Where I get pulled in is when I see posts that claim in an absolute way things like "mental illness is caused by a chemical imbalance" or "psych drugs are necessary or required for condition XYZ" or "people on psych drugs commit suicide because the drugs make them well enough to do it".
It seems to be ok to make such claims, but if you make a claim to the contrary -- e.g. there is no evidence for the chemical imbalance theory -- people just will not tolerate it and consider it a personal attack.
