In reply to ditto, Dr. Bob. This is so discouraging Part II, posted by TofuEmmy on June 28, 2004, at 9:16:01
Posters X and Y were not considered uncivil, no matter how hurt posters felt at their comments, because they were speaking clinically not personally.
No matter how much pain a clinical description or observation may cause, it's not considered uncivil. I don't have clarity on whether or not the clinical description has to have any support or whether it can just be pure speculation or brand new theory. Nor am I completely clear on whether a poster has to admit to a diagnosis before the clinical descriptions can be used, or if the would be clinician can just speculate on a poster's diagnosis.
That's it. That's the rule. Period.
The only allowable recourse on this board is a do not post to me request. Dr. Bob will not provide any other sort of protection or administrative action.
Dr. Bob, do I have the basics right?
