Bob - How do you know Sal is going to direct that person to an ER? That assumption cannot be made. What if he tells people to pray to Judeo-Christian god? That can be dangerous if one is not Christian.
He is, more and more, asking people to talk to him on AOL Messenger (because he likes taking in "real time"). This takes away the safety net of other posters. This situation may be amusing to you, but it frightens the hell out of me. Sal has good intentions, but (as I said before) the graveyard is full of good intentions. Are you willing to take partial responsibility for anyone he may kill with his advice?
Sal is playing doctor (living vicariously through his dad). He thinks that he is being helpful by dissmenintating information he doesn't understand. I really hope that you read his posts a lttile more carefully, and see what is really going on here.
