Dymphna,
to put it bluntly you are an insensitive cow.
Its not just this instance, you do it on a regular basis.Would it kill you to be civil and decent to people who are obviously in a bad place and trying to get help?
Grow up and try being nice to people. You are just a nasty human being. End of story.

Hi Dymphna.
I don't know anything about you, and I have visited your website on just a handful of occasions. I was disturbed by your words to Maxime. Believe it or not, they would not be considered civil on Psycho-Babble, and the moderators would intervene on everyone's behalf. I don't take ownership of anyone's words but my own. Knowing how emotionally vulnerable and sensitive to criticism mental illnesses can leave one, I try to be communicate with others here with that in mind.

But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're bad people, and I'm sorry if this hurts you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. In a crisis, please also get help in person. You may also wish to check out a listing compiled by a poster of helpful web pages on coping with crisis at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psycho-babble-tips/links/Coping_with_crisis_001012507973
I do hope that you choose to remain a member of this community and that members of this community help you, if needed, to avoid future blocks. Scott, thanks for trying to help this time.
It's up to you to decide whom you interact with. Sometimes interacting with others may be frustrating, staying civil may be a challenge, and new skills may help. If you're open to developing new skills (which I realize may not be why you came in the first place), that's another way in which you may be supported by other posters.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

Still treading water. I've been worse, though. Right now, it appears that I am responding somewhat to Nardil. I am definitely better on it than off it. I'll try to remain patient. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

> 49erFriends,
I would like for you to nootice the skill that Dymphna used in the post in question. She saw that a combination of drugs could cause death as has been reported in the liturature. Now she may know that combinations of drugs are what is belived by many to have killed many famous people. People like Elvis and John Balushi, and Hank Williams and many others. I think that she gives a higher priority to having members be warned of the potential of death than to civility. And anyway, she is the moderator in charge and could be thinking of protectinng the members health and safety.
You see, when chemicals are taken, there could be a life or death situation.
Now reading dymphna's post in queston, she uses logic to cover what could be all the bases. First she addresses as to if the drugs were prescribed by one Dr, and then by more than one Dr. And then she writes,[... [IF} it is you that is responsible...]. Now she is covering if the drugs are taken outside of being prescribed although the grammatical structure could b interpretted differently, but I lean to that she was covering the possibility of a Dr not being involved in the obtaining of the drugs, but she asks if it is, and I do not see her stating that the drugs were obtained without a Dr prescribing because she opens with the statement with {IF}.
One way tha could happen is if the person had taken the drugs previously as being prescribed in the past and some were shelved and then recalled later. Another way is if the drugs can be obtaned by mail, legally. If there is self-medicating, then I think that Dymphna was covering that possibility.
I think that she coverd the possibilities and the members there could then have a logical explanation for what she posted to make their own determination as to take such a combination of drugs.
She then states something that I think means that the site that she moderates does not want to foster the taking of those combinations. Now that is something as to their TOS as she explained here in this thread. The TOS can be a legal aspect of these internet forums. If someone died taking the combination of drugs in question, and the TOS of that forum was against such, and Dymphna did not sanction the post, then could it be possible that she could be held liable for the member's death in some jurisdictions because of indifference and/or negligence?
Let's look at this in another situation. Suppose one member tells another member to take a particular drug. Then the member has a child born with horrific birth defects as a resuklt of taking the drug that she was told by the other member to take. Now the moderator, let's say, did not intercede with a warning about the possibility of birth defects. Could the moderator be held liable if she/he knew or {should have known}? You see, Dymphna may think that it is her duty to know because she is the moderator. It is my conviction that she knows a great deal about the chemical structure of drugs that act on the central nervous system and was alarmed at reading the drug combination in question.

>>People like Elvis and John Balushi, and Hank Williams...<<
Didn't these folks die of cocaine, barbiturates, and especially alcohol? Are we talking about psych meds here? None of the currently popular anti-depressants were even available when Elvis died. I haven't read the whole string of posts in this thread, so maybe I'm off-base here, but this kind of mixing apples and oranges strikes me as unhelpful.

