I'm saying that 'in nice.' In another 6 months he'll be all skinny and have unwashed hair, and a scraggly beard, screaming at strangers on the street that they are the spawn of Bob's board.
I think he wouldn't have to read the whole board though, you can just type key words into the "edit" function scan the screen and it will highlight the words, it would still be time consuming but he wouldn't have to read each post.
It's pretty sad that Dr. John is so involved with this petty stuff when people acutally need help.That's it. That's what really galled me. He completely overlooked your pain, and if he genuinely thought you were being negative, well
being a psychiatrist should have understood the many possible reasons for that *aside from you having an ulterior motive*. The most important thing to him was to skewer you, to show that you hadn't put anything past him.. and he had no proof, he couldn't have, he was wrong. That kind of accusation coming from a Dr. toward somone in a vulnerable position is really really frightening. What if a suicidal person posted and he accused them of just wanting to test how he would react because he doesn't allow suicidal posts..Okay I'm on a tangent, and I'll stop now.
