What I don't understand is why you are so hard on Chemist and others who care so much about this board and the people who post on it... Can't their be some leniency for those with good intentions?

Perhaps as the moderator who's role it is to promote equality, that is a luxury you cannot afford...

>Maybe the best way to have stated the above would be "I believe that combining alcohol and barbituates may be unhealthy." The reason I say this is the 'debate' over MPD, and some saying that it's a black and white issue (aka I am right, everyone else is wrong.) Then there are the counter-attacks, and it becomes just one big mess. Of course there is still some 'gray' in this area, but we can try to minimize it.
Best wishes,
