Gab-
You jsut made it so clear for me- you hit the nail on the head when you said:
"That kind of accusation coming from a Dr. toward somone in a vulnerable position is really really frightening. What if a suicidal person posted and he accused them of just wanting to test how he would react because he doesn't allow suicidal posts.."
Iagine if a poster was in a worse position than I am... that's exactly why it bothered me so much- to know that a doc couldn't understand that I'm extremely scared and emotional right now.. it IS extremely frightening...
Thank you for making me feel less alone.. and for making me laugh... seeing him all tweaked out in an alley ranting about Babble.. hehe...

The most important thing to him was to skewer you, to show that you hadn't put anything past him.. and he had no proof, he couldn't have, he was wrong. That kind of accusation coming from a Dr. toward somone in a vulnerable position is really really frightening. What if a suicidal person posted and he accused them of just wanting to test how he would react because he doesn't allow suicidal posts..
