> Posting information about one's adverse reaction in another social setting, albeit an on-line setting similar to this one, appears consistent with the purpose of this page which is for "general discussion and support."
Viewing forums as such, then yes, posting about a social experience would lead one to post about it on a social board. And as the originator of the thread posted here in order to pass on what she found humorous, it was indeed appropriate to post here. It likely is my concern that leads this to an administrative issue, and thus, I have posted this on the admin board.
I am concerned that some who post on both boards, including me, may feel hurt or offended if a board they post on is mentioned by name and is criticized. Would such a post be considered civil?

> I support the style of on-line support and educational socialization where operators of experimental on-line forums adhere to requirements that they record reports of adverse reactions.I'm sorry, I do not understand your use of the phrase "experimental on-line forums". And the accompanying statement about how they must adhere to requirements of adverse reaction reporting sounds like something that would come from an IRB, which would have nothing to do with the board mentioned in the thread began by Tofuemmy. Although as an aside, this aspect of your post is ringing a vague bell in my mind that makes me wonder about your posting name....
>Unless there are legal liabilities involved, I don't see the merit in disallowing supportive educational posts about a possible course of action in cases where a clinician has been named in relation to a hurtful circumstance.
A similar situation could be when a client has a complaint about his/her therapist. One frequently sees those kind of posts on the Psychology board. It is the convention of that board not to name the clinician involved. Imagine if you were a client of that clincian as well. How might you feel if you learned that your trusted T was involved in an unethical relationship with another client via someone else's post?
It's one thing to report and process your own reactions to your experience on another board and to give and receive support about the same. But must that board be named?
