Well we must be reading a different board. Seems to me it's the 'unconventional' posters who have to tread on eggshells round here so as not to invite another onslaught. For the life of me I cannot understand yr problem with people seeking relief for a cripplingly painful disease. There is a word for those who enjoy seeing others suffer...
It may have escaped your notice but many of the most productive & helpful posters rnd here have serious, TREATMENT RESISTANT DEPRESSION. We/they do not come here to be bombarded with yr 'culturally & socially appropriate norms'. We come to *discuss* *whatever* may provide relief. This is *our* business.
I also note that few, if any, of yr 'socially appropriate' allies ever contribute any technical expertise (not that I'm saying this is necessarily superior than support Dr Bob, but this brd wld be defunct w/o the resident expertise).
