A "Moonie" is a member of the Unification
Church-- yes. I have no reason to believe
that Dr. Bob is "Moonie", but I have no
reason to believe that he is not. All I know
about him is that he is an Associatie Professor
at the University of Chicago. I have not
seen his C.V.But whatever he is, i believe that the practice
of posting deaths of people unknown, and whose
deaths can only be known by him and their friends,
is irresponsible. It is a practice that is
an emotional trigger for vulnerable, and suicidal
people here. Suicide triggers the imagination of unstable people-- it doesn't matter who they are or how they died (it could be a car accident) but as it is posted here anonymously, it is related to mental health. In darker tones, it is the kind of thing that acts as an emotional reinforcer.And last, it is disrespectful to post it so anonymously, with no obituary.
I just don't find it good psychiatric practice.
