Hello all I wanted to comment on all the bantering and bickering going on in this forum and some of the other forums here at askme.com. PLEASE STOP! This is a place where people are asking for help. Whatever opinions or suggestions you have for the people posting questions should remain just as that. Debates can be held elsewhere. The person asking the question can CHOOSE on their own what advice they want to take seriously. Ratings and your standing should not be such a big issue especially NOT in these types of forums. I look through these forums hoping to find a similar problem as mine and guess what?! ALL I read are these little side comments about other experts and hostile remarks. IT does not HELP me or others who are in need of support and advice! These differences of opinion or insults can be posted privately or even better can be ignored (since we do not know each other intimately and we do have other lives than this on the forum)...There is no need for insulting remarks in open posts or whether or not ECT works or if psychiatry is B.S....that is for the individual to decide not by the "EXPERT" (who we all agree can be just anybody!)... Please stop and return this forum back to it's natural state. Give your own honest advice and move on with your life. Thanks.

The larger proportion of people logged on as experts do follow an ethical format and strive to supply any information that will be of benefit to the person in need. Try not to take it to heart. Every one works as individuals and whether other experts approve of their approach is not your problem hon and it isn't mine. It is theirs... In essence I agree with your opinion, and will continue to supply information as it is requested. All the best to you :)Jill.

No it's not my problem your right, but that doesn't mean that I can't remind them and hope to steer them back to what this forum was meant to do. It is not just differences of opinions in these forums that are stated here, it is also little side comments insulting one another which doesn't help someone who really needs help...Imagine trying to get an answer and reading "So-and so has no idea what he is talking about.."..etc.. Thanks for supporting my statement.
