Given that the idea here is to not post anything that could lead other to feel accused or put down, such as not posting anything that could lead medication board posters to feel as if they were being accused of being negative or unsupportive, could you please rephrase?

I know portions of that were a quote from someone else, but Dr. Bob asks that we follow the civility guidelines even when quoting others.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil

You might particulary wish to look at the section on "I" statements. For example, an I statement in this case might be

"I often feel discouraged about my medications when reading this board. I know that others have decided to look elsewhere for support in their search for a medication that works for them."

I hope you did not find the above suggestions to be offensive. It is difficult to know how much guidance to give in explaining "I" statements to people who may or may not already be completely familiar with them.

Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions. His email is on the bottom of each page. Please feel free to email him if you believe this decision was made in error.

Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