> LouFriends,
Now I think that Dymphna is a concientious moderator. You see, she may have legal advice concerning what is known as criminal negligence and could have sanctioned the post in question with that in mind along with the other aspects of her moderation of that forum.
Now depending on the jurisdiction, Dymphna could have been aware of the concepts of criminal negligence and might foresee the consequences as a result of letting the post go or letting it stand without comment to point out that the combination of he drug(s) are contrindicated. The consequences listed in the liturature include death.
The concept of criminal negligence in many jurisdictions involves that someone could have the knlowlege to know that, in the case at hand, the combination of drug(s) could cause death and that the death(s) could be {avoidable} if the combinations that are contrindicated are pointed out, which she did. Now then a reasonable person standard looks at the moderator's knowlege of if the moderator could pose another to the risk of injury or death by what is known as {nonfeasance} or in the language of these forum, letting the post stand or letting it go.
But there is much more to this...

I spent this last week posting on Crazy Meds. It's a good board but threads don't advance very quickly. I think because there are so many categories (which can useful to find info on a certain med quickly).But I am glad to back at PB.

But Lou, my psychiatrist would never put me on meds or a combo of meds that could harm me. And the pharmacy always double checks if I am on a strange combination of med. They call my psychiatrist to see if mistake has been made.
Dymphna would NOT be held responsible if a combination of meds harmed me in any way (or harmed anyone else in any way). My doctor would be responsible. Dymphna doesn't know my history with meds. And I am sorry, but I disagree with you when you say that Dymphna knows a lot about meds. I don't believe she does. She was just quoting information that she found on the internet. I am not trying to put anyone down, but I am stating the facts.

> maxime,
You wrote, [...Dymphna would not be held responsible if a combination of meds harmed me in any way (or harmed anyone else in any way). My doctor would be responsible...].
I am unsure as to what authority, if any, you used here to state that. You do say that the doctor could be responsible, so if the doctor could be responsible, then could also anyone else that is an accessory to others taking a combination of drugs that could be harmful be also responsible?
Now Dymphna may have had extensive training in being a moderator of a forum invloving psychotropic drugs. She may have wanted to know her exposure to liability before she undertook the position of moderator.
Now if she did, she could have been advised of what is known as negligence and also {criminal negligence}. Now criminal negligence has the generally accepted meaning that as a result of negligence a death or serious injury happened. A serious injury in that type of forum could be something like dystonia as in tardive dyskinesia or other serious injuries.
There could have been the question as to if she has a fudiciary duty there. She also could have been concerned about civil fraud or misrepresentation. Another concern could have been {lack of supervision} and other concerns involving what her purpose is in moderating the forum. That could be determined by the TOS there and the forum's mission statement and other criteria, if any, along with the laws in the jurisdiction in question.
Now as to if she would be liable if someone took the combination of drugs in question and she left the post to stand, or let it go, as in internet parlance, and the person taking the combination of drugs died or sufferd a serious injury, I do not think that one in her position would want to be in a situation where she could think that she {could} be held liable.
Let's look at it this way by looking at another type of injury. Suppose a forum allows hatred toward a group of people by fostering racial hatred and a member of that class is attacked emotionally and psychologically on the forum and the moderator allows it by being indifferent to the posts or even saying that the rules have been drafted to allow the racial hatred statements that could arrouse, let's say, antisemitic feelings. And then bullying goes on and a member suffers the infliction of emotional distress from it along with humiliation and embarressment and feelings of unworthiness and defamation. Could the moderstor be held liable for the psychological/emotional injuries to that member if they dd not sanction the post(s)? Could they claim that they were {too busy} to intercede? Could they claim that they did not see the posts?

Anyhow, I don't want to talk about Dymphna anymore. She doesn't deserve the bandwidth.
