ORIGINAL: mistoferin
What I do care about is that she brings her story here as an example of what should be accepted as "ok". Well in order to make the decision personally of whether or not you want to believe it really is "ok" [...] it might be helpful to know that the person giving such advice claims to have been found mentally incompetent.
How so? I mean, I can make up whatever the hell I like and post it, like Rover said.
Quite apart from that, I am competent, and agree that it's "ok".
So we disagree on what should be "ok" and not.
That's just YKINOK all over again.
Which is kind of what the TOS tries to avoid when it speaks about dismissing others' choices.

There are a lot of people who come to these boards who have zero experience in this lifestyle.
And, quite frankly, they're not nearly as important as the people who have enough experience to judge for themselves already, and enough insight to understand that the Internet is just social darwinism waiting to happen as some sucker that takes it at face value without doing independent research to verify what has been said. It's not our job to save everyone, nor would this community be worthwhile if it was.
Why not leave it at disputing the position briefly, or putting something in your tagline?
quote:
Without presenting them with all the relevant facts I would think it would be impossible for them to look at the advice given and make an informed decision as to what would be right for themselves.
How do you propose to check what facts are relevant, and on the Internet, no less?
For that matter, you omitted the "not allowed to supply all the relevant facts" bit she said.
The search function is available if they care to look things up.
Health,
al-Aswad.
