Na Link, you are as important here as anyone. Each person is unique not only in their symptoms, their disease, their treatment, and their responses to treatment, but also unique in their role of sharing information and support. This site is all about sharing information and support for each other. You have always been good at that. Nobody ever said anyone's support or information had to fit some preconceived mold, and I don't think anyone would appreciate such an antiseptic environment. Differing opinions serve good purposes, not just here, but in every walk of life. They build man's knowledge.
If someone's opinion differs from someone else's, that's just the nature of the field, and well, of the whole world.
My only humble critique would be to mention things in general terms next time rather than naming names. For example, "someone who" believes in magic pills, rather than specifying any particular person.
Post-fluoxetine weeks can be a little unsettling emotionally, sometimes in subtle ways that aren't immediately recognized. Since you recently stopped fluoxetine cold turkey, I can understand some slightly exaggerated emotions. I know you believe what you feel, and it is real, but it is probably at this moment not the large mountain it appears to be. Withdrawals have a hint of tweeking perception a little bit.
