I agree with you, PartlyCloudy. The board does point out it is for support and education. It appears from about 97% of the posts that's the reason for the posters. I feel that a psychology board for the use of support and education is to be highly protected.
Many people including myself are on medications, in various therapies, and have been hospitalized for various mental affictions. With that in mind, it would appear that an environment conducive of supporting one's choice of modality. Also, it would appear that one's dx would not become involved in a debate of validity of proof. For many mental dxs are not made with blood tests and MRI's, but by observation and symptoms expressed by the patient.
However, if debates are classified as a supportive/educational purposes, it should be done so with a standard of conduct. Such debate would end if either poster chooses to be uncivil toward the other. If debates are started on the board, they need to be even more closely monitored due to they can become uncivil in many ways.
