> BobI was only rephrasing what has been indicated many times on the board about benzo.org and its kin. It is apparent to many users that the site has misinformation and that the user and the professor quoted appears to have some sort of agenda to get all people off of benzodiazepines. That's not responsible either. Bnezodiazepines have many legitimate values for users on this board, including myself, which I could not get through a day at the moment due to a rare disorder. So I think that phrasing is fairly civil. There was no attack on anybody's character.
It would be the same if I commented on the "church of scientology", which as a doctor I'm sure you are aware that they have a dangerous viewpoint against all psychiatry and use actors such as Tom Cruise to boost their agenda.They hide behind numerous internet domains which if you dig into them you discover are paid by CoS, such as Narconon and other dubious organizations. And then they basically take people's life savings away -- I know personally that some people have gotten pulled into that before. And if you walk around any of their buildings here in southern california or other places they have "shifty" guards standing out front. It is rather scary.
At any rate, that is all I was trying to communicate -- that one has to look at the viewpoints of sites carefully and search for those that abide by codes such as HoN or similar signs of legitimacy of dispersal of realistic and factual information (e.g. emedicine, WebMD, etc.)
