> Do you not see that this forum is for people with differfent points of view?
I certainly do, and I challenge you to prove otherwise. It is my disagreement of your point of view that you seem unable to tolerate. So it is ironic that this should be an issue with you.
> And my point of view does not stop you from posting to others...
You are not telling me anything that I don't already know and put into practice. I am also very much aware of my freedom to post to you at my discretion, either within threads started by you or by anyone else.
> ...nor point of view cause anyone to read what I post for they could just ignore what I post here.
I am not sure as to what are all of the various reasons why people read your posts. I do know that some people do this, despite being upset or incensed by them. It just is.
> But I say to you, that those that want to suppress what I want to say, could result in an indoctrination here where my perspective is missing.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't feel that I am in any way suppressing what you say. I have never challenged your freedom to speak within the guidelines of the Psycho-Babble forum. I am simply disagree with you and challenging your conclusions and those things that you offer as being fact. This is the way of freedom of speech and democracy, and the synthesis of opinion through the dialectic method.
Posting here is a privelege. It seems to me that you are very priveleged, indeed.
I believe that your posts are a detriment to the health of Psycho-Babble as a living forum, and also impact negatively upon the health of many people coming here looking for support and education. I believe that you provide neither, despite the presumed altruistic nature of your motivations. I find the content of your posts to have the potential to do more harm than good.
For the most part, I refrain from replying to, or commenting on, your posts. I can't recall you ever answering a direct question that I posed to you as a challenge to your sources of information and conclusions. Until this forum is once again moderated, I guess I could say anything I want to as long as I don't use profanity. However, I elect to post with some degree of civility. I do so despite your failing to observe the civility proscriptions of overgeneralization and exaggeration.
