Analysis of posts only reveals what people voluntarily report here, not what happened in their life, or in the lives of those around them.Name - Sounds like almost any clinical trial I have ever read. Do not take this the wrong way, I do not intend it to be mean, but I just want to clarify an issue or two that have been baffling me.
I cannot understand what you are trying to accomplish with your posts. Are you trying to impose your own brand of "white bread", "moral majority"-like political correctness to this site? Or is it that you think that because some are excluded for not acting like responsible adults, that this site is incapable of helping people. If you have such grievences with this site, why do you keep posting, or even return? Any site that disgusts me the way this one seems to do to you, I do not return to (eg pro-Neo-Nazi sites).
If you think that this site does do harm to those who frequently ask advice here, why not take up your issues with the AMA or the U of Chicago? They have trained experts that should be able to make judgements (or at least come to a consensus) if this site is helpful or harmful.
In reality though, it seems to me that your are being antagonistic to see whose buttons you can push. I really doubt that you sincerely feel that you are crusading in a cause against the people wronged via this site. It would seem to me (and this is only my opinion) that you just enjoy being antagonistic; that you want adult interactions, but seem to push them away with your "if you say it is hot, I say it is cold", attitude or when you relate events that occur on this board to events at that high school in Colorado (which is absurd - I find it hard to come to a rational connection between this board and Littleton).
Who are you trying to save by continuing to post here? You are not the messiah, saving the sick from the "evils" of those who subscribe to a scientifically, evidenced-based pharmacotherapy/psychotherapy form of treatment for those with mental illnesses. If you don't like the way things are done around here why do you continue to stay and post? Besides, the form and style of your writings sounds very familiar....
Sincerely - Cam
