> What is wrong, in this specific instance, is that some people swear by meds while giving a bad reputation to any other approach on PB. By constantly redirecting, Dr.Bob does not even let us reply to that. I go write my reply on SPB, nobody knows what the heck I'm talking about and that's the end of it. Go look: nobody replied in SPB. There is one response only, which had to be redirected from PB anyway, by DrBob. I should think this is right?
Sid,
But in fact you never did reply on PSB at all. I was waiting to see you there. Instead you made all your answers on PB arguing about why the thread should not be redirected. I certainly got the impression that you did not want to continue the conversation at all if you had to do it there. I wouldn't be surprised if other people were offended as well. Not all threads will continue - some are ready to die at the point they are redirected - but I think you could have kept this one going if you'd bothered.
> So someone not too informed, looking for info, who sees this CBT bashing, may not go further and think that meds are the only thing that can help him. Don't waste time on CBT is the message.
Maybe they are. Maybe they shouldn't. And maybe by the time we get here we are not all as ill informed as you think. After all, there are a lot of other web sites that very carefully give CBT equal time and it's pretty hard to miss them all on your way here. Many of them are designed on a basic level. When I want a certain kind of carefully edited information that is where I go. This site doesn't exist by itself so there is no reason that every single word written here has to be totally balanced within this site alone.
