> This would involve your using your own extensive medical knowledge and leadership ability to help newcomers, especially, distinguish between scientifically-based concerns, which are always present and need to be considered carefully, and extreme individual reactions which are not explicable in this manner. Even a minimum of scientific leadership in the situation in question would have helped Psychobabble retain a more professional, reliable status for newcomers.
That's one vision for a web site. But I've always seen Babble as a place for peer support, not support from me. Which could be a source of dissatisfaction. I'm an authority figure who withholds his extensive medical knowledge and leadership ability.
