I just wanted to thank you, Dr Bob, for starting a website that saved my mental health.
Every day of my life I feel abnormal - because I have emotional problems that the average person cannot admit to relating to.
In spite of that I know that I'm still a human being, especially when I come here and meet people who relate to the emtoional ups and downs of my average day.
You encounter a lot of criticism because you are most renowned for telling people to "please be civil" or "Please use double quotes". I understand that you have a professional reputation to uphold and that there are liabilities that come along with having a psychiatric website (eg; you cannot encourage a culture which enables people to buy prescription drugs on the open market). I would not want to be in your shoes for obvious reasons and just want to thank you for the continuing support that you, and your site, provides.
Thanks Dr Bob,
Alara
