I didn't think so either.
> I saw it as expressing frustration at the side effects of meds, like the antidepressant ad telling how wonderful your life will be on that antidepressant but then listing all the various possible side effects.
It was no such thing. I can guarantee that (& Dr. B, I'm not being presumptuous; if it looks & smells like a cuss, it probably is).

Unfortunately the chronology of the 3 threads involved tells you all you need to know. Start with the "GHB: Could anyone help me to know?" thread & then follow it to here. The cyanide post followed immediately after. It was a pop at the 'GHB [which James strongly disapproves of] is an effective treatment' posts just above. Foot-stomping IMO.
