Sometimes uncertainty about the validity of the source of information can make us feel uncomfortable. If I were an attorney, would you prefer that I direct you to an Internet site I administer where any information anyone might offer is welcome, true or not, but where information that might make you feel like you are going to lose your case is prohibited?

Several local television news stations have physicians that distribute medical information, I hope you will protect me from them as well in case I can't grab my remote in time to protect myself. Thanks Mary.

If I were an attorney, I would be more limited in what I could offer, at least if I wanted to protect my license. As a common citizen, I can review the standards that apply in the context of circumstances observed and ask how they compare without implying legal advice. One need not be an attorney to understand an average person's role in presenting information about a licensed professional to a review board.
If I were an attorney operating a web discussion about law for people with legal problems, in which my identity as an attorney was a standard feature of daily administrative processes, I would do so in the context of professional obligations that exceed those of others who operate a similar site but who are not lawyers.

Do you know of any television station whose liability attorneys would agree to the broadcast of a reality program in which a psychiatrist administers an open-to-the-public self-help group populated largely by people suffering diagnosed psychiatric complaints, but in which the psychiatrist's primary role in the group is to routinely and single-handedly vote people off the island and in which the psychiatrist owns the "island"?

OK, and what is your dx that brought you to this site? I am BipolarII, and suffer also from GAD and panic attacks. I think we would all like to know, Mary.

I feel frustrated that you still haven't answered my question. Are you an attorney? Also, in your posts, you say "we" a lot. Can you tell me who "we" is?
Is the scenario you describe an analogy for Dr. Bob and PsychoBabble? If so, I don't think the analogy holds. You write, "If I were an attorney, would you prefer that I direct you to an Internet site..." Dr. Bob did not direct me to this site. In a previous thread you refer to Dr. Bob recruiting members to this site, but I for one was not recruited. You continue, "...where any information anyone might offer is welcome, true or not..." As a reasonable adult, I know that I have to evaluate all the input I receive from this site with discernment. I believe that there is a question about that on the registration quiz. It is my personal choice to agree or disagree with information on this website. You continue by writing, "...but where information that might make you feel like you are going to lose your case is prohibited?" If this is an analogy for Dr. Bob's PsychoBabble, can you explain what this part of the analogy means? I'm not clear.

Its nothing to do with Dr Bob that I would be heart broken to see this site go.
I use another site, totally non-mental health related.. quite quite far from it infact *l* I would also be heartbroken and very upset if that were to suddenly dissapear.
Its the VISITORS that make a website. A website is nothing, absolutaly nothing wihtout its vistors. Its the peopl here I would miss. Having somewhere to go full of people I have got to know and be able to say almost anything and receive support for it. Stuff that I simply can't say else where.
Do each of the people I would miss here have a therapuetic responsibility toward me? Should they be sued for failing me?

I would feel an obligation to disclose at the very least any current or previous posting name(s).
Dr. Bob has the courage to put his real name up there. Gotta admire him for that. He puts everything on the line for a site that causes him nothing but trouble.
I'd shut it down if I were him. Hopefully he has more intestinal fortitude than I do.
