I think the idea should be considered the topic of a civility discussion separate from any issues with any particular poster. I strongly believe that "drugging your children" with or without "could" is inherently accusing, and unless parents are proceeding without a psychiatrist, inherently untruthful as well as accusing.

I agree. I've always had a visceral reaction to that phrase.

I know that if the topic ever came up, this would be the last place I'd ever look for answers. Knowing that I'd very likely be accused of drugging my kid, and potentially causing him to become a mass murderer. And I'm invested in Babble! Imagine how a casual poster or newcomer would feel!
And of course I'm guessing you and I and several others can join in the chorus of Dr. Bob's probable response. Likely his posting equivalent of "Don't let the door hit your rear on the way out." Hmmmm.... "If you don't think you'd like being accused of potentially turning your child into a mass murderer, Babble might not be the best place for you to ask questions like that." Does that sound right? I'd be delighted to have misjudged him.

Sounds about right to me. I'll never understand certain interpretations of self-expression that are apparently, allegedly, supposedly seen as civil here. Never, ever, ever.
When my now adult 'kid' was small, I drugged her for strep throat and for ear infections. I drugged my kid for chronic pain. I drugged her for vitamin and iron deficiencies. I drugged my kid for burns and abrasions on her skin. When she was 18, legal but still completely relying on me to help decide and to facilitate any kind of medical treatment, I highly encouraged her to drug herself with....[drum roll] a psychiatric medication when she had sudden, persistent suicidal ideation and depression. Since my insurance covered this drug and without me she really wouldn't have known it was available or how to get it (we were living in Europe at the time), I take responsibility for druggin' her that time, too. She, after a small adjustment since she was so sensitive to the 'drug' (prefer to call these medications, but...I'll go with the flow) felt vastly better within six weeks and has never had another suicidal thought in the 13 years since. She voluntarily chose when to stop drugging herself.
My daughter drugs her daughter for infections, pain, allergies and more. She does so as little as possible and trusts her own judgment to know when to do so, and when to enlist the help of a doctor to potentially prescribe certain drugs, and whether or not to give them to her daughter after weighing risks and benefits. I approve of and have assisted in this drugging of my granddaughter. She is a remarkably happy, healthy child who accepts a reasonable level of druggin' when presented to her (not old enough to decide too much yet, but she gets a say) and declines drugs when she feels better. She has a serious and mature appreciation of what grown-up and possibly dangerous tools drugs are, just as she does with hammers, the stove, and the controls on our cars - she leaves the tool-using, cooking, driving and drugging to her parents and me unless she is expressly told she may touch or use these tools, supervised. If she ever shows mental health symptoms just as alarming or painful as the physical ones she has been drugged for by the adults in her life who love and care for her, I would gladly support her parents' decision to drug her with a psychiatric 'drug' as well. I see this as balanced, attentive parenting and grandparenting, doing the best we can at each turn. Life is full of choices; they can go wrong but we must do the best we can with what we know at the time, especially for kids who can't so for themselves.
I wish medicine had advanced enough while I was a youngster so my doctor and parents had even known enough about my suffering with ADD to consider the **option** of druggin' me with some helpful drug. That way, I well may not have drugged myself with nicotine, caffeine and sometimes alcohol for decades trying to relieve symptoms.
I am proud of my drugging of my kid and her drugging of her kid. I feel the same about it as I do about my feeding her fruits and veggies and lots of water, teaching her to swim, or allowing her to ride a bike fast (without helmets, which were unheard of back in the day). She could have choked on a piece of carrot, slipped on a banana peel dropped on the floor and broken a bone, drowned, or cracked her head open, and yes, died, or killed me or herself after taking that drug, I suppose. Yet, I still feel this was all rationale, responsible parenting. I am sure I'd feel even stronger had my D. or gd had cancer, diabetes, severe asthma, allergy to bee stings, deep depression, schizophrenia, or anything else that could quickly be deadly.
It's as simple as this for me.
Proud drugger.

To me, it means...oh, please tell me she shut up after that...finally!! But that's not your style either.

These are all fine points. You have me convinced.
Sometimes, it is difficult for me to completely ignore the context within which a phrase is used or the motivations and attitudes that I believe the author possesses. Of course, such beliefs would be difficult to prove, and are rather subjective. Still, I don't often see the word "medicating" used to depict an undesirable behavior. I more often see that the word "drugging" is used this way.
"He drugged me, then robbed me."
"He medicated me, then robbed me."
I'll try to be less prejudiced when I see the word "drugging" used.

That is so funny cuz the first thing I thought of was rap and the second thing was Eminem, (it mentions "8 Mile" - I love that movie, BTW, although it has some rough parts....)
which, come to think of it, in and of itself shows my age...
But seriously, I know you were complimenting me but I didn't see it as getting the better of anyone while writing it, but instead just trying to turn the phrases druggin', drugging, drug your child and so forth into something posters could maybe see differently, something perfectly ordinary in the scheme of daily life.I have bad visceral reactions to the use of the word like that, too, but then I started thinking, perhaps *I* am giving them the negative power, so then *I* can remove it, too. It's all in how you look at it.
You gotta drug who you gotta drug ;-)
Thanks for posting....I miss you.

