> I did use the word "childish" in a thread on the Medications board about the happiness of giving up one's psych meds and I can see how that could be construed as hurtful even though it was not directed at any one person, but at a kind of incohate social movement in the US, which seems to me like a rebirth of Puritanism and is certainly paranoid and anti-intellectual in character. Be that as it may, I was responding to a series of posts that implied those of us who take psych meds are uninformed and ignorant about the medications we take and that if we knew the truth we'd toss the pill bottles in the trash. That is deeply offensive, yet it goes uncensured by the administrator, while my sociological observation earns notice from Dr. Bob. This is not even-handed.

cj,
You wrote,[...a rebirth of Puritanism...is certainly xxx and yyy in character..], [...that is ... xxx...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here and if you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What in Puritanism are you referring to?
B. What citeria, if any, do you use to say that what the poster wrote that you are referring to is connected in some way with Puritanism?
C. Then what criteria, if any, are you using to say that it is xxx and yyy in charater?
D. other questions if the above have answers posted here.
