BOB MOYLAN was thinking about books and keyed into cyberspace:
BM>Steven Godbe (On 08 Jul 97) was overheard pontificating to MARK
BM>PROBERT 
BM> The content of your post similarly invalidates all of what she had
BM>to  say.  Can the "doc" not speak for herself?
This IS the real issue. Why is Mr. Godbe posting in her defense? Is she 
incapable of engaging in a dialogue?
BM> SG> although I by no means would have read her posting to be
BM> SG> directed at any person in particular.  It was deliberately
BM> SG> non-specific out of consideration for the feelings of echo
BM> SG> participants. 
BM> I didn't take it as directed at any specific individual, and while I
BM> hesitate to speak for Mark (he is more than capable of doing so for
BM> himself) I don't consider that his response was an attack on her.
BM> I'm curious to know how YOU are so much aware of what the good
BM>doctor  was thinking and what she was taking into consideration.
Bob, do you smell a conspiracy here? 
BM> SG> Why do you suppose you chose to interpret it as a personal
BM> SG> attack and part of some personal 'agenda' instead of what it
BM> SG> was, 
BM> See above re "personal attack".  We've seen many come into this and
BM> similar echos/newsgroups with personal agendas ... once burned twice
BM> shy...
BM> SG> a heart-felt note of sympathy for those she felt were in harm's
BM> SG> way,
BM> I personally don't think that anyone who comes into this echo and
BM> throws Breggin's name out, as if he were the end word on ADHD/ADD,
BM> has much consideration or sympathy for the participants.
I would love to know what form of "harm's way" Mr. Godbe is referring 
to. 
Does he mean relevant treatment including psychopharmacology? Does he 
think that that is a harm? Inquiring minds want to know.
BM> SG> and a brief recommended reading list for any who might care for
BM> SG> one?
BM> Recommended reading lists are always welcome...
BM> SG> You, Mr. Probert, have given new validity to the cliche', "no
BM> SG> good deed goes unpunished."
BM> You are saying then that it's quite alright for "Dr. Dot" to advance
BM> her beliefs and thinking on an issue but that she shouldn't be
BM> questioned on them?
BM> Not in this echo Mr. Godbe .... everything is questioned especially
BM> when a known anti-medication 'there's no such thing as ADHD'
BM> _authority_ is mentioned.
Please don't use "authority" to refer to Breggin. 
I smell scientology, or a Phyllis Schlafley clone.
