Okay , so then all anyone has to do is to say I believe and that makes all the difference. So if the person above had said" I believe all these people that say they love effexor xr, will reach a point where they think they don't need it anymore, try to go off and...hate it then", that would make all the difference to you?If I say "Mary is a big fool", that is significantly different from saying , "I believe Mary is a big fool?"
"I believe" is always implied unless a specific other source is quoted--underneath the surface, it's simply semantics.We can go back and forth forever on the issue of semantics.
My basic point is that posts should not be censored for inaccurate or non-supportive information.
Or, rather, I BELIEVE that posts should not be censored for inaccurate or non-supportive information.Shelli
