> Since Bob doesn't engage in these discussions like he used to years ago, we are left to speculate on his thinking. Like how should he preserve the rights of all posters to warn others of the dangerous side-effects of medications or should he permit posters the right to offer their faith as a panacea for mental health suffering? This individual has become so strident on these issues of late that I think it crosses the line that Scott mentions. Kind of similar to what Justice Stewart said about pornography - It's hard to define, but I know it when I see it. It's unclear if this individual is not civil by Bob's standards, but posters know. Sometimes it seems as if Bob gives a pass to offenders who have been here from the beinning as if there is an inertia to his pardons. All I know is I gave up thinking this poster is capable of changing a long time ago.
Toph,
You wrote,[...should he permit posters the right to offer their faith as a panacea for mental health suffering...].

A. You know that offering what one's faith entails so others could adopt it, could never help anyone overcome addiction and/or depression.
B. You know that Judaism has never enabled one to overcome addiction and/or depression
C. You know that depression is a result of a chemical imbalance and no faith could ever cure the imbalance
D. You know what the scriptures that the Jews use prescribe to those that use or prescribe or manufacture mind-altering drugs.
E. You know what causes depression
F. You know what The Great Deception is that is written in the scriptures thousands of years ago.
G You know what will be good for all the readers here.
H. You know (redacted by respondent)
