I'll be your buddy (if you like), but not your civility buddy.
It is highly unfortunate if posts on a mental health forum now have to be so sanitised that it is virtually impossible for posters to express their beliefs and emotions.
I do not understand what Dr. B is trying to achieve here. Is it an expression of power? Or perhaps some perculiar attempt to be therapeutic? Sorry, but I don't get it. In my opinion, the forum is being damaged, which really is unfortunate.
I have often wondered whether Dr. B has been affected by so much criticism. It has to have an effect. I know it would affect me. Criticism is often extremely difficult to deal with, and the way in which people deal with it is often detrimental.