I think that's a great attitude, 10der. I tend to beat myself up over my choices. Your way sounds healthier.
It's not *just* that portion of the wording though. When accompanied by statements that "drugging your children" "could" lead to mass murders, etc., it's a bit hard for me to interpret it in any sort of positive way.

I know and agree. I'm still working on those bits of it...more challenging.
Maybe I'll come up with something to help neutralize, but some things....
I think I just skip right over everything right after "could lead to..." since I've seen it literally dozens of times.

Well, *we* can. But I doubt it's reasonable to expect newcomers to dismiss it as repetitive. It's not repetitive to them.
It's not even applicable to me. But I strongly identify with the potential readers who are worried and confused parents. I feel rather like I feel about people who came to Psychology and made highly.... hmmmmm..... "negative" statements about therapy and therapists.

I'm not taking up for fear-mongering in any form or by anyone-- but I do wonder if we've understood how fears and hopes work here.
Maybe if we remembered our own choice to post here-- and the reasons why we did become long-term posters-- we can better understand what Lou's impact-- or our own-- is. Perhaps that would give us a different insight into our own process-- rather than if we imagine what new posters might feel-- from our present points of view.~~~
I remember coming here before I posted-- years and years ago-- and being frightened by, for example, individuals' expressions of fear-- to which I resonated-- Yet none of us would consider anything these individuals have written to be uncivil. They were expressing their own anxieties-- quite rightfully-- and asking for help in coping with them. No one would ever want to deny them that right of expression and seeking for help--There are stories by many here of fears, or bad reactions to drugs, or weight gain-- failure of repeated trials of ADs to work--nightmarish interactions with insensitive pdocs, etc--that might actually be more frightening to new posters than all the extreme rhetoric in the world-- especially when it's pointed out by other posters.
And I think each new poster comes here with a history of fears and hopes, looking for confirmation-- or disproofs-- -- in the absence of any guarantees. For each of us, starting a new drug is an difficult venture, spurred by bad experiences of some sort-- and right now, given the state of medical science-- it's going to be a rather uncertain one. I think at best we can offer hope, and support through the uncertainty, try to be there when the person experiences whatever effects come-- and try to slightly make it easier to come to a good (for that person) process.
My bet is that most new posters have read many posts here before they actually post. And from what I've seen, it's possible that many come here not with the intention of becoming permanent posters-- but for limited information or the answers to certain questions.
If so-- why? how does the site as a whole feel as they read it over and make a preliminary connection to how they might want to interact here?I wish we knew more-- but really we're groping in the dark a bit to come to a better place as a community. But we should look more closely before we blame Lou for driving people away-- despite our own immediate, reflexive belief that he might-- because we may be ignoring and somewhat singling him out-- for a process in which he is certainly an important actor-- but which is not really controlled by him.

There's a difference, though, between expressing one's own fears about our own treatment choices or lack thereof and projecting our fear onto others' potential choices.

Me, I fear people will stop coming to Babble, which is a fear some posters have expressed. At the same time, Babble has been resilient, (some) new people are coming, (some) old people are staying, I'm still here, and I think we're all learning, so I have hope that Babble will make it.

It is written here by Mr. Hsiung,
[...my not responding to requests could potentially lead to being hated, which could also be a life-ruining condition, and in an extreme case, death...].
I am unsure as to what your drafting here with your grammatical structure of the statement and if you could post answers here to the following, then I could know what you are wanting readers to think and I could then respond to you.
You did write before the statement here,[...I wonder if you feel frustrated by me...]
Now the post that you are responding to here follows a question from me to you. But still, I would like clarification by the following.
True or false
A. By you not responding to requests, the requestor could be hated
B. By not responding to requests, the one that does not respond could be hated
C. Both could be hated
Complete
D. The life-ruining condition as an example, could be__________________________________
E.The death that could result could be:____________________
F. The people that have hate infused in them, if there are such, by that you do not respond to requests are those that:__________________
G. If you think that I feel frustrated by that there are years of outstanding requests/notifications from me to you, would that be what you mean by "supportive" since you state that support takes precedence here?
H. If so, and you do what in your thinking will be good for this community as a whole, what good could result from the fact that there are years of outstanding requests/notifications from me here?
Here are some posts that I would like readers to read in relation to this.

Be advised that the God that I give service and worship to is a Sun and a Shield. The Sun gives me the healing rays and the Shield protects me from hate being infused into me by anyone. No one here or any place else can cause me to harbor hate, for my God is a shield from all the hate that could be thrown at me, be it here or anywhere else.
So take no thought that I might hate you. But seek the posts that arouse hatred, in particular but not limited to the Jews, for a lot of those could hate you for allowing those type of posts to stand that are insulting to Jews and others for they could not agree with you that you do what in your thinking will be good for this community as a whole, and those stones that are cast at the Jews here that you allow to stand, could be thrown back to you.
