While everything you say makes sense, there is something else to be considered here and that is the mission and philosophy behind John Ls doing this.

Wasn't it called Patients as Partners? Who remembers? Anyway, my point is that John doesn't owe us anything, but he created something that is bordering on TREATMENT. One could argue that this forum and due to the success of it, has become a vital need for some or alot of, actually, people's mental health with all kinds of various conditions.

Abrupt withdrawal is not good; we should have been and still should be better informed.

two cents,
