Dr. Bob,
Here is a repost of my questions to you regarding the warning to me to be civil. I added a few things too.
Dr. Bob,
>
> "Perhaps you havent had the time or the interest to read any of my past postings."> I don't think that was a civil response. It felt more sarcastic to me. I did go back and read some of her posts and it appears she has had problems before(see the Alan thread above). Should I expect someone to do a "message post" background check on me before they post a response to me?
>
> Also, when a person states "their patients" it makes one think they are a doctor or therapist since they admitted they were giving advice. That is why I inferred they had not experienced an illness and why I went on to explain what it felt like to me. Does that not seem like a mis-representation on a board such as this to refer to one as having patients? This was misleading to me. Would you tolerate a nurse on your staff giving benzo advice to your patients? Do you know how confused many of us would be if that happened when we had an panic attack, etc,? Put yourself in the patients shoes just for a moment. If I disagree how do I state it civily? Is it civil to state "I am sorry but they are your doctors patients"??I think people should be civil and not misleading. Am I missing something here? I think I am not the only one that should have been told to be civil. Sarcasm can cut just as deep, no matter how sly one is with their wording. Sorry I am just more straight forward. Thanks for listening.
