The published criteria for the admin board is for posting "about the operation of this site." This site, of course, being http://www.dr-bob.org/babble aka Psycho-babble. Nothing in this thread can be construed as being about the operation of psychobabble except now this post asserting this discussion should go elsewhere.Posting information about one's adverse reaction in another social setting, albeit an on-line setting similar to this one, appears consistent with the purpose of this page which is for "general discussion and support."
The "alternatives" board would not be appropriate because participation in on-line discussions is not represented as a method of treatment, but rather as a source of support for those undergoing treatments. On-line forums are a social setting, and would seem appropo for discussion in a mental health social forum.
I support the style of on-line support and educational socialization where operators of experimental on-line forums adhere to requirements that they record reports of adverse reactions. Unless there are legal liabilities involved, I don't see the merit in disallowing supportive educational posts about a possible course of action in cases where a clinician has been named in relation to a hurtful circumstance.
