Thanks! I am *usually* nice, I just get mad sometimes. My post to Lou was crude and unpleasant. I should have said it differently...
I get frustrated by Lou's posts because I think many of them could be frightening to new posters and vulnerable people. Lou does not discuss things as such, but I'm not sure he can. His posting style is rather cryptic. Threads tends to go off course and the original poster's question is lost.
Like Sigi said, Lou's poetic moments can be excellent but I do not think he is going about 'saving lives' in the right way. When discussing the risks of a particular drug, it would be better to post a link to an article, study or case report. It's particularly important to maintain a balanced viewpoint. All psychiatric drugs have risks, we know this, but we need to look at the benefits too. Drug treatment is usually about balancing the risks and side effects against the benefits. Scare tactics are not very helpful.
Perhaps you would like to be my civility buddy!!! ;-)
