If the posts were about PB and it's posters, it is our business.
> I don't remember what the rules are on this site but I have been to a number of other sites as well as DocJohn's. It is a usual rule not to bring posts or quote posts from another site to the one that you are on. That violates people's privacy and with a psych support site it creates the feeling to the poster that they are no longer in a safe haven. I'm sure that we would be just as upset should they come over here and do the same to us, at least I know I personally would.

> Also, for you to make a blanket statement to say that all the posts at DocJohn's site are edited is simply false. I'm sure that he has better things to do with his time than to go around editing everybody's posts and as a poster on that site, I can assure you that none of my posts have been deleted or edited by DocJohn unless I have personally asked him to. I know that your post was deleted but to my understanding, you violated the rules in that thread and that's why it was removed. He has never claimed that it didn't existed. So that again is a false statement.

> If you don't like the site, nobody is denying you that priviledge or forcing you to go there, but I would ask you to please honour the privacy and safety of the posters there, just as I would hope that you would do here. Everybody is going to have their favourites as to whatever sites they like and there are a variety to choose from. I post on both sites. Please, let's not put down where someone else who is having problems finds to be a safe haven for them. If you have a problem with DocJohn himself, then limit your discussion to him without involving those who post there in what they perceive to be private. I know I would be upset should a post of mine be dragged over here and if it is then the matter will certainly be addressed. I don't have any secrets that I've said over there but it is a matter of principle and privacy and I want to feel that when I post on a psych forum that I am safe. I'm sure we all want the same.

> > He edits all the posts- and if people don't like what he said, he takes the posts down and says that they were never there.
