counselor, and his/her perception of the situation seemed far different to that of the majority of the posters on the thread, which tends to reinforce my opinion.
This is someones head you are playing with. People could read these comments and then take their lives.
No doubt some of the posters (presumably the ones who had a cheating husband) fail to care about the effects of their comments, such is the strength of their feeling on the subject. Perhaps they are the ones who should be seeking help.
Other posters seemed more interested in indulging in some form of sexual voyeurism.
In the past i have had to face the parents of a young man who took his own life over something as trivial as the comments made here. I didn't like the experience. The people who caused that event were small minded as well.
If Ben wants to ban me, then go ahead. It wont alter my opinion; Unless you know exactly what you are doing then keep out of situations like this.
