I did use the word "childish" in a thread on the Medications board about the happiness of giving up one's psych meds and I can see how that could be construed as hurtful even though it was not directed at any one person, but at a kind of incohate social movement in the US, which seems to me like a rebirth of Puritanism and is certainly paranoid and anti-intellectual in character. Be that as it may, I was responding to a series of posts that implied those of us who take psych meds are uninformed and ignorant about the medications we take and that if we knew the truth we'd toss the pill bottles in the trash. That is deeply offensive, yet it goes uncensured by the administrator, while my sociological observation earns notice from Dr. Bob. This is not even-handed.
