Again, I wasn't suggesting that it be placed at the top of Babble. I was only suggesting it as a possible pro-active response to posts that could well be seen as accusatory and cause distress in people who don't understand.

The goal being to help people understand Lou's motives.

I have no desire to ban Lou. I do remember his kindness after Katrina, and I do think that Lou believes he's doing the right thing. I think that's why criticism really doesn't much affect his behavior.

If you believed you had been visited by God, in the form of a Rider on the White Horse, and had been called to be something like a prophet of old to bring people from the darkness of psychiatric medications to the light of whatever it is happened past the lake of fire in the (was it eight?) gates, wouldn't you behave much as Lou has?

If you read about the prophets, they often used harsh language to try to get the people to see what God wanted of them. And they received, and expected, a certain amount of abuse.

I make an effort to try to remember all that, and to remember my issue isn't really with Lou so much as it is with Dr. Bob. He's the one with the power. And he's chosen to exercise it in a way I don't much like. But given that he appears to be stating firmly that he's not going to change that position, I am looking for ways to mitigate whatever damage to the board certain posting styles might cause.

I don't in any way think the explanation should be given before it's needed. But when there is an issue, I think understanding might help a poster deal with subject headers of "infanticide".

How posters choose to interpret the explanation is entirely up to them and their view of the world.

But if posters prefer to counter his position with facts about medication, I can accept that. It was just an idea.
