Well, I'm new here, but the discription of the board does say "for education and support" not "for debate." I used to spend way too much time on debate boards, it was really an addiction for me, and I stopped with great difficulty. The time I spent debating on line was not healthy for me. I am not looking to debate anyone. The poster we are discussing is not being supportive in any way. The poster is also not being educational since s/he is not linking educational sites but is linking "skeptics" sites. His purpose does not seem to be education but denigration of therapy. If he falls within your posting guidelines he has the right to post, but I also have the right not to stick around. I was happy to find this site since in my real life I have no one to talk with about my therapy but if it is not safe I can't stay.
