Dr. Hsiung,
I am asking you to make a determination as to if the poster's statements in the following could be addressed by you.
The poster is writing that I should be limited to the amount of posts in some way. I belive that you have already addressed this previously when a poster wanted my posting style changed to prohibit me from using my style of paraphrasing instead of quoting. You posted that if you did do that, that you would be limiting freedom of speech and that you did not want to restrict it further. You also stated that there were others that said that there could be misunderstandings from paraphrasing and you replied that even so, misunderstandings can be cleared up. also, I remember a situation where there were posters wanting me to stop using the sucessive posts in my posting style. I can't remember all of it but i remember you writing in response to them that [...he is not hurting anyone..] (by posting that way).
Below is the link about that youdo not want to restrict freedom of speech further, and the link to the post in question and I am still serching for the link about [...he is not hurting anyone...].
I also want to say that I feel accused by the poster in question when he writes that he feels disrespected. I do not feel that anyone should have to feel that they are disrespecting someone because they post in a different or even unconventional manner on a mental health forum. I have great limitations to writing due to a rare neurological condition. I can no post like others because of this condition. I do not feel that I haveto explaine this condition to the poster when he writes,[...how so...?] in response to me writing that this condition of mine limits me. I also do not think that there is any need to create some type of quota system for there are numerous boards here filled with people wanting to converse and poeople do not have to converse with me, for they are free to join another group of posters. Right now I see people desirering companionship from others in these boards. I do not think that because I am answering others posts to me , and posts that have the potential to be about me, to cause me to be limited in my responses to them.
Also, if someone does not like to read what I write because of my style, I am sorry, but I can not do any better. An alternative to those people could be for them to not read what I write and I remember you saying that a few years ago.
Scott writes that [...there will be an arbitrary posting limit...]. Have you and him emailed with each other and decided already that there will be this arbitray limit? If so, I think that allowing all of the members to give their input to this quota number would be more supportivethan if the number was assigned by others withou discussion with the members.

Dr. Hsiung,
Another aspect of this is that there may be others that post more than me. I see Dinah on several boards now. I havn't counted the number of posts, but she does post a lot. I also want you to adress the fact that the posters that want me to not post in my style, direct posts to me. NOw this brings up that I am not necessarrily the most prolific poster here, and the number of posts by me are a result of the posters directing posts to me for discussion and for me to reply to them. Am I, or anyone else, to be restrained from replying in a discussion? I do not feel that that would further the goal of support here.

I can verify to you that Dr. Hsiung and I have not corresponded regarding posting limitations. I was describing a possible alternative. Perhaps I should have written "...there could be an arbitrary posting limit..." Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Sorry to interrupt, but to consolidate the discussion, I'd like to redirect this thread to an earlier one:
