We all hold Stephen in the highest regard for his courage & wit, his intellect is of the highest order of open mind we know. |
Imagine my surprise when a recent post on the Stephen Fry.com forum was arbitrarily deleted three times?
Curiously a comment congratulating him on taking over as president of the charity MIND, posted on the 6th of November is still awaiting moderation?
One wonders if our fair Stephen is aware of these constrictive, conservative reactions made in the guise of his good name?
Those Self Appointed Guardians of the Status Quo?
Unfortunately for those of us forced to take the journey of mental illness beyond the hallowed walls of mainstream medical opinion, this is an all to familiar reaction to our alternative comments and our recovery wisdom. In support groups all over the internet and elsewhere anyone who dares to question the common acceptance, is shouted down and shut out almost without exception. "Your dangerous," is the most common reaction to anyone pointing out the unscientific foundation of psychiatry's DSM IV, while pointing to any kind of alternative view, even of the scientific kind.
