Dr. Sylvester,
Your characterization of manic depression makes me think you've had little
contact with anyone having a mental illness nor has any of your family been
diagnosed with one and be thankful for that if it's true. On behalf of those
I've worked with over the last 40 years, students, clients and patients who are
mentally ill, have displayed none of the behaviors you describe and have done
nothing to deserve to be treated in such a demeaning manner by you, I'm asking
for an apology instead of your shout of a first amendment violation. No one,
especially Bill, has denied you your "right" to post. The first amendment does
say you cannot speak in an incendiary way (shouting fire where there is none)
and has been upheld in internet cases. On the other hand, you have denied me my
first amendment rights to the point I left the list because you couldn't stop
attacking those on this list whom I respect deeply, leaving me feeling, why
bother belonging to TIPS.
I agree totally with my colleagues in this matter. You can't attack persons on
this list which you have done in the past in a deliberate manner and not expect
an eventual negative response. Even an old dog will eventually bite someone who
teases them mercilessly.
