That's a really interesting point, some people seem to be more willing to risk a faceful of me than a faceful of other posters.
> I know you are not her p-doc, the point in case you did not understand me is I feel that your feeling put down should have been something in training you learned to deal with and having a mental health site you would recognize will happen from time to time and most administrators of anything whether it is a website or business etc will feel put down or even hurt but need to for harmony and getting along with others overlook and rise above it.
I think my training may have been a factor in that double standard. Administrators may appreciate the need for harmony and be more willing than p-docs to have customers escorted out.
