Hi Candace.
> Can't we just say 'no thanks' every so often?
Who do you feel should take on the role of judge?
I guess I am a bit of an idealist who likes to support freedom of speech in most circumstances. I worry when more and more rules are made to limit content rather than those that are in place to support civil phraseology.
Take note that the threads involving what I feel is dysinformation regarding Abilify have reached a point of pause. It is possible that freedom of speech caused this to happen. If it did, then I have good reason to take pride in our entire community to endure such an attack.
Because there are rules in place that prevent people from overgeneralizing and exaggerating, I don't think we really have to worry about an assault by one or many people who would want to promulgate propaganda or dsyinformation.
Unfortunately, it takes only one post to influence some people to behave in a fashion that is to their detriment. I don't know what to do about this.
