If you hadn't posted that, I would have had to say something.
And in this case, I'm not sure if I could have followed the guidelines, either.

You know, you guys are actually freer to act in situations that don't meet the qualifications for "escalating" than I am. At least when I'm acting ex-officio. (Is that the right term?)
I guess I could say something as plain old Dinah, but I confess to feeling a bit of constraint getting involved in something that may later escalate.
Maybe Dr. Bob has some suggestions on the matter.

I hate to butt my nose in a place where it clearly doesn't belong.. but I think the post by Aryan Soldier about Lou's mental state should not be allowed.
If LOU wants to share his mental state, that is one thing, but is it okay for someone else to share another's diagnosis to the babble world?*backs out of room*

Whopsie.
Sorry, can't remember the determination on
'best taken with a grain of salt'...
Just meant to say that I didn't figure that Lou was gonna be all intimate and share diagnostic details with the Aryan Soldier. So the Aryan Soldier is probably expressing their lay-person opinion and there is a warning about lay-person's diagnosing in the DSM. Hmm. Am I digging myself in or out???Sorry.
No offense intended...

I didn't think of it that way, but I see your potential conflict.
I have felt free to act before, as you know.
I will do it again, no doubt.Just lack of clear thoughts and low energy today stopped me, really. And you were quicker, too.
Thanks for the affirmation, though.

And I'm sure you'll do it in an exquisitely civil way, thus making sure the thread doesn't meet the formal escalation criteria. :-)
Everyone's been doing a great job of that lately. Answering posts with such restraint and civility that it's rare indeed for a thread to contain more than one post that meet the technical grounds for incivility.
Thanks, you guys!!

DR. Hsiung,
You wrote in the above that you would like the link to the posts in question. Here is the link for the post from dancingstar.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20050217/msgs/460440.html
In her post, she writes that she has a belief. Is what you wrote saying that her belief does not respect the views of others? If so, then comparing the post in question with the post by dancingstar, could that post also fall in the same catagory? If not, could you clarify what the difference is between the two posts?
In considering your reply, could you consider that dancingstar is stateing her point of view in the discussion and that your FAQ writes that different points of view are encouraged? Also, there are many doctors and psychiatrists that do not prescribe to the chemical imbalance theory of psychiatry.

Dr. Hsiung,
In the post that I have requested for your detrmination as to its acceptability in comparison with dancingstar's post, it writes,[...I believe strongly that western medicine does more harm than good...]
Dancingstar's post writes,[...Personally, I do not believe that it is a "problem" with "symptoms or a "diagnosis"...]
You write to dancingstar,[...please respect the views of others and be sensitive to their feelings...].
Now if you are saying that dancinstar's point of view , since it is different than the person taking chemicals into their body that she writes,[...proves to be poisonous...]is a point of view that is deserving that the poster that writes that point of view be expelled from this community, then are you saying that in your FAQ in relation to[...different points of view are encouraged...], that the point of view that says that there is proof that psychotropic drugs are poisonous is a point of view that can not be written here? If so, could you put that in your FAQ?
In looking at the other post, is it not also saying that the medicine practiced in the west does more harm than good?

One difference is that in the former, the other poster's being supported, while in the latter, she isn't...

> BobDR. Hsiung,
In your above reply, you wrote that one of the statements in question supports the other poster while the other does not.
The goals of the forum are for support and education. Your FAQ writes that,[...different points of view are encouraged...].
Is not, then, a different point of view supportive by the nature of the goals of the forum?
Are you saying that reinforcment is the same as support? If so, then are you saying that different points of view are not supportive unless they are the same point of view?
