> And if I might make another. I think if Solstice starts a separate thread, and requests that anti medication posts not be made on that thread, perhaps Dr. Bob will move some of the posts on the current thread to Admin. If there is a lot of activity on Medication, perhaps the board will turn over soon.
I tried to start a separate thread for Lou to post his views about my daughter's situation - but he has not used it - which seems to underscore that his purpose is less about his brand of 'education' and is really more about defeating my threat through hijacking. It's his way of overwhelming the flow of information that serves the purpose of the thread - me getting input from others on the board about possible medical AND non-medical treatments for my daughter.
And it's upsetting that there has been no intervention.
I think if I started another thread to continue getting input related to my issue, Lou would just follow that second thread, because disruption seems to be the goal.

> And I hope this is recognized as the attempt to help posters that it was intended. I've always considered the best result to be achieving my goals without unnecessary casualties.:-) You, Dinah, are the definition of balance. And really.. this is NOT an issue of Lou being 'unlikeable' or 'unacceptable.' I can easily accept him, accept his message, and am happy to see him participate in the forum. My issue is that he has a single message, and uses tactics to spread that message that are nothing less than bullying and uncivil (as in hijacking a thread and dominating it by repetition of his message). It's not Lou that I object to. It's not even his message. It's his tactics - his behavior - that is universally considered uncivil at best - and should not be permitted to take place.
I know you suggested that I not be specific by using a certain person's name.. and I get why that's a good idea... but it would feel weird to do that when there isn't anyone who would read this and not know who is engaging in this objectionable behavior - because Lou is the only one here who wages these kinds of wars. My and my daughter's needs being met are what threatens to be the casualty of the tactics he uses. And that's what his objective seems to be - to defeat the thread of a concerned mom exploring medication and non-medication options for her daughter :-(

ps I apologize if I'm repeating myself somewhat. I'm just worn out trying to keep my head above water - and it feels like I'm being pushed under (by the tactics being used to defeat my thread).
