Hi Mitchell.
> The real risk, and I think the one the administrator cited, is the risk of providing a forum where people may advocate participation in illegal activity. To be more precise, I don't think the concern is that people will advocate illegal activity, but rather that the forum will be implicated in illegal activity. I think an administrator would do well to consider how an attorney general might view a discussion where amateur diagnoses are coupled with recommendations of medications and instructions about how to get those medications outside the law.
Regarding legality, I think we should allow that to remain the responsibility of those who facilitate this website to ascertain. It's really their problem and not yours or mine.
