This is absolutely too much like a soap opera I've missed the first half of. What did these fellows Spink and YYYH do that was so terrible they got booted? Does Dookie=Infatuation=Spink?

Well, Spink and Chris 62 were fiancées, but then it turned out that YYYH had fathered Spink's illegitimate child that he had during his marriage to Ming, so Chris was going to leave him, but then it turned out they were actually identical twins separated at birth.

Nah. Stupid gag. The real story is basically that they "invaded" the forums of another hosted site on the Gamestats network, and were banned for life because of this. Spink sneaked back as a DL, and eventually got integrated enough again to be perfectly accepted by the community, and the admins have no problems with it. This was all over two years ago, anyway.

In the case of Mr SS, it was when people started dropping allusions to it, such as calling him "Stew". A bit of a giveaway.

In the case of the aforementioned historical character, it was the first time he edited one of his posts only to produce a message reading "This post has been edited by Yo Yo Yo Hey". Again, a bit of a giveaway, albeit an odd one.

So what does this go to show? If this is what passes as subterfuge God help us if there's another war...

good to see life ban at apolyton has same sort of meaning as life imprisonment here in australia. After maybe 8-10 you get out of jail , here it was less than 2 years ... gee life isnt as long as it used to be

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

It is possible to have a sneaking feeling that the owners here, and mods for that matter, are possibly not such guys as go in for such OTT propositions as lifetime bans but that, like us all, they are not always 100% free to do at all times exactly what they like, even on an internet site which they own and run.

So, if said sneaking suspicion were to be right and a further sneaking suspicion that posters here would probably all agree with said attitude of said owners and mods, then it becomes possible to see why persons of sense might first openly refer (that is refer in places where persons who might have a part in limiting freedom of said owners and mods might occasionally peek) to said ancient history and current shared attitudes thereto but then delete said references.

PS Peekers rarely read very long sentences.

Before someone again accuses me of death threats, at least provide me the courtesy of a responce.

Infatuation knew I was kidding, but he wanted to prove a point, and as a rule, my posts could be roughly be interpreted as an implied threat, even though this was not the case, so I was banned.

Fine and dandy, and for those who supported me, my thanks.

For those who didn't, well, your entitled to your opinion.

Lefty- Actually even the rich don't get decent mental health care here in the US. You see psychiatrists generally come from the bottom 5 to 10 percent of their medical school classes. I did some of my training at a psychiatiric hospital considered one of the best in America. The main advantage over an average institution they had was nicer decor and a population whose parents could pay for an indefinate stay regardless of what was or wasn't being accomplished.

I'm soooo sorry I spoiled the pissing match, but with one participant having been allegedly banned I thought that the match was over.

Pretty interesting. What about other specialties? And how much of a quality spread is there between top 5% and bottom 5%.

I recomend psychiatrists that also have a STRONG background in neurology and some in endocrinology, the fields concerned with the organics of many mental health problems. With neurolgy pratices that ceal with ADD-HA flooded with children in the past ten years, Many adult hyperactives and others that might have been going to a neurologist before and now consigned to psychyatrists, Actuaaly this can be an advantage since a high proportiona of adult ADD-HA patients are also subject to clinical depression, the brain chemistries have many similarities.

Getting back to the topic I don't think a psychiatrist with a neurology or endocrinology background would have helped the woman any more than one without those backgrounds. What she needed was someone who had a good rapport with her, was willing and able to carefully elicit and follow up on cues indicating a worsening of her condition and who was willing to take appropriate measures to stablize her. Mind you I don't know that some of this wasn't done anyway. Sometimes there just isn't anything a physician can do about what a patient hides from him/her.

While ADHD certainly has been a growing part of the practise of child psychiatry I don't think it has had a major impact on the patient load of adult psychiatrists. In my own experience the last few adults I saw complaining of ADHD like symptoms, and asking for stimulant medication also seemed rather concerned about their weight. Strangely neither had been diagnosed as having ADHD as children, and both had achieved excellent adjustment as adults. Since I had only their subjective complaints to make the diagnosis on, since in my mind there was a concern that they were using the medication as a weight control medication, and since neither met the established criteria for using stimulants as a treatment for weight control I declined to give them medication.

How 'bout some pep pills Doc? C'mon!

BTW: What's your specialty and how much does the bottomof the barrel differ from the cream of the crop? And does the need for intelligence (or good grades) vary based on specialty? i.e if you're an orthopod it doesn't matter but if your an internist it does? I could see how diagnosis would be better be brighter docs...but the amount of tough diagnosis could vary from field to field

GP: Let's face it, pay is not equal among the various medical specialties. Those specialties that tend to earn the highest pay like cardiovacular and neurosurgery also command the cream of the crop. Opthalmology, which maintains its own seperate governing College is also highly selective. It's difficult to compare the class ranking of those more select fields with the larger specialties such as family practise and internal medicine because of the larger proportion of classes who enter their training programs. Also you have to consider that internal medicine includes not only general internists, but also 9 subspecialties: cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, gerontology, allergy and immunology, rheumatology, endocrinology, hematology and oncology, and substance abuse medicine. Over all internists comprise the middle of the pack. I'm an internist and I'm flattered you think so highly of me. Now bend over and say "AHHH."

Oh, BTW, prior to the 1960s a duel specialty in neurology and psychiatry was fairly common, and in fact was required in order to enter training for the subspecialty of Psychoanalysis. As better psychotropic medicines have become available Psychoanalysis has pretty much died out as a field, and I believe that now no longer has the duel specialty requirement.
