From: Cassandra on
I'm new here, and probably don't have the right to bring this up, but
what do people come here for? I came here because I'm between doctors,
and looking for information about medications that might be effective
for me. Last night, I posted a bit about my situation, and got some
responses -- which I appreciated, a great deal -- but it seems as
though there is a problem here between certain participants that
involves threats of legal action, etc, but nothing of any actual worth
if this group is really about support, depression, or medications.
Have I wasted my time?

Reading through the messages here, I've seen some very interesting
information, and some people who are obviously very generous with their
time. But I've seen too many threads where this good information is
lost because the flame wars start -- generally changing the focus of
the thread to who has what rights to how much free speech.

We're all adults here, I suspect, and we most of us have enough
problems in our lives, I'd guess, not to need to create new ones.
Wouldn't it be better to agree that we'll stick to the subject at hand,
and not get distracted by behavior that does nothing to improve the
group? Or is there something that I don't know because I'm new and
haven't read ALL the older posts?

(If that last is so, maybe someone should write a quick recap, so that
new people can decide whether or not this place can offer what we need?
I've read enough here to think it might be helpful for me. I will
give it a try. But I am looking for information and advice -- NOT to
be insulted by someone who has chosen to believe that verbally abusive
behavior is somehow related to a "twisted sense of humor" or has some
warped idea that that same behavior is somehow all right because the US
has an amendment to the Constitution which states that the government
-- of the US, remember -- may not create laws designed to limit freedom
of speech.)

I guess I'm asking if this is a serious news group about medications
for depression, or if it's just a place where people come to abuse
others safely and anonymously?

a little of both, unfortunately. :-( it takes a little while to separate
the wheat from the chaff, but once you do, you'll find that there's a lot of
worth while info here, and even some support on occasion. :-)

you can probably use your news reader to block the posters who seem
interested only in flaming each other, i find this very helpful reading the
group without engaging in their arguments.

Welcome to ASD-med, Cassandra.

Have you heard the saying about bad pennies driving good pennies out of
circulation?

Well, it's also true wrt bad posters driving good posters out of
usenet discussion forums like ASD-med.

For the past 5 1/2 years ASD-med's legitimate participants have been
viciously stalked and maliciously libeled by ranking members of the SPP
Criminal Stalking Ring.

See:

"Look Who's Stalking Now: Psychologists Participate in Cyberstalking
Ring"

"Inside the Brotherhood of the Blood: Wyatt Ehrenfels Presents the
Ranking Officers of Psychology's Stalking Gang"

http://www.fireflysun.com/book/sci.psychology.psychotherapy_stalker_profiles.php

Most of ASD-med's most vocal participants today are all truly heinous
people whom ranking members of the SPP Criminal Cyberstalking Ring
recruited to assist them in cyberstalking other denizens of usenet.

If you are a psychopath or a prescription drug junkie, then ASD-med is
the place for you.

If you aren't a psychopath or prescription drug junkie---then, you
best move on---

and post your inquiries to moderated forums about AD's like Dr. Bob's
Psychobabble or CrazyMed's etc.

Yes, Linda would love it if no one posted here but her, and she will try
like the dickens to get you to leave.

Its an unmoderated news group, as such, anything goes, I figure.

I know I asked before, but I'm not grasping a key element of your suffering.....if
you're still anonymous, what has changed? Or, if something did change, what might
prevent you from using yet another new handle?

I've been around a while, and you say you've been around a while, and I dunno.....I
didn't learn anything by discovering you had in fact been around before.
