> There were in response to other posters comments - which frankly are at least on a par with mine for "civility" & some have in all honesty been ruder & qualify in every way for what I am being accused of.
Again, please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
Since you are new to the site, I really do encourage you to read the FAQ on civility.

> As far as I can see; the only basis for having reprimanded me; instead of them; or including them as well - is because they pay homage to the Orthodox Psychiatric viewpoint & no other reason.
The basis for reprimanding *anyone* is the civility guidelines of this site.
It is not Dr. Bob's policy for Administration to read every post for incivilities. The site relies on poster notifications, through the notify administration button *not* on board, for consistency of administrative action. If you believe a post to be in violation of site guidelines, please report it to Administration through the button provided for that purpose.
> I don't really understand how any open conversation can be had with such a tyrannical application of forum rules; based almost entirely on the most arbitrary & subjective of interpretations. It seems quite ridiculous.Per the FAQ:
"Different points of view are fine, and in fact encouraged, but your freedom of speech is limited here."
Open conversation is fine, as long as it is not in violation of site guidelines. I realize that some people might not agree with the rules. However, if anyone continues to violate site rules after a warning, they will be blocked from posting for one week. The lengths of blocks after that are calculated by the formula contained in the FAQ.
