I could be 100% wrong, yxibow, but I don't think Dr. Bob was (really) referring either to your post or even to Ms. Ashton's site. My guess is that he was really referring to another post about Benzo Island. And on the main page of Benzo Island, I translate what they say as, "we aren't interested in anyone's opinion that is different than ours, namely, that benzos are evil. We also are equally uninterested in any differing points of view on a way to withdraw-we all think the switch to Valium (Ashton method) the only way. In the same vein, we don't want you to tell us that any adjuctive drugs (SSRI's, etc.) work, either. If you can't abide by these rules, get off our site". Fair enough-they don't want our input, but at the same time, courtesy demands we not go to their site and make fun of them, IMO. And I think that is what Dr. Bob was talking about-not the "benzo hater"-phrase. But then, it wouldn't be the first time I was 100% wrong. :>}
