> Bob - Are they going to fake a disorder, or are they going to be honest? I don't want to offer support to people who are BS'ing us. That's unkind to Babblers who would be concerned and worried about people posting here. That would be upsetting people with mental illness, just for....sport? Call it education - but it's not what we signed up for. The agreement when we signed on said we weren't part of an experiment.

It is written here,[...are they going to fake a disorder or are they going to be honest?...]
Mr. Hsiung has specified that the participants {...will be here for support and education...}
I ask: What in Mr. Hsiung's post, if there something there, could give a foundation for the statement in question?
It is written here,[...people who are XXXing us...]
I ask: Where is there in Mr. Hsiung's post that gives a foundation for anyone XXXing us?
It is written here,[...the agreement..said we wern't part of an experiment...].
Mr Hsiung has specified in his post here that {...Babble will be part of a new reserch project..participants in this research project {...may be >joining our community< here...}and that those participants are here for support and education.
I ask: Is there something in Mr. Hsiung's post here that says that we are part of an experiment? If anyone can point that out to me, I would appreciate it.
It is written here,[...use Babble as intended?...].
Mr. Hsiung has posted that the intention of the participants is not to study members and that the participants will be here for the same purpose as the existing members for support and education.
