Characterizing as "foolish" those who have or will undergo that treatment,I thought he was saying Szaz said it would be foolish to submit to ect in the same way he might have said it would be foolish to submit to a course of leeches meaning it would be an ineffective treatment not that the person was a fool for choosing it.
I think saying a certain treatment would be unwise according to a particular school of thought is okay but somehow I'm not surprised at all that you remain satisfied with your actions!How's Barbaro?
even when quoting or paraphrasing someone else's view, is a different issue. The latter is the subject of the PBC, not the former.
