Triedit - I don't think that someone coming on to this site should decide for themselves which board they want their post to be situated. PB is for medical issues relating to psychopharmacology; PSB is for social issues relating to psychiatry (and for general socializing); PBA is for administrative questions.

Just because someone assumes that their post will get more "hits" on a certain board, they should still stick to that board's topic and not make up their own rules, just because they want to post there. The content of each board is stated in the opening disclaimer.

The person's post wasn't deleted, it was redirected to the appropriate board.

This was what I meant by playing by the rules of the playground (this site).

What I meant was that we should consider that on a broader scale. That respect for the 'home team' can apply to so many instances.

If we play inappropriately in other countries perhaps we can understand the anger or when we try to change others perhaps its not unexpected that they will feel the need to rebel in some way--or even react inapropriately negatively even if we arent trying to be 'mean'.

I just want(ed) everyone to think about what it means to do that.
