> I did use the word "childish" in a thread on the Medications board about the happiness of giving up one's psych meds and I can see how that could be construed as hurtful even though it was not directed at any one person, but at a kind of incohate social movement in the US
Thanks. If something's directed at a movement, it can actually be more hurtful, since movements involve more than one person.
> I was responding to a series of posts that implied those of us who take psych meds are uninformed and ignorant about the medications we take and that if we knew the truth we'd toss the pill bottles in the trash.

If you're concerned about others, consider phrasing your post to make that explicit. If another poster is uncivil, please use the "notify administrators" button:

instead of being uncivil in return. Two wrongs don't make a right. I've valued your contributions and hope to keep seeing thoughtful and intelligent posts from you.
