> PolarbearAh, yes, I see. "Valuable input" is one that agrees with your take on things. Also see that you are too full of your own self-image of correctness to accept an apology. That's OK, I support you anyway because I believe that your heart (and perhaps even your science) is in the right place. I tried to make a point. I'm sure that I went about it in a way that didn't communicate what I wanted to say such that it could be understood by you and refuted in a way that was at least educative to me, if not one that acheived consensus. I tried to explain that but was ignored by you. I guess that you are just too angry about this issue. I just wanted to say that I suffer too because the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness isn't as precise as I know it will be one day. Regardless of what you think of me, I do know your pain. Maybe one day we can be on the same page. I hope for that day. Best Regards.
