Exactly. The tone was very hurtful. Definitely not civil!
There was talk of the chemical structure of the drugs but not their pharmacological activity - which is more relevent. For example, desipramine is structurally very similar to clomipramine but its properties are not the same. There was an attempt to appear scientific (dibenzazepines etc) but it gave the impression of being cut and pasted from the PDR. Some of the PDR is out of date, self-serving (for the manufacturers - think litigation) and not consistent with current expert opinion.
I am not sure of the motive behind the post, but I do not think it was to help Maxime.
