It's a repost, but it still fits...

Quote:

At the end of the day, how did schizophrenia.com score?

Civility: I have to give credit where credit is due. With the exception of the moderators, the participants were kind, courteous, supportive and empathic.

Expression: Expression is only permitted within a narrow framework as defined by the site moderators. Any other personal perspective will be modified or deleted by the moderators.

Quality Information: The schizophrenia.com site is large and I'm not in any position to determine the quality of every single article there. You've already seen what I saw, so I suggest you make your own decision as to the quality of the information offered.

Balanced Moderation: It was the most controlling and heavily moderated environment I have ever witnessed in any online community.

schizophrenia.com will make it to my links section, but only in the warning section.

And let that be a lesson to all of us to not only choose our caregivers wisely but also our peers and support groups. People cannot get well in an environment where they are repeatedly told they can never recover and where the voices of those who have or have helped others do so, are silenced.
