> > Today I got an email. Over a year ago, I posted the first Gate on a board that is for people trying to be free from the addiction to BZDs... Today, the email was from a person that saw that message. He has been free from Klonopin for 5 months now, even though he was addicted for 10 years. He attributed his start to overcomming his addiction to that message.

Now it appears to me that after reading many of the posts on this board that the drugs themselves will cause a chemical imbalance.
Maybe "thousands" is exaggerating, but IMO those are OK. But YMMV.
> If you'd rather, I'll demand a chorus of pbc's for Lou and his crusade. I think the only way to handle his constant comments, is with a little humor or to demand he be removed from the site. Then he screams bloody-murder about his 'rights.'
I'd rather you didn't make lots of demands. How about the humor option instead? :-)
> so many of us are constantly struggling with our decision to take medication for our illness. having said that, i feel Lou is walking in dangerous territory.
I agree, it may be dangerous, but it's discussed in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#trust
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#decide
And in general, I'd like to encourage different points of view.
This isn't always easy, and I know I'm not perfect. I want to be open to feedback, but if you could also please try to accept what I decide and to trust that I'm doing my best to be fair and to do what I think will be good for this community as a whole, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
