Its pretty sweeping to diagnosis some of us as having MÜNCHAUSEN'S SYNDROME. I hope you arent doing a psychology/medical course!
Apart from the fact I disagree anyway, this is way,way beyond what is even possible to 'diagnose' solely on the basis of posts. As well as this being an emotionally loaded way of labelling people (we are making up our symptoms as a form of attention seeking, cos we want the attention of health profs?! If only!!!!)
Your post also doesn't seem to recognise how dismissive/insulting such a statement can be.
I'm OK as I am clear that you dont have the actual expertise or information to actually make such a diagnosis. And I know I dont have it! But I do find it irritating.
I am relieved that Dr Bob has the copyright clarity. I would find it offensive to parts of my posts quoted in someone's project that had the problems as listed above.
I hope that your study is productive, getting its data elsewhere. I'm not having a go at you- just giving some feedback about crossing boundaries on what you can/should do.
