If the forum comes in all loggerheads with people who post about their past sins and heartaches and start bickering with each other, we lose an opportunity to speak into their lives. You can confront and say the truth without unnecessarily driving people away.
Imagine you worked in an office and you had a co-worker who told you she was fornicating. You could calmly and in a gentle tone of voice explain to her that fornication is a sin, or you could jump up on her desk, point at her with your finger and loudly scream at her in an Appalachian preacher tone of voice and call her a fornicator and yell about fornicators going to Hell why the office watches you scuff the death. You might be telling the truth, but you'd likely repel your audience with the delivery.
If someone comes on here pouring their heart out, and they get called a liar, that may repel them as well.
