PB - The Internet Asylum

Posted by ron1953 on July 22, 2010, at 19:36:22

Although touted as a peer support site, Babble has shown itself to be an asylum for an unfortunately small percentage of mental health consumers who truly do seek asylum and protection from any stimulous that might be upsetting, or even potentially upsetting. Do not jostle these poor folks, lest they come completely unglued. Babble provides the interweb equivalent of Thorazine to numb them of all discomfort. This is not peer support; it's total and complete coddling.
I do not condemn this, but I do bristle at the assertion that this is a peer support site, unless one has a very narrow and exclusive definition of "peer". And "exclusive" is the operative word, as this site excludes a significally large number of people who could benefit from, and give benefit to a true peer support environment.
Basically, false advertising. Possibly delusion.
