NikkiT2,
Another critera for acceptability or not is to examine the post in the context of a mental-health forum.
There was just a post here that came from a book that addressed this and I think that it is great in describing this situation. But that was describing a different setting. Here, we are in a mental-health setting, each seeking "support" and education about our afflictions. So IMHO, the rules could be different here for posting the posts in question.
Someone posted here that these type of posts in question that involve peoples could be posted on their refridgerator. And that would be up to the individual [outside] of this forum. But would it be appropriate here on this forum? I do not think so, for ridicule and making fun of a class of peoples can be detrimental to the mental health of those peoples and ,possibly, others also.
