One could argue that the sensitive people, for whom many others speak, are too sensitive to say something about Lou's posts. Or one could argue that there's really no pressure, that no one is going to discard common sense and meds because of Lou's white horse and crowns and gates.
Maybe what we all find so frustrating is the relentlessness.
When the conversation turns to knights and thorns, I go away. No one is pressuring us to read Lou's posts. And if we have internet addiction and can't help but read everything that's posted, it's really not Lou's fault. And if we are so prone to suggestion that we would follow what a guy on a discussion board has said, well that's another thing altogether.
We all tell people what works for us! But just because one person with insomnia finds relief with a hot bath doesn't mean another will. And trying a hot bath could be dangerous for someone who has high blood pressure.
I know that, in certain cases, we have an obligation to speak for the victims. When dogs or children are abused, for instance. But this?
