Ive followed this board on and off for years. Ive observed Dr. Bob's heavy handed moderating. Much of it seems politically correctness based. Today the final blow, Dr. Bob tells SalArmy4Me he cant advertise his Salvation Army thing. I gotta tell you, when a person on a DEPRESSION SUPPORT message board who is personally involved with the Salvation Army cant even lobby their cause, something is wrong.
The Salvation Army helps a lot of homeless persons, many of whom are homeless due to the fact they have SEVERE mental illness such as paranoid schizophrenia. And conventional psychiatry is unable to help them many times. So its up to organisations like the good old Salvation Army to try to keep some of these homeless, mentally ill individuals alive and afloat.
Dr. Bob needs to loosen up his uptight, anal retentive ways. Or just shut down this site entirely. We have a thing in America called freedom of speech. Some take it very seriously. I know I do. Dr. Bob stifles freedom of speech.Sal shouldnt be restricted from advertising his involvement in the Salvation Army. I for one think its a very honorable and upstanding (outstanding) thing he does with the Salvation Army. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Salvation Army, nor with Sal's little offhand slogans referring to it. I would think that it would give depressives the genuine impression that someone genuinely cares.
Dr. Bob...LOOSEN UP!!

Dr. Bob stifles freedom of speech.Naw, he just doesn't want this site to get side-tracked, as it inevitably will be if religion comes into the mix.
Personally I find religious fanaticism *of any kind* particularly inappropriate at this time.

As I say in the FAQ, your freedom of speech is limited here:

I take that very seriously, and I've already warned you, so now I'm going to block you from posting. Please don't just come back under a different name.

As someone else said before - play in someone else's yard play by their rules.
At the end of the day, this is Dr Bobs site, and he can play how ever he see's fit. If you're so bothered set up your own site, and then you can set your own rules.
You've spent alot of time and energy coming here and slagging Dr Bob. Why?

There seems to be a comonality in the general populace that includes a true misunderstanding of not only freedom of speach, but censorship as well...
People think that if they are censored by another's printing press that they are some how being opressed, that in some way their constitutional rights are being violated.
True censorship exists in many places in this world, such as Nicaragua. There was a small independant newspaper who's goal was to aid the suffering indigenous peoples in the struggle against opression. The important word here is -was- because the paper's offices were bombed and several of its writers were killed.
That is true censorship, we shouldnt ever forget that.
This is the end of the thread.
