Guys,
I don't feel that the angry posts attacking Anna are justified. They are also quite unseemly. All she did was to put into words her reactions, both intellectual and emotional, to what she had just discovered. She said that she was upset.
"i'm so upset right now. I can't believe this is happening."
People who are upset say some pretty intense things. Anna was not at all uncivil.
Why such a reaction?
I believe that some folks have such a love of Dr. Bob and Psycho-Babble, that their judgments have been clouded and their resultant reactions are not commensurate with Anna's words. Remember, for some people, Psycho-Babble is their savior. They will defend it vehemently because they have such a vested interest in its existence.
At some point, Anna may have felt as if she were backed into a corner. "Fight or flight". Remember? I think any of her subsequent posts should be viewed with this in mind.
My 2 cents.
