> >Hannah - I don't think Coral took any offense. I do agree with her however and would like to add 1 additional point. Since PSB started up, I don't visit PB very frequently and frankly miss the input of some people who were fairly regular posters. If you split PSB, the same would happen I think. When a post comes in from someone who is really in a state of extremis, there are lots of experienced folks here who can and do jump in. That might not be the case if there was a further fracture of the board. ksvt
Dear Hannah,

I deeply believe that socialization, being silly or funny and personal expression are among the highest forms of mental health support and would be more than happy to cite references, if you'd like.

I suspect that's why this board is called Psycho-Social Babble.

> Coral My suggestion that the creative board be called Psychoticbreakbabble was meant in a humorous way, suggestive of coffeebreak perhaps? And certainly was not meant to offend you!! This suggestion was not meant as criticism of you or anyone else. ( I guess that's what happens when I took the risk of expressing myself humorously ;o)
> I didn't mean to imply that socializing was not a form of mental health support!! Of course it is.
